That patent expired a couple years ago IIRC, but I still haven't been seeing any loading minigames. Are games starting to do them yet?

- WXLCKNO 3y agoAre loading times still a thing with new consoles? I don't own last gen consoles but I remember them making a big fuss about it.
- UnlockedSecrets 3y agoIt makes alot less sense now with SSD's being as fast as they are largely llimiting how long a loading screen will be.
- robotnikman 3y agoIt's funny when you play older games with things on the loading screen you only see them for a split second nowadays. I played Bayonetta for the first time a few months ago on my steam deck, and during loading times you were able to practice combos and stuff. Unfortunately it only lasted for a split second since it loads so fast from the SSD, I'm guessing it's original release on console disc allowed players a bit more time to try it while it was loading from the disc.
- boastful_inaba 3y agoYou can still hit a button to stop the loading from finishing, IIRC, and then just hang around on the combo practice screen as long as you like.
- wahnfrieden 3y agoIt doesn’t matter anymore
- lukas099 3y agoIf you can consider it a minigame, when you are skydiving down into the depths and the music and atmosphere changes in TOTK... that's a loading screen.
