I had a chance to sit down with a group of developers to talk about Warhawk during E3. Most of the discussion about the game itself was kinda boring, but I perked up when they started talking about load times.
According to the developers, a chunk of Warhawk loads onto the Playstation 3's harddrive the first time you go to play the game. This cuts down dramatically on the load times, they said. They said they weren't sure yet whether Sony would allow them to keep the content on the harddrive or if they would have to reload it everytime the system was rebooted.
This would explain the whole two to three second load times that Sony is claiming, but I don't think I'd want my 10 pound PS3 all loaded up with games I've played once a year ago, like some glorified Memory Card. —Brian Crecente
