30 seconds...

I could do my hour workout in that time. C'mon Sony...

 

[Mr. F]

Found the boot up sound.

 

[Cidd]

For anyone complaining about 30s. Please cold booth your 360 or Iphone, then time how long that takes lol.

30s is nothing.

 

[Night Angel]

Bitter about what? I just think it's unfair how this board has been lately.

You answered your own question. The bolded word shows you might be too invested in this. Hence, salty/bitter. Like black coffee with gravy.

 

[Goreomedy]

Holy shit. 30 seconds?

Shinobi can post 5 new threads in that time!

 

[PAULINK]

I'm used to long boots, the 360 takes forever, so I generally plan it out, turn it on and go for a bathroom break or something.

 

[MThanded]

Holy shit what a letdown. You have to use electricity to power this thing?

That's what I heard. However, I'm still trying to contact YOSP to find out.

For anyone complaining about 30s. Please cold booth your 360 or Iphone, then time how long that takes lol.

30s is nothing.

What iphone do you have? My 5s takes less than 30.

But still 30 seconds isn't anything.

 

[Lord Error]

Even from standby?

I don't think it really matters. In case of PS3 it seems about the same if you unplug it or if you start from standby.

At least we know suspend mode is coming, as well as that they've finally got around to not including all those instructional and warning title screens before every game.

 

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

it's already been confirmed that PS4 can sleep/wake... it's the SUSPEND A GAME AND RESUME IT FROM SLEEP that isn't there at launch or the 1.5 update...

so why does this article even exist?

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

but the xbox one's boot time is practically instantaneous
what a real disappointment 30 seconds are practically an hour

Spoiler

/s

Spoiler

no but really my laptop takes longer to boot up than 30 seconds, it's a really dinky laptop

 

[v1lla21]

30 seconds? That's more than me in bed.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Holy shit. 30 seconds?

Shinobi can post 5 new threads in that time!

But not enough time to make a sandwich. Why is Sony trying to kill the sandwich industry?

 

[Satchel]

30 seconds a day is 2.5 minutes a week, 130 minutes a year which is over 21 hours over the life cycle I CAN NEVAR GET BACK WATCHING A BOOT UP!!!!

no biggie. They'll both be in low power state with how often I'll be on them.

 

[Bugz]

nitpicking.....30 seconds is really too much? lol

Considering my PC takes 15 seconds to boot, yes.

 

[Minions]

My PC took longer than that to fully boot before I switched to a SSD. Don't see this as an issue. If the OS crashes, then I might see that as an issue as it affects actual use/playing games.

 

[WoolyNinja]

Near the same as every console ever including the PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, Wii U, Xbox One, etc from cold boot, so not very surprising at all.

 

[SmoothBrain]

The real question is - what if it has a SSD instead of the HDD? Someone needs to do some testing on friday. Please.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

Considering my PC takes 15 seconds to boot, yes.

Stick a SSD in it then.

 

[VanWinkle]

I don't think that's right. It has standby, but that doesn't mean it won't have to boot from that.

 

[Night Angel]

Considering my PC takes 15 seconds to boot, yes.

SSD bros? *Raises fist for fist bump

 

[Tripolygon]

PS4 has a standby low power state at launch

PS4 however does not have

Standby save state or hibernate if you wanna call it that. When you put PS4 in low power state, it closes your game.

Get your facts right at least with your faux outrage.

 

[RedAssedApe]

so this is a cold-boot (first time ever), not a boot from the low powered state which everyone will be using?

need clarification on this.

 

[Goreomedy]

But not enough time to make a sandwich. Why is Sony trying to kill the sandwich industry?

It's enough time to assemble a lunchable!

 

[empathe]

Thirty goddamn seconds?? pre-order canceled.
Jesus Christ, this coverage.

 

[Puppet Shadow]

Ya, it is a long time when you're just sitting there waiting. Windows boots up quicker than that for me.

 

[jayu26]

You know I literally use the boot up time to get some food from the kitchen.

 

[Cels]

30 seconds...almost as long as my xbox 360!

 

[Loofy]

i cant even tell if youre serious...so im going to pretend youre not...

Im really not. The suspend and resume function will be one of the biggest things that separates this gen from the last. It'll be bigger than autosave.

 

[Amir0x]

30 seconds does suck though. Things should get better, not worse when you update to a new system

 

[RedAssedApe]

people spoiled by their ssd drives.

