Interesting ‘matter-of-factness’ from yourself there. Prior to this game, I don’t think there was one cross platform game where the PS5 loaded twice as fast as the XSX. In fact, the XSX is often quicker. Feel free to prove me wrong?

But of course, this technical marvel of a game is the first one to do it properly on all systems? Behave yourselves you blind buggers
Hopefully there will be a patch to improve series load times because its def a software issue, on PC with a similar drive it loads in about 9secs.
Much more than 2 secs.
What's your take on PS5 power utilization in this game and overall?
*points camera at screen*
You can't compare different games. If you start to do it, then there are also games in XS that take between 1-6 seconds to load or instantaneous.
'The hard physical limits' only matter when XSX is ahead by a very precise 18% in one of them. That's a well known law.
I’m merely stating that I SERIOUSLY doubt the loading time differences in this game are down to the double speed of the PS5 SSD like a few of you are claiming.
Haha. Well, he’s waiting for it to come out on xbox this year to prove his theory
Yup been saying this all along
Why is this still a discussion. Holy crap.
Yeah maybe. I haven't played them all for sure. Have you played any exclusive PS5 software and seen what they do? Basically instantaneous loading of huge environments? Demon's Souls? Ratchet? Horizon? It surely takes a bit of work to leverage that hardware and it's certainly not going to be a cross device feature. So if you're loading from the SSD and deserializing via the CPU I doubt many third parties are going to give a rats ass to change that.
There is a big difference between optimizing I/O and optimizing graphics performance. It's not the same thing.So almost every other game is not optimized but this game that runs crap on all consoles, but just happens to load 2~3x faster on PS5 is ?

If everything were optimized to the hilt I would expect PS5 to go from startup to playing a game in 2 seconds or so (maybe less), like their first party games, and similar games that take advantage of it's hardware..
Then I would expect XSX to have better visuals with a slightly higher resolution and same framerate, or equal resolution and slightly higher framerate. But either way the XSX has a better GPU so should perform better, not worse.
But that's obviously not the case, and we don't know to what degree things are "optimized." That word also doesn't imply 100% perfect utilization of hardware or most efficient setup. That's the thing. Code is hard, and code is complex. You simply do not understand the magnitude of what these developers are doing, and such simple notions as "it's optimized" have almost no meaning because of that fact. There could be choices in the code that bar the game from running up to a certain standard, and they might not have the time or inclination to rework those areas because it's just not important to them. There is such a thing as "business needs" which often revolve around timelines, getting a product out the door so they can take in revenue and pay salaries etc. It's pretty obvious that frame timing just doesn't fall under those particular needs for them.
The point is we don't know how much this game actually utilizes these consoles because we aren't inside the company. Clearly we can make some guesses and observations based on the performance of this game relative to it's competition, but this idea that you can "optimize" a game and everything runs fast everywhere is beyond ridiculous.
This is actually giving me an idea. I might put together some graphics programming demos and post the source and maybe some video explanations as to how it works. We'll see. Time is very limited (as you can clearly see by all the posting I do here
Funny because I can load ER just as fast as a PS5 with a drive ~half as fast.
CorrectSo almost every other game is not optimized but this game that runs crap on all consoles, but just happens to load 2~3x faster on PS5 is ?
Nope. Until the PS5 gets VRR the XSX version is significantly better. Like night and day better.
No Gen3 drive on PC loads as fast ER as PS5.
It loads around the 6 second mark on my 970 EVO Plus. That's around the load times I've seen reported for the PS5 version.
It would be nice if people just shut the fuck up about it, especially those who hold VRR as the end-all be-all saviour of poor performance.
One console manufacturer ended spending an entire generation asking devs what they want/need for next generation and implement it.
This made me lol. Never looked at it that way, but will now moving forward. Something in this game will be dying in Quality at all times.
They‘ve always been. People memory holed King’s Field when Demon’s Souls came out.
