PS5 loading really is near-instant

And there we have it. Impressed by LEDs? Using LEDs to still have a slight dig at the competition?

Putting my Sherlock hat on, I would say you are 12 years old, maybe young teen? Explains an awful awful lot.

Meanwhile, adults everywhere appreciate the fact that there aren't gaudy coloured lights everywhere.

Although having said that, they are probably still the least offensive thing about the PS5 form and factor.

I just want to discuss games.

 

[Neo Blaster]

You do know that there have been many cuts in the video, right?

 

[saintjules]

Watching that loading circle in godfall fill up in 1 second is so satisfying

Yeah I loved that.

this comes from that Japanese preview/hands on article

Pretty sure he talks about the PS4, since the previous paragraph is about the comparison between the two:

At first glance, some people may think, "Isn't it so different from PS4?", But when I actually played the game, I felt that the "benefits" of PS4 and PS5 would be quite different. .. There is a feeling that you can get by "tactile" such as "haptic feedback" and "adaptive trigger", but the first is "reading speed". This means that there is no "unreasonable waiting time" during play. Soberly and surely, the benefits were felt great.

When it becomes GAME OVER or when switching maps, it can be restarted in a few seconds or the map is switched, and when restarting or switching stages it takes about 1 minute to load, so when playing I think that thinking will change.


Have you ever wondered if you shouldn't go back to the previous map now because it's a hassle to switch maps?


If you can fast travel in an open world game in a few seconds, you might want to actively explore every corner of the map.


Have you ever thought about taking quests in bulk in the northwestern area, as it takes more than 30 seconds to load each time you fast travel?


I think that not having to think about such "extra things" is a big thing in playing the game. Some people may use the length of the load to switch their minds or use their time positively.


I think that there are many titles that display TIPS using the loading time, but as a player, it is better not to do it. The “quality” of the game experience will vary greatly depending on whether the load is actually long or short. I think it's worth choosing the PS5 version instead of the PS4 version just because of the extreme theory "this".

What moron said that?

the guy who was invite by Sony to have a hands on experience with the console

ひと足早くPS5を体験！ 試遊で感じたPS5の驚きとは？

11月12日発売予定のPS5をいち早く実体験！　試遊プレイでわかった本体性能などをレポート

unless google translate completely fucked up (which is possible) that was state ten made in this article

Nobody believes this except you.

>1 minute to load
hahahahahahaha

Ok, so we selectively choose stuff from preview feedback, that makes sense.

you guys should have beef with the guy who wrote this not me, it is the same article that you are so excited about when it mentions that ps5 was silent and cold, make your mind, do you believe this article or not?

 

[xacto]

Wait ... what? Why do I always remember 'X' is 'confirm' for 99% of PS games?

Because you never used a Japanese controller.

 

[PSX]

It looks waayyyy thinner than fake renders, and definetly not as tall also.

What is happenning?

it has different shape in ever angle but some pictures are AR don’t believe them with Xbox side by side. Wait until the official release or real thing. It’s sad Xbox fans trying to make look bad.

 

[Codexer]

 

[kyliethicc]

shots fired at Nintendo lol

Not really, but makes sense to unify the controls globally on PS5.

 

[Lysandros]

Beyond all the stupid jokes and memes, it really sounds like it's a "Battaglia problem" more than a Digital Foundry problem.

This guy is so frustrated, when he should be so happy with his new shiny 3080 which totally brings the PS5 into the freaking ground.

He is only the little apprentice of the man running the show, Richard.

Stop before giving yourself an aneurism, man

 

[BlueXImpulse]

Seems Sony locked elements of the software off.

 

[Neo Blaster]

I think UI must be ready because consoless are startin being packed and shipped in a moment. We are 40 days from launch in US, if they would ship it by sea it will be already done. But if they are flying with their first batch they have 1 or 2 weeks more. Definitely we will have one last show this month.

You know these consoles are being manufactured for quite some time, don't you? It doesn't matter how they will deliver it, it's done. Unless the first thing we see when it's turned on is a screen asking us to wait for UI download.

 

[xHunter]

Yeah that migh be it. Here is a DeepL translation which is a lot better than google:

Poof, "It's not that different from the PS4, is it? But after playing the game, we found that there is a big difference between the benefits of PS4 and PS5. "There are some tactile sensations such as haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, but most importantly "It's all about loading speed. You don't have to wait around unnecessarily while playing. The benefit of this is subtle, but I definitely felt it was a big benefit.

　I think it's different when you're playing when you're restarting or switching between maps in a few seconds after a game over or when you switch maps, than when you're restarting or switching between stages that take about a minute to load.

　Have you ever thought about not going back to the previous map for now because of the time it takes to switch between maps?

　If you could fast-travel in an open-world game in a couple of seconds, wouldn't you want to actively explore every inch of the map?

　Have you ever thought about taking quests in the northwest area in bulk because it takes more than 30 seconds to load every time you fast travel?

It's clearly being compared to older hardware.

 

[kyliethicc]

Wait ... what? Why do I always remember 'X' is 'confirm' for 99% of PS games?

In Japan on PS1234 the circle button and the cross button are swapped compared to the west.

Japanese is right to left and a circle is "yes" and a cross is "no"essentially for them. The circle is the right most button as well.

Same reason why Nintendo puts A to the right of B and uses A as their main confirm button.

But in the west, circles and crosses are viewed the opposite I guess, so we use X for yes and O for no. And we read/write left to right.