 

[salromano]

Yosp on what to do during PS4's boot up: https://twitter.com/yosp/status/400121696667312128

check your twitter mentions

 

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

I don't think that's right. It has standby, but that doesn't mean it won't have to boot from that.

that's why it's called standby though. PS3 doesn't have a *true* standby state like, say, the Vita does when you hit it's power button and then again. the PS4 has a standby mode, and i think whoever wrote the article doesn't realize that, and is confused about the suspend/resume game function that will be missing, and thinks that is referring to there not being a standby mode at launch.

so to clarify:
PS4 will have a standby/wake mode at launch
PS4 will not have a suspend game and resume from standby mode at launch or 1.5

they think that the latter means the former won't be there either.

 

[1cmanny1]

That is quite long tbf, my PC boots up faster than that. Oh well, everything will be revealed in a few more days.

 

[YuShtink]

LOL 30 second boot what is this 1995?

 

[Teletraan1]

I will wait for the summer update to see if the speed increases.

 

[IAmRandom31]

Serious question. Who actually fully turns off their system anyway?

I don't think I have cold booted my system since Bush was in office lol.

I have timed my Windows 7 bootup from splash. It is 64 seconds.

My Ubuntu is 7 seconds.

My IPhone 4S is 36 seconds

And ya know, with all of those, no fucks were given lol.

We are truly starving for info on this system.

 

[disastermouse]

My PC took longer than that to fully boot before I switched to a SSD. Don't see this as an issue. If the OS crashes, then I might see that as an issue as it affects actual use/playing games.

Yep. SSD makes for a crazy fast boot up. Not that I ever power my iMac down...

 

[The Faceless Master]

i am gonna drink so many glasses of water while waiting for my PS4 to boot up

 

[Raymo]

So this is a cold boot that takes 30 seconds? Can't you just put it to sleep and have it come on instantly? I know you can't sleep it during a game, but besides that it should just resume instantly.

What's the big deal?

 

[Mononoke]

30 seconds does suck though. Things should get better, not worse when you update to a new system

Yeah that's how I feel. I mean, I get why people are saying it's not a big deal, and are defending it from harsh criticism. In the grand scheme of things, it's not a deal breaker. But are these same people really going to act like they wouldn't welcome a 15-second boot time? Or something that is substantially faster?

I don't think so. I just hope that once the system is booted up fully, loading of games/apps are more instantaneous.

 

[nogoodnamesleft]

not bad, not great. basically a non issue personally.

 

[fade_]

How many bong hits is 30 seconds?

yeah that's awesome which is why IT IS A PROBLEM PS4 DOES NOT HAVE SUSPEND & RESUME AT LAUNCH

 

[Byakuya769]

30 seconds!?! There's a certain Oculus Rift game I could complete in that timespan...

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

My PC boots in 6 seconds*





*with SSD


But seriously, are you sure PS3 is 20 seconds? Seems a lot faster than that. 30 seems a bit of a pain, but I'm sure I won't notice it if I sit farther from my TV....

 

[CriterionDog]

Jesus, at the people who are outraged at a 30 second boot.

 

[erawsd]

Hmm.. such a different reaction than when the feature was announced. People celebrated and cheered its implementation. Now its "who cares, 30secs is nothing"...

 

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

So this is a cold boot that takes 30 seconds? Can't you just put it to sleep and have it come on instantly? I know you can't sleep it during a game, but besides that it should just resume instantly.

What's the big deal?

EXACTLY.

game informer doesn't realize that the PS4 can go to sleep and wake up without having to be completely shut down like PS3 and then completely cold booted back up. it's going to be like the Vita where you tap the power button and then tap it again and you're right back at the lock screen. like when you tap the power button on your smartphone. it doesn't turn it OFF, it just puts it to sleep, from which it wakes very quickly.

they think that the missing suspend/resume is the standby mode, and it's not. it's the suspend A GAME and resume A GAME function. big difference.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

I always put my pc in Hibernate mode. If suspend works like it sound it shouldn't be expected to cold boot each break. Maybe cold boot once per day. I don't know how much energy is used in suspend thouhg.

 

[Nafai1123]

Just because you can't suspend/resume games doesn't mean you can put the console into sleep mode. As of now I haven't heard anything about that not being a feature at launch.
