Boot up times for games: it's great, no complaints there. Way better than my PC, I have the best Samsung NVMe (970 evo) and it still takes me 1m 40s to load R6 Siege. It proves the point that a game not developed for this tech has shit all benefits.
But switching between games? The demos I saw still took upwards of 17 seconds to swap to a 20 year old OG Xbox game. I was hoping for Alt+Tab level speed. When I'm playing a game with lots of down time on PC (matchmaking, grinding) I often have a second game loaded....which I can swap to in literally less than a second by Alt+Tabbing. So even if PS5 is 50% faster, that's still nearly 10 seconds?! (I know PS5's SSD isn't 50% faster I'm just making a point).
As I said I have one of the top end PC NVMe's and it's slow as fuck so this is not "PC Master Race" BS. I don't expect a single one of my PC games to benefit from next-gen console like loading until well after consoles been optimised for this. I'm just disappointed that nearly 20 seconds of loading time is being billed as "almost instant"?! Instant my ass.