 

[Neo Blaster]

still almost 4 seconds for a small game. The whole game is ~2 GB. Not that impressive. Or what am I missing? Is this supposed to be impressive?

the stream I watched had many cuts.

And you know the size based on what? A leaked picture with a mouse cursor on the lower corner?

 

[JonnyMP3]

The fuck!?
Bo_Hazem comes back and geordiemp has now gone again.
I can't keep up anymore.
And there's still over a month to go...

I think I may have to screen people for the next hype train.

 

[zubairali2]

This fast loading is going to make all the difference to so many gamers.

holy crap, that godfall loading is insane! i cant wait to play demons souls

 

[Neo Blaster]

From here...

But is the HDMI cable toasty when I touch it?

 

[Lysandros]

Remember when he so nobly said it would not have hardware for RT?

Such a smart guy, DF does good work.

I remember this very well, together with John they expected PS5 to be a 8.4 TF system without RT hardware.

 

[BlueXImpulse]

holy crap, that godfall loading is insane! i cant wait to play demons souls

I had to make sure I wasn't seeing things

 

[Neo Blaster]

Apparently following translation, the PS5 runs silent and at a temperature of 30 degrees after 2 hours.

30 degrees in what metrics?

 

[Dibils2k]

It looks waayyyy thinner than fake renders, and definetly not as tall also.

What is happenning?

we literally have measurements for the consoles... its not hard to know real size

 

[zaitsu]

 

[jasondefaoite]

Poorly translated. They are comparing to the PS4. When you need to fast travel or switch a map, it could take a couple of minutes. So you'd think about if you would even want to bother to do it. Whereas with the PS5, it takes a few seconds.

 

[LiquidRex]

From what I can recall Redgamingtech had debunked talk the PS5 was overheating months ago.

 

[kyliethicc]

I remember this very well, together with John they expected PS5 to be a 8.4 TF system without RT hardware.

Rightly so, because thats all it is lol. 9 TF RDNA 1 at best, and its gonna cost well over $600.

 

[IllegalLemon]

Show the cuts in the gif above

This one:

I don't know what cuts he's talking about as i haven't seen any cuts in the gif myself. Only a halving of loading time from 10 seconds in Geoff's video to 5 seconds in this recent gameplay, a very nice reduction might i add!!!

 

[Neo Blaster]

This fast loading is going to make all the difference to so many gamers.

Damn, I don't even have time to read GAF news after I die.

 

[PSX]

Pause options in upcoming games that build around the SSD? Give me flashbacks from old consoles, it would be cool if we can pause a game while screensaver/screenshot and lore running in background.

This issue is still fundamentally, its game to game dependent. just need to chill and wait to see cross gen games.

 

[BlueXImpulse]

Now the PS5 loading is nothing revolutionary

Epic had to rewrite parts of the new engine to make use of it but it's nothing special I guess.

At first renders i hated PS5 look, it was kinda distraction space machine. XsX looked much more minimalistic and i preferred it. But now conparing those two in RL photos XSX just look like lazy design work. PS5 is still strange but really brave design. And I started to like it.

And just a few days ago people didn't believe Demon's Souls was really loading that fast.

 

[Garani]

More ray traced goodness! Man! A real game changer!

30 degrees in what metrics?

Probably Celsius since Fahrenheit would give you -1.1 Celsius. Kelvin... we're not even talking about that.

That is SSR. Don't you see the SSR artifacts!

 

[Lethal01]

Welp it's offcial
Sony's marketing is the best we've ever seen in the from any console developer.

 

[IllegalLemon]

I didn't understand a word of this.
It's all greek to me.

Yep, it's greek. He is in doubt that greeks would ever be able to leak any of the consoles' UI since he thinks that they'll barely be able to get around 10 PS5's on store shelves in Greece by launch. It's quite reasonable to assume so.
As an aside, I'm greek too. Greetings from Cyprus!!!

I am amazed by the RT tech! (I know I am milking the trolling... I promise that this is going to be my last post on the matter )

I think this reflection represents equivalent of 2060 super.

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

They didn't get to see the UI, maybe they will reveal it soon?

Wait until Battaglia gets wind of this... He's going to do the milking all right

 

[Neo Blaster]

Well, asked myself who playing games in a room with 30 C. LOL
But good to hear it is silent in that warm room.

Anyway, it was warm because studios lights

PS5 is very quiet according to the previews

Both 4Gamer and Dengeki are reporting that the console was very silent when they tried it during the PS5 preview event. https://www.4gamer.net/games/990/G999027/20201002016/ They say that the room they were in was around 30 degrees celcius (86ºF) because of the studio lights, and they could...

Brazil here, hello!!

 

[smallpotatosan]

it’s fascinating to see some people still in denial mode. When are they going to transition to the next phase?

there is nothing surprising revealed at all. too bad we still don’t get a full UI reveal. I bet Sony hasn’t finished polishing it

 

[Garani]

You know these consoles are being manufactured for quite some time, don't you? It doesn't matter how they will deliver it, it's done. Unless the first thing we see when it's turned on is a screen asking us to wait for UI download.

Can I pre-download the OS update? Asking for a friend, because THE SHOP CANCELLED MY FUCKING PREORDER!

Welp it's offcial

I wasn't expecting VTubers, but I hear it's a big thing in Japan. Heck, I love Anime, but I just can't get to understand the VTuber scene.
