They're reduced on a HDD as well

This is on PS4.
Edit: And with HDD too.
I wonder if SP shared GoT loading tech with ND.

Of course. But a SSD just really helps.
But no I didn't read it. Put the damn info in the post op instead of letting my lazy ass read links.
Edit: read it now. Pretty good ND could reduce it. But why couldn't they before the PS5 pre patch? Should've been able to do the optimization before.

Wtf. Two minutes to 13 seconds, with the same old PS4 and rust drive?
Are they backporting Sucker Punch compression magic I wonder? They got 200m x 200m terrain tiles to just 2 MB which was part of the magic behind the insane load times for a HDD on GoT.

Remember how concerned people were that PS4 games wouldn't receive PS5 patches?
Good times.

I wonder what was causing the long loads before?
Did they uncap the framerates on loading screens? Boost CPU clock during loading maybe

Yeah my brain must have been made a brain fart or something.
Just strange they first did it now tho.i mean the PS4 hardware hasn't changed.

The patch notes say they fixed bugs. So, there probably were bugs in the loading system. But nothing that would block the release back in the day. I'm going to guess they parallelized the decompression somehow.

Seems so. At least we are talking about Sony 1st party studios. I'm impressed!

Until Dawn also got a patch and now has zero load times ?
So does that means devs were lazy or is new tech getting implemented ?

No, the asset archives were not changed at all. The patch installs very fast too.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I have to assume that optimizing games for the PS4 have come a long way in the six years since this game released.

Weird then, I just redownloaded the game so I didnt see how big the update was

So maybe around 2-3 seconds on PS5?
Really surprised that they managed to reduce the load times so much on the PS4 though.

It's a tiny 35 MB or so patch (if your local build was version 1.10). Installs very quickly too.
Nowadays, if you re-download a game, the game comes fully patched.

I think is possible Sony with PS5 has optimized several areas on loading data. I would bet they are decompressing textures on GPU instead of CPU with those patches. The patches are too much small for some kind of compression

You don't even have to watch the video, this is in the second line of the Tweet--which is in the OP.

Or that games are going to get patches that can benefit off the PS5 and its capabilities. This is the dumbest post on gaf today, congrats!
To me it signals that lots of PlayStation 4 games are about to get extra updates that’ll benefit backwards compatibility on the PS5. That being said, I’ve been running an SSD on the PS4 Pro since I got it and it’s amazing on its own that they got it this low so with optimization alone.

Dirty secret of game development: no one really bothers optimizing level loading times. A lot of the code is single- or lightly-threaded, and if it's running on a Jaguar 'CPU', well that's how you get 2 min+ load times.
Of course Cerny had to come along and ruin it. His mythical SSD wasn't going to attain 1-2 sec load times by itself. The devs would rather be doing something more productive with their time, like adding new microtransactions.

Wonderful reading comprehension, as always. You're so worried about every possible positive PlayStation news, you can't slow down enough to actually read before responding.

WTH?! This is SO impressive (and I can't at people trying to give this a bad spotlight). Wonder how they did it, though.

Extremely doubt full has to be advancements in software, compression systems, whatever.
It certainly is impressive stuff. Don't you think so?
