As seen on our blue tracker, a Battle.net forum member just made a post inquiring about how loading screens would work on Diablo 3. Bashiok had some good news to deliver:
There aren't any loading screens. Personally I think it's amazing and I don't understand the magic the programmers have worked, but the game is instant or near instant. The same is true for initial game load. Start up the game, create a character, click a button and the game world shows up. No waiting and no real discernible pause. Mileage may vary slightly of course, but it would (from what I've seen) be in the realm of a second or two second pause at most.
Having played the demo at BlizzCon last year, I can tell you that he's not joking. The loading times from area to area are extremely impressive considering all that's going on in the game. We sure have come a long way since "insert disk #8" haven't we?
I am really happy for how far we have gotten from diablo 1 to diablo 3.
I wouldve liked something like diablo 1 loading screens though. but still, no loading screens keep you in the action and that is what they are trying to accomplish. so i give a kudos to the diablo 3 development team.
Thats awesome...double click ZAAPPP single player or Battle.net (Unless its the first time installing then you gatta watch the cinimatic :D)

Or even a stranger
And to know who needs help
You need only just ask
Now that is what i was thinking. If WoW can do it than diablo3 should be able to do it. That same concept should go for Starcraft 2, too. SC2 seems to have a loading screen from what i seen so far. Hopefully someone can tell me that there will be an implementation to remove loading in SC2.

Can't wait to play without waiting the loading screens to load

No, there had high computers but not like crazy insane high end computers.
Blizzard said no loading screens and I. Jizzed. In. My pants.
