10 GENIUS Ways Video Games Hide Load Times

The amount of planets available for you to explore in each Ratchet & Clank is truly impressive, and makes you feel like a bona fide interstellar explorer. Of course, you don't just teleport magically from world to world - those kinds of trips take time, and a sturdy vessel to get you from A to B.

In the early entries of the series, you grow oddly attached to your trusty spaceship, which is largely down to the repeated shots of it zooming through space every time you travel to another planet.

There are usually no more than 3 of these clips before the world appears in your view, and each of them are different. The length of this sequence is realistic in that it really feels like you're on a journey across space, and aren't just dropped abruptly at the next level after sitting through a dull loading screen.

Your investment gets deeper every time your ship is upgraded, as you're eager to see those shots of your new ride as it soars towards your destination, and each subsequent flight becomes a lasting reminder of how far you've come.
