As we know most MMORPG;s have a loading screen and this loading screen gather the content and prepare us to keep going on to the next location. Now, what if there were no loading screens, is this possible for such a game. I enjoy games much better where I don't have to sit and wait for a new location to suddenly appear I like the build up of the moment and the exciting child like hype as I walk, sail, drive, or even fly to the next pointed objective. Such like Minecraft the only loading screen you'll see is when joining the game and going to another dimension.
I don't want to say I'm advertising games but another example is DayZ, sure the world is big and it may take a few hours to walk or drive across the entire map but who knows what you'll find as you journey across the land. Maybe you'll see another player and they'll accompany you or you'll find some rare loot. Such an open game should feel like an open game without the occasional "I'm taking the portal you coming?! Can't wait to go. Okay, (few seconds later) Oh you there...Yeah I'm still loading..." the hype for that new experience is a little downed.
I'd like to list another game (Which is in progress by one man called "Divergence") It's an open world sandbox MMORPG where you have no limits, such as building house the way you want, open world with great detail, no loading screens and a some Si Fii. You can check it [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trpmoQnEDfA[/url]. I'm not sure of how it works but the "Divergence" creator explained it as streaming the entire world. Weather or not this is possible to withold on servers as you have maybe millions of players and so many objects that the servers actually hold up to stream this much. Do you think this could already be a feature? Would you like this feature or would you not?

Like no mans sky

I like the loading screens cus they give me a chance to get food or pee between matches
-
destiny doesnt have loading screens, they have a third person camera that follows your hyperfast ship across the solar system.
-
What are the chances of anyone sitting there playing destiny and saying "Damn I sure wish there were more loading screens..."
-
Especially a game as big as Destiny, The loading screens would be more painful than the ones in Modnation Racers.
-
Loading screens are my worst enemy.

Well if it ever gets on PC loading times can be reduced dramatically, especially if it's on an SSD. I'm not too sure about the console version, but I think Tomb Raider does a great job with this, it's open world, and there are no loading screens.
-
I think if there's one or two discs you install onto your hard-drive (optionally for those who have or are purchasing Arcade) and then have one game disc (like any common PC game) then that'd be enough to remove load-screens, and it'd be much-appreciated.

Even WoW has *some* loading screens when you do certain activities. They're necessary for certain interactions, such as transitioning from in-planet to space I can imagine. Otherwise, they'd have to make every inch of every planet playable. And I doubt they'd do that.
-
Is there a demo available somewhere? I was not aware that there are loading screens in Destiny.
-
I definitely agree. If they could make an elder scrolls game without loading screens that would be awesome. If they make Destiny without them that would be awesomer
-
We have no idea what the capabilities of the next-gen consoles will be, so we can only wait.
-
Halo 2 didn't have loading screens in the campaign. While it wasn't the best transition, it was fairly smooth. With the next generation's power and speed, I don't think it will be a problem. I'm really excited for it!
-
It's probably ambitious, but yes, I would like to see a seamless open world.
-
I think they should do it like ODST's It's a fair balance between a loading screen and no loading screen.
-
Loading screens aren't a "feature", they are necessary for the most part. A lot more goes into making games than just pressing a "Add Loading System" button.
