Experiment
Unmasked Loader
Briefing
It is time to see how "Driver: Parallel Lines" loads the game.
Method
I deleted the loader.gfx file so the game was unable to use it while loading the game.
Result
I was successfully able to delete the file which enabled me to see the game load. Watching it load was pretty interesting. Especially when loading different parts of the game.
Loading from a New Game
This is what I found pretty interesting, when you start a new game the game loads rays garage first and then plays the fmv after the fmv your driving away from the cops a long way away from the garage in Manhattan island. But the game still manages to get to that stage pretty quickly so really it was never a problem, I would have just thought it would be more effective if it loaded Manhattan island first.
Normal Loading at any garage or safehouse
The game just loads the LOD version of surrounding buildings and then loads the garage or safehouse your in.
Videos (Here are some videos which show this happening in real time)
-videos coming soon
Images (Here are some standalone images which show you it loading)
