I've had enough shimmying along ledges and squeezing through cracks sideways to last me a lifetime

surely there are better solutions to that non-issue. Like a loading screen.

You would rather see a loading screen every 40ft than have them hide asset streaming?

Yes it’s overused, but that just means they need to get a bit more clever with their slow-downs. I would take them over a loading screen any day.

There’s a video on YouTube showing a breakdown of the level streaming in The new resident evil game and it’s clever because it’s just hidden by doors and corners.

I think games use a lot more level streaming the people realise and yeah it absolutely doesn’t need to be a narrow passageway.
