Watch from the 9.5min mark, switching between two games.

Wait, you can load the campaign from there? Damn that is basically quick and resume with those speeds, but you don't waste SDD space.

I don't think it's quite the same thing as quick resume. But again there is no need for PS5 to have it.

Just as I thought months ago, that PS5 doesnt need "multi game quick resume" as it is fast enough to load games without having to do tricks 
And having more than 1-2 games in quick resume doesnt sound like really useful feature anyway, especially when you can load next gen titles so fast that it doesnt matter if it is 5s or 20s
Even PS4 were fast enough (except gta v) to play one game, someone comes online and we change to different game. Limiting factor is my speed to find the god damn disc hiding in wrong case anyway

Probably could have said PS5's version of quick resume. Is interesting there are no prompts for games to be closed between switches though.

I need to say that I read a lot this reasoning here at Neogaf and I feel excluded because I want multi quick resume regardless loading times because I want to quit the games when I want it not depending of a save spot or checkpoint. For me is the key point of quick resume, like video streaming apps as Netflix.Just as I thought months ago, that PS5 doesnt need "multi game quick resume" as it is fast enough to load games without having to do tricks

The ability to jump seamlessly between multiple games, resuming at the exact same point that you left off, is a very nice feature. If the PS5 doesn't have it there is no need to pretend that that the feature has no value.
The PS5 is great. However it would be even better if it had quick resume as capable and flexible as the Series X.

I don't think it needs it at all. Not to say it isn't a nice feature, but it certainly does not need it which is what I was saying.

I agree, that's what I've been saying. Quick resume is handy, but the cards put you into different parts of the game instantly.

Oh really? Did you see the loading times for BC games? Even if playing next gen, do you load in to the exact place you left off, with no need to save? No, you have to save... And you will see splash screens, and you will go to the title.
There is every need for the PS5 to have it if you want the same functionality, because you're not getting it out the box with the PS5.

Yeah not the same, but tbh i'm going to get more out of this system than I ever will with QR.

It's not needed. Activity cards can skip you right to any level you want. PS5 also cold boots games as fast as Series X can switch between some games.

Did you not watch the video? There aren't splash screens or titles. It puts you right into the game where you left off.

You appear to be unable to grasp the premise of quick resume - to jump back to exactly where you left off with no saving required. Activity cards (although neat themselves) do not do that, and reqyjre dev on a per game basis.
Quick resume sounds like a welcome feature to me. I always loved it on the One X when it did it for a single game, but to have multiple? Lovely.

It's not quick resume, the game is cold booting into a specific mission from the card. But it IS quick!

Those cards could be created but realistically would you stop a game in the middle of a race or a fight?
BigLee74

I don't need to watch the video to know its not the same as XSX, and to see the posts claiming the PS5 doesn't need what the XSX has.
I quoted somebody else, not you, querying why they think the PS5 doesn't need it. Simple stuff.
As far as I can see, the PS5 does one game - ie the game currently running. The PS4 had that same functionality, did it not?

It's amazing the amount of bad faith arguing about quick resume here.
Cards are a cool feature and I hope MS implements it, but it's basically shortcuts, it doesn't save your entire game state in the console's memory. All this « we don't need it », « cards are the same » doesn't change the fact that the two features are fundamentally different technically speaking.

yes, i done that. middle mission, race or whatever other scenario. for me personally, it is one of the best console feature to date. and with new generation i want at least to have 2 games in resume mode.

Yes, the PS4 does have that functionality.

Apparently PS5 not only allows you to Quick resume between two games, you can even choose to Jump directly to gaming sections immediately skipping menues and other stuff!
Amazing
let's not put this out there as "PS5 Quick Resume" because its clearly not the same thing..its very quick loading, but its not a universal quick resume feature.
Xbox - game state automatically placed on hold in the background and resumed when launched in a few seconds maybe 8-15..not saving, not checkpoints but the actual game state. live server based games will kick you out obviously.
ps5 - loading into pre-set developer checkpoints using the cards very quckly..not your game state and only works with games that actually have cards, so not all ps5 games and no BC games.
its NOT quick resume. the ps5 doesnt need it then lets not pretend it has it.
they COULD in the future allow you to create your own cards that works as a checkpoint and that could be a way of doing a sort of quick resume.

It's not quick resume but being able to load into game from the dashboard is just *chefs kiss*

Well, it's not quick resume. It's loading into a save point. BUT, the cards do have more flexibility then just a pause/unpause; by allowing to quickly resume parts of a game. Completely different approaches to game accessibility.

Lets not argue semantics, lets call it "Next Gen Quick Resume"

I don't understand why some can't grasp that what the PS5 is doing with the cards is not close to the same thing that Xbox offers with multi-game quick resume. This isn't about loading times, or jumping straight into a challenge/level presented on a card. It is about resuming a game from the exact point you were at without losing your progress/state/place when you switch between multiple games at once. To be able to bounce between my farm on Stardew Valley, a tournament in Forza Horizon 4, looting in Borderlands and experiencing the story of Assassin's Creed Valhalla without quitting each game, waiting for menus/saves and yet still not being exactly where I was, doing exactly what I was doing, is an incredibly useful feature for someone like me who does engage with multiple games at a time.
If it's not something you're interested in, cool. No harm in that, but ignorantly stating PS5 offers the same thing with cards, is just factually wrong.

LoL, at people who say that QR is not needed because PS5 doesn't have. Wait when it will be added to PS5 and it will suddenly become "the most useful thing", "exactly what is needed"
Like with BC - when PS5 did not show it it was not needed, as nobody plays the old games anyway. When PS5 got it - suddenly it became something novel and irreplaceable.

Exactly. You play the game, in the middle of the race or a fighting scene. Need to go - switch and leave. When return - no need to start the race again or start from the nearest checkpoint if any.

You don't know what quick resume is? What you are describing here is not even close to being as awesome and game changing as quick resume for multiple games.
It's not even only about that. It even works if you unplug the console! If you have a power outage or if you bring it to your friend. It's a game changer. Better than faster loading times because it basically eliminates loading times and saves so much time.

You're right. I can imagine multiplayer games running events via these. Generating excitement and focusing user base. E,g recent Halloween specific game modes in Modrn Warefare.

Not quite quick resume.
This is just hot swapping between games.
Notice when he goes back to Astros its the start menu again.
Once Sony lets people make custom Activity cards that can be made mid gameplay then it would/should easily rival Quick Resume.
Im like 90% sure thats something they just havent let people show off yet, because the Activities feature is exactly that.
The SSD is fast enough to use pointers to load you directly into a state.
I know some dont believe in Sonys OS updates but theres no way they haven't looked at Quick Resume and thought to themselves why dont we use the Activities to do the exact same thing?

It's not semantics when it's literally not quick resume (as in resuming a suspended game). It's a completely different thing. A cool thing, but nonetheless.

The only feature though that QR can borrow from the cards - and correct me if I am wrong - is the ability to save multiple states for the same game. Would be nice to have [snaphot] of the game from various places. Can be of use. Maybe.
More likely Past Gen Checkpoint
Ability to load from the checkpoint is certainly novel ROFL.

I don't really need quick resume. Just saving my game and loading it is good enough for me.
