>Gothic, I believe.
One of the first things you see is a loading screen, dude.
>>318039783
That was some really fucking crazy shit back in the day. As far as I remember, no one pulled that off for several years after this game.

>implying there was any game with instant start aside from really small ones
It had no loading screens while I running around the world as far as I remember.
>>318042608
Well yeah, that's true. The only time a loading screen appears is if you go to some bigger underground location like one of the mines or the Orc settlements.

just like soul reaver

They masked the loading pretty cleverly.
The long ass door opening animations, Raziel's slow walk through the portal, long repeating straits and small corridors, you did tons of time wasting stuff and some times these moments was stacked ontop of each other for the heavier loading. They got away with it by doing the smart thing of never letting the player be snapped out of gameplay, the cherry on top was that it all fit thematically.

As far as i remember the old mine in gothic 1 had a loading screen
Fuck, I need to play Gothic.

The weird thing is that i got my hands on a pirated ruski version of the game before the release and there were none of those animations, except for opening doors. I swear it was like magick when you just walked through the portal and you were instantly in a different place. Blew my mind back then.
itt ppl to young to have played cartridge games

That's another brilliant trickery they used. All teleportation rooms are loaded all together because they are all fairly small and low detail so when you switched portals you are basically just switching through preloaded rooms and when Raziel walked through that was the "mark" of what needed to be loaded up once you exited that room. And the way to those portals was through those slow doors and usually long spiral staircases.
