Having worked in video games, I can tell you with certainty that we just measured how long it usually took to load a level in a certain console, and added some jitter with a random number generator to it so it looked more "real".,(reply>), @D e v i a l No, if it's ready faster we skipped straight to 100% and you go to the game. If it took longer, we'd leave you at 97% until it was ready.,(reply>), So if it happened to load faster then what ? You'd just artificially delay it to match the rng'd progress bar ?
