So in the story mode video that was leaked it took about 20 seconds to load the relatively simple gym stage on the Xbox 360. This is pretty shocking because

1) generally loading times improve since the alpha build, not get worse
2) DOA has always been a series known for incredibly fast loading

If that was indeed the final build and the PS3 version has a mandatory install I think I'll be getting rid of my 360 preorder very quickly. In my experience most people online don't have DOA4 installed to the HDD and I don't think DOA5 will be different, except for the fact I'll be looking at a black screen much longer now.

If anyone has contacts at Tecmo or has played the final build I'd like your input on the matter

Use the 20 seconds to concentrate on the upcoming fight and that's it. Besides, it's probably just story mode... and who the hell plays story mode anyway¿

Maybe the build they have isn't the retail build? DOA usually has pretty quick loads. ^ good to hear Dogg.

Don't worry TN will fix the problem ;) besides, 20 second loading times is better then a ugly, choppy glinchy game.
So far, DOA 5 is looking to being polish & beautiful. :)

DoA4 didn't exactly have stellar loading times either. And 20 seconds isn't that long....

I'd assume with the install the load times would be close to alpha demo since that's on the HDD, but what worries me is not many people will install it.. 20 seconds is almost an entire round added to every online match :(

so did they nerf holds in the final build or is it worse than 0.95?

I didn't say anything about the final build. Just that this French guy didn't bother installing the game to his console.

I'll play it only as many times as necessary to get all achievements, unlocks and titles associated to it. Then I'll never touch it again.

Actually DOA4's load times were really fast when it was installed.

Cool beans then. Unfortunately though it seems most people are dumb and don't install their games, so we'll still have to put up with it online.

Damn, according to cyberevil the PS3 install isn't mandatory... Maybe a good thing to do is play offline with no DLC until there's a proper comparison then sell whichever version sucks more ;p
