This has been discussed quite a bit. The really isn't any reason at all for there to be loading time for morphs because there is enough ram to load up all the characters into memory basing on the amount of space they currently take up on MK3 and MKT. Even a graphics upgrade it would still be simple to do. If there is loading for morphs, do NOT buy it.

There shouldn't be any on either but I'm not putting it out of the question that there might be some for Ps2 if you don't have the HD.

Now the xbox will definitely not have any loading what so ever. If it does, well that is just sad if it does. I have seen many games run on xbox with no loading what so ever and they are more complex games then some 2-D fighter.

Either way I'm getting the xbox version. Only way I'm not is if the xbox version would lack in some area or something when compared to the ps2 version.

lol that's a bit harsh isn't it?? I play MKT on my PS2 all the time and it takes FOREVER to morph if u leave the option on, but I'd play this game if it took a day to morph, I mean, it's MK baby!!!

Seriously tho I hope morphing is NOT an issue in this MAT2...

PS2 has 32 megs of ram, no game in it's full uncompressed state from MK1 through MK3 is as much or more than that. There's no question that each current system is capable of no loading time for morphs, the question is, how lazy will they be about this? If they are that lazy, then I see no reason to give them money for sub standard system usage.

PSX could not fit all the characters, PS2 and XBox can. UMK3 is the largest of the MK arcade games and that is roughly 40 megs total for the entire game. It really should not be an issue.

Also, it'd be interesting to see if they bother to program it to use any HDs. There would be a lag if it had to load the character data off of the HD, so I assume thats only an option if they have no other possible way.

UMK3 is exactly 32 megs uncompressed for the entire game by the way, minus 8 megs for Ultimate itself is 24 megs for MK3, approximately, it's a bit less.

How horrible it would be, particularly if there is a loading time for Shang morph in MK1-2...

I'm glad that it's possible to fix, lets hope they won,t be lazy
