wow I didn't know quick resume was a thing even from a cold boot. How is that even possible :O

That's why it's reserving that 100GB SSD space. Like hibernate on a PC, the system can be dead off, but the game's active assets are stored on disk for quick resume. No unpacking or reprocessing, just dump the fast SSD assets into RAM.

I remember loading Super Pipeline on C64 and it took 40 mins from a cassette.

Cold resume, the future has arrived.

That was prime 'get your homework done before playing' time. With Next Gen, how will people have time to do their homework?

"Memory"?

Jeez...I had an Atari 800xl with a cassette drive and a friend had a 600xl. We would spend hours typing in code to make games...then at school we would bring copies to give to people. But damn, I remember how long it would take to load a game off of a cassette. A year later I got the Atari 1050 Disk Drive and thought I was in the future.

BTW...I still have and is currently connected my 800xl and 1050 Disk Drive!

It would be nice if you could reserve a part of the memory as a cache for older games stored on a usb harddrive like primocache just to automate the experience a bit for those games.
Probably not a thing in high demand and might be confusing for the average customer though.

Fun video with some fun quotes:

That was a lot faster than any gaming PC that I've ever used to go from not playing a game to playing a game.

I think a lot of people are gonna be replaying their favourites on the new console. This is a totally different experience.

Backwards compatibility was a really good move.

We've only got 9 games installed and we're using - pardon me - 28% of our storage? Is that with the extra 1tb storage stick in it? [Oh Yeah] Wow... and most of these games aren't even next gen games.

I'm impressed - this is a total experience changer.

I love it when channels that have no idea about video games do video game centric content

I'm sure he cares, he games on loaded 3090 PCs. Just having a little fun with the latest toy MS sent him.

To be fair, he's primarily a PC Gamer and PC Tech Enthusiast. In the PC space, you don't have a "resolution mode" or a "performance mode", so him not understanding that that is a thing isn't a huge sin in my eyes.

Damn, I thought I was the only one that had that. Still have a ton of games for it on disk.(I bet most of them won't read anymore though.)

I used to get my mum to do it on the c64 , 9 times out of 10 they were really cral and it would take hours to type that shit up. Must have been several 100 lines of code per page.

He gets plenty of details wrong on the PC side too, it's just not a very detail oriented channel and the videos are often fly by the seat of your pants kinds of things. Entertainment with some interesting topics, but verify your own details kinda thing.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Monster Hunter actually looks better on the Series X than One X.

Auto HDR is amazing for these titles :O

I hate that they cut the video to fucking Linus and the other dude on the couch instead of keeping the focus on the 2 TV's to see the loading in real time. I don't want to see these fucking guys. Show me the goddamn screens.

EDIT: From Final Fantasy to Doom in less than 17 seconds. That's fucking amazing

Auto HDR is legit
Quick resume from cold boot is really impressive
Potentially faster loading than most PCs
Him saying Doom on XSX is now on par with PC is impressive considering there is no patch even
Playing FF in quality mode is 4k 30, he would have needed to put it on performance mode.

 

[Kdad]

<concern>Linus hasn't done a video comparing the PS5 to the PS4.</concern>

<concern>they haven't given him one yet...maybe they're not real</concern>

This is what i have been praying and hoping for since we learned about these next gen consoles. I want all current gen games to be running at PC high/ultra settings out of the box on both next gen consoles.

I play Division 2 every day and I drool over the PC version everytime i see it. Should be easy for Series X to hit PC Ultra settings.

Doom use a dynamic renderer that moves asset quality up and down depending on if you're hitting 60fps, so that's one really cool way for a game to see an automatic upgrade on next gen, as long as it's running 60fps it keeps using the higher tier assets to the point where Linus says it looks like a high end PC version. Wish more games did that, pretty cool.

He played Doom at 8k 60fps HDR on on PC...maybe some hyperbole

 

[dcx4610]

DOOM might visually look as good as the PC but it's all about the frame rate and mouse/keyboard controls.

It's nice to see some games hit 60fps at 4k but high frame rate is still important for some games.

 

[Spukc]

Srsly it loads faster..
is not a system seller when your fucking storage suddenly cost like 270 EUROS

The fucking dangly bit coming out of his black pocket is what annoys me somehow but I also agree with you on the face bit.

I don't think that's it. These kind of thumbnails get the views from kids/tweens. It's all about the dolla baby

Yeah that. Apparently it attracts a lot of people if you constantly use your face on every thumbnail. Emojis seem to work well too.

I hope this planet gets obliterated by a meteor. We deserve it.

Cold resume, the future has arrived.

For the young ones here, imagine an average transfer rate on a datasette of 300 bytes per second ... And we still loved it.

the Forza series does this as well, but I don't know of any other game that does it besides these.
