Max Payne 3 - No Loading Screens?!

So I have followed the Max Payne series from the beginning and was suitably impressed with the John Woo-style combat mixed with the film noir genre. Those of you who remember The Punisher will find a connecting theme with the dead family and whatnot, but I liked how Max Payne's experience took much more of a psychological thriller approach (i.e. hallucinations). With the constant innovations in computer graphics and mechanics, Max Payne 3 looks like it will be continuing an upward trend (not counting the movie, which was kind of boring, in my opinion). What this new installment seems to promise at the moment is no loading screens at all. I'll give that a moment to sink in... Okay, so this would potentially make Max Payne 3 one of the most immersive and "real" experiences in any game to date, with the only detraction being the comic-style additions that are the game's signature style (although apparently, these occur during live-action gameplay). This, along with improved and more realistic mechanics (different types of cover being more easily penetrable than others - i.e., stone, metal, wood, etc. - something that could have been used in Call of Duty), should make for a pretty intense experience. Plus, killing people looks more fun than ever!

But, while all this is promised and more, we all know by now that actions speak louder than words. The combat could be fun, but the story could suck, no depth to characters, etc. I wanted to discuss this game, or at the very least the concept, to take a step back and objectively contemplate whether this will be the next great innovation in gaming history. No loading screens is something that I would've laughed at back when playing say, Deus Ex (still the best FPS ever, by the way), which to me would have seemed too complicated to be able to handle a feature like that. Getting rid of loading screens will be the next step in gaming, like when 3D graphics were first made a possibility. As far as I know, even open-world games do not even have this feature (*cough* Skyrim). What does this mean to you as a gamer? Would you miss loading screens or feel weird at their absence because you are so used to them? I would really love to hear some input on this.
