No loading screens at all in Resistance 2, says Price

Speaking in a live interview on Eurogamer, Insomniac boss Ted Price has revealed that you're not going to see a single loading screen in upcoming shooter Resistance 2, all thanks to tech improvements made since the release of the first game.

"We do have streaming of textures and other assets now," said Price. "Not only does this improve the overall look but it cuts down on load times. In fact, you shouldn't notice any loading screens in R2. We've also added a lot more tech-wise - detail maps, new lighting system, new effects system, better normal mapping, better specular response, redone shaders and lots of behind-the-scenes stuff that makes the game really stand out aesthetically."

He added: "You'll see bigger 'levels' or 'chapters' this time around. And hopefully you won't see any loading screens. At least that's the plan!"

Ted's still going, so get over there and ask him a question. See if you can find out what colour his pants are.
