12 whole seconds!!! How much spare time do those lot think us busy people have!
Oh, wait....

 

[Topfuel]

Sure but What we have seen on ps5 are average of 2.5 second

We have seen Outer Worlds on Ps5 loading time? Link?

Microsoft

Sony

 

[mckmas8808]

Maybe it is pretty representative for a current-gen game?

Why is MS showcases load times for a current-gen game anyway? Why not show off the load times for "The Medium" or "Scorn"?

 

[Alebrije]

Well that is what a new console is suposse to do....specially being the firsth ssd generation

 

[kuncol02]

What? Spiderman is a last gen game. They are talking about the 2019 load demo.

Which was written from scratch using only assets from PS4 Spiderman. And more importantly it was techdemo not a game.

 

[Bernkastel]

You do realise that they optimized Spiderman for PS5, not to mention it was there best first party example from last gen. MS took the worst offenders, State of Decay 2 and Outer Worlds and showed it without any optimization for Series S/X. Why dont they show how Days Gone loads in PS5?

 

[acm2000]

12 seconds to boot current gen title in backwards compatibility mode compared to nearly a minute? not bad, a solid improvement.

 

[Stuart360]

Why wouldn't they lead with Xbox Series X in this demo? Is Microsoft REALLY going to make the Series S their lead console (in marketing)?

Probably because they were comparing the S against the S, but i'm sure you already knew that.

Source? Honest question.

lmao right they can't even play it

 

[Bergoglio]

Not as relevant as a game with more powerful graphical features like particels, res, frame, world building, texture etc. When I have reduced loading times I'm ok. 2/3 seconds less makes no difference.

 

[jshackles]

Meanwhile, that same video showed various games launching from scratch and from their quick resume feature which only took about 2-3 seconds each before they were able to start playing. The Outer Worlds gets some guff because it's loading times (especially on console) were Morrowind-level bad. 12 second load times on the XsS is faster than they were on my PC when I played it last year.

 

[Stuart360]

So probably about 5 or 6 seconds for PS5. At least we can tick off another bit of marketing schpeel with the 'zero load times' crap.
Having said that, going from 1-2min loading, down to around the 10 second mark, is a massive improvement, reardless of what anyone says.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

OP, you're delusional if you think Outer Worlds will load within 2.5 seconds on the PS5.

 

[kuncol02]

Source? Honest question.

They talked abut that when they were showing it first time. AFAIR that taken them 2 weeks or something like that.
There is no chance for current games to load that fast without rewriting of loot of stuff in them anyway.

 

[xiseerht]

So reading the comments here . Somehow going from 53 seconds to 12 seconds is some how not good enough and slow. I swear , MS can't please anyone here. .

 

[freefornow]

Do we have video of Spiderman loading from menu screen on PS5?

 

[TBiddy]

The entire idea is to compare with current-gen. Kinda hard to do that with a next-gen game.

 

[pasterpl]

Sure but What we have seen on ps5 are average of 2.5 second

wait, have we actually seen bc games load comparison from menu to game on ps5 vs PS4, can you please provide a link as I am not aware of these?

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Yes, going from 53 to 12 seconds is bad, but potentially going from 12 seconds to 7 seconds (PS5's theoretical performance level) is next-gen mindblowing.

 

[Thirty7ven]

12 seconds to fill ~7GB of RAM?

 

[AlexxKidd]

12 seconds? I'd be knee deep into Kena: Bridge of Spirits on PS5 by the time that eternity comes and goes. You snooze you lose.

 

[RoadHazard]

That seems really slow. Far from the almost instant loads I would expect. Seems like maybe the Xbox IO architecture has more bottlenecks than just the slower SSD vs the PS5.

 

[MarkMe2525]

So today just now this was revealed by MS :

That's not so bad . I expected a bit faster especially since its a last gen game but much better than before for sure.

Shouldn't the title just include series s? They did not demonstrate this loading on the XSX or am I missing something?

 

[Hendrick's]

I laugh when crazy Sony fans tell me that waiting an extra few seconds is somehow a big deal. SSD madness has infected their brains.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Not impressed at all, reflects the same problem with NVMe on PC that can barely get faster that old SATA3 SSD's.
