Shifted Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Now you can! http://www.gameplanet.com.au/news/g565b7471541a1/Namcos-patent-on-loading-screen-games-expires-today/ PS I'd also be happy with the current loading screen NOT freezing. The fun of controlling the ship is gone if it's there for a second, chokes, then it gives you another second and you're in mission already. I'm fine with it being longer if it means no freezes.

(PSN)KestralSylver Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) I still can't believe that Namco managed to patent that. It's a pretty loose concept to patent if you ask me. Liset meets Asteroid? Galaga? Infested Centipede? Wyrmius? Pong? Edited November 30, 2015 by (PS4)KestralSylver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tocorro Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I still can't believe that Namco managed to patent that. It's a pretty loose concept to patent if you ask me. Apple did patent "rounded edges" Everything is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LavenderLaser Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Apple did patent "rounded edges" Everything is possible. Look at some of the stuff Nintendo's patented over the years: http://stks.freshpatents.com/Nintendo-Co-Ltd-nm1.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuroraSonicBoom Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I suggest them to do that a year ago, and I still really hope they're doing something with the loading screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)KestralSylver Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Apple did patent "rounded edges" Everything is possible. I just have to wonder if there's like a special room for facepalming at the *insert nation* patent office, or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melos-mevim Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 how about no I'd rather have faster loading screens as well as development of more meaningful content AND bug fixing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chhkt Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I'd like to see my Liset on hydraulics and be thumping a mean bass line as it bounces and jumps in the loading screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vasvaska Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 This type of patents (software) does not apply to Europe. I'm sure software patenting is a thing in the USA but no information about other places. Europe has it patents right. On topic, it would be awesome to be able to do stuff other than flap hatches while loading. People with shower, read potato, PCs will be happy to have something to do.

Kz.Prime Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 My warframe loads pretty fast. But it would be fun and unique :) Liset craft space invaders :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzatuw Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 how about no I'd rather have faster loading screens as well as development of more meaningful content AND bug fixingTell me one update that didn't have a single bug fix. You can't. Just cause you won't like it doesn't mean it's not meaningful content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malacronious Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Ah yes, Tekken 5. Good times...good times. I cant even count the times I have wondered why other developers didnt have similar mini games in their loading screens. Now I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerosoul1337 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Now you can! http://www.gameplanet.com.au/news/g565b7471541a1/Namcos-patent-on-loading-screen-games-expires-today/ PS I'd also be happy with the current loading screen NOT freezing. The fun of controlling the ship is gone if it's there for a second, chokes, then it gives you another second and you're in mission already. I'm fine with it being longer if it means no freezes. I have no loading issue except joining bad host. But nice information! Thanks :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryouhi Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 well usually i'm loading for like what? 5-15 seconds depending on connections and stuff. I personally don't really see the point for a 10second minigame ö.ö Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
