great

[garos82]

but one thing i dont understand is how fast they managed to fix this. i mean couldnt they have refined and fixed this during the beta stage?

anyways looking forward to the demo and see what all the fuss is about :)

@harry kid: long time ago? this game not even out yet!!!

[Redempteur]

Well i tried the demo yesterday and it's shorter than in the beta for me .

as for the load times maybe they focused on bugs and features first and then got help from other studios

[hay]

@garos82:

1. Patching takes time. They could work on it since beta and they could be confident enough to released it now. Also, they could have other priorities. Making games isn't bread and butter.
2. I have it for almost a week now. Great game.

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

Id played the Demo (is not patched), and I must say, the loading times is not even so long.

Is good to know will reduce the loading times, but for me is not a problem.

[sikbeta]

Lol and People were complaining, If Sony could cut the loading times of Dantenetta, aka the crappy port, They could wonders with this Game

MNR FTW!!!

[Legosz]

Too bad reviewers don't take patches into consideration when grading games or this would get a 10/10 :)

[PS3Freak]

I regret to inform everyone, but i already have the game(benifits of working at a video store). The loading times are really bad. I don't know how bad it was before though because i never played the beta, but it's really bad now.

Regardless, the parts of the game i was able to play(without active online servers) were very fun.

@ps3freak18

What is the time when you load a circuit?

In the demo takes around 50 seconds to load the circuit (the only available for the demo). ¿What is the difference with the full version?

[PS3Freak]

I didn't time it, but it'd say 50 seconds to a minute sounds about right.
Disagree with me all you want people, because u think i am bashing the game, but i am not.

[BannedForNineYears]

I thought this patch came out a long time ago. -_-

[SuperStrokey1123]

The games not even out yet so maybe you should think this through first.

[captain-obvious]

yep
he is right

and yes i got the game

[Socomer 1979]

i was thinking about getting modnation racers in about 6 weeks but im still very much enjoying motorstorm pacific rift and wipeout HD.

I hope modnation does well for itself as i may have to miss out.

[MajestieBeast]

You cant have it all i passed on Alan Wake so i could buy RDR,modnation and 3d dot.

[ClownBelt]

It could have been delayed for a month to fix the loading problems you know..

[BurninDragon08]

You are right. All these people are disagreeing are oblivious about it. The disks are already made and the game is made to load slowly. So when the game comes out they will release a patch so the loading times will be less. HOW ELSE COULD THEY FIX IT? DISKS ARE ALREADY MADE SO THEY CAN'T FIX THE ISSUE WITHOUT A PATCH. COME ON PEOPLE.

[DaRazorback]

They are great to be shortened, but when will they release this update?

[kharma45]

The first patch (1.01 which came out last Thursday) doesn't shorten the load times.

It'll be the second patch which addresses them.

[garos82]

?

[kharma45]

I've absolutely no idea what it did, all I know is that it was 39MB in size. I didn't notice any changes in the game.

Might have been for the online component of the game.

[XactGamer]

Thank god

[Rowsdower]

its a fun game

[The Wood]

i had the beta and i should of had this early but my dude fell through...pissed

[Rowsdower]

and the load times were really long, it was one of the few things I did not like about the game. I do not own the retail version yet. So if there is a patch that shortens the load times then

thats good news
its a fun game

[despair]

I found the demo released yesterday to have much shorter loadtimes than the beta so with the new patch I'm guessing it will become a non issue. Not that it was much of one for me before.

[Madis007]

wait?
Game isnt even out

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

For Europe is released.

[kharma45]

Comes out in the EU in 2 days.

[Sorensen]

In Denmark the game was released today, (I don't know what kind of privileges we have in this part of the world). However, as soon as I put the game into my PS3 there was an update (patch) available, I don't know if the update helped for reducing the loading times, but still you have to wait around 30 seconds every time the game has to load something. Another thing was that I couldn't access to the on-line mode, even though my connection was working fine. Apart from that the game is great, I just hope they release a patch soon that can fix the waiting times and probably the online mode will start working on friday, once the game is released in the rest of Europe.

[Clutch04]

Good thing they are fixing the load times. Unfortunately where I'm at I can't download the patch, so I'll have to wait two months :( Maybe I'll just wait to play it until then.

[caffman]

having a problem getting the demo to install? Everytime I install it comes up error with corrupt data! Its bugging the crap out of me

[garos82]

if i got an issues ill pm you.

im looking forward to check this out. its slowly but surely creeping up on my radar

[manman6]

[foxxy]
