from The Fat Man:
Here’s the first of some surprises I’m throwing out there for October. #1, this cool Halloween album. Loads of sweet scary arrangements of game tunes from fellow game composers. The fifth track is my own The Game from Trilobyte Games #The7thGuest, played by my surf band #LosCoronados and featuring a wild #moog solo by keyboard legend (and good friend) Adam Holzman. Next surprise…might there be a video? Stay tuned! Tagging David Ari Fischer
Yeah anyone who thinks 3D games without loading screens are only possible on SSDs needs to go back and play Dungeon Siege or Asheron’s Call. GTA3 mostly didn’t have loading screens either.
The Witcher 3 wasn’t even that long ago and it didn’t need loading screens on HDDs. (traveling between the main big areas did, but I guess that’s more because they didn’t have an animation of Geralt taking a boat or something, everything else streamed fine)
