Lord Error
Insane For Sony

Here's a quote from one of the four tested games:
What surprised me about their yesterday's update was how they said that Rally X could not actually be played while the game was booting/loading but rather only after the game already loaded... That's weitd and kinda defeat the purpose. On the flipside, there's apparently more emulated minigames included, not only Rally X.
Here's a quote from one of the four tested games:
Ridge Racers
Starting up the game from the XMB menu or from a power off, following the Sony Computer Entertainment and PSP logos, the screen goes blank for 16 seconds before the Namco logo appears. From there, there's no more loading until you enter a race. The car and track selection screens don't have any loading when you first start the game, as they're apparently loaded during the initial loading period.
Once you've selected a car and track and set your choice for automatic or manual transmission, the game takes between 13 and 15 to start the race. These extremes are based on the four tracks that we were able to try out.
Finish a race, and there's zero load time to start a replay. However, when you select to go back to the car and track selection screens, the game goes through about ten seconds of loading (this is where we got confused yesterday).
We still hope that playing around with the options will reveal a shortcut for track and car selection (as was used for fighting games back in the 32-bit days) so that we can jump right into a new race with as little delay as possible. Even without this feature, the load times aren't all that bad. The game's interface is so smooth we couldn't believe we were looking at a launch title, and the lengthy, intense races that await make the loading times okay with us.
