1 year in, what happened to the PS5 SSD hype?????

[kdslittlebro]

We did.. they called us haters.. but it was pretty obvious it was a scam selling point from Sony

I won’t call it a scam yet, more undelivered promise since we haven’t seen close to the power of the I/O chips. The communication between components should be way more efficient down the line, including with storage

Its benefits will always be subjective as someone can always surmise that the time cut is "nothing special."

Its like if I were to say "Meh, 4k isn't even that much better than 1080P." even though mathematically there's a big difference.

Y’all are really pretending that Sony said all the ssd would do would improve load times? Like…y’all are dead serious?

Provide direct quotes from what Sony said exactly, then we can determine if lies were told

Nah meech is not talking about loading time, persay.

he’s talking about how Cerny described level design growth due to being able to store gigs in memory and load those gigs instantly. Basically using the ssd as makeshift ram.

it’s supposed to fundamentally change how levels were designed. A paradigm shift from what started in the ps3 era.

Check the road to ps5 video with cerny talking to the fake audience

We haven’t seen this yet. Ratchet was arguably this, but it was debated that it could technically be done on a PS4.

PS5 SSD is fast asf from what ive seen... dont get where the hate comes from...

Again with the speed.

Sony never said ANYTHING about graphics/presentation being vastly improved due to the ssd???

 

[Kamikaze Revy]

Ps5 users aren’t getting what they signed up for. Bet most next gen games will still be 4K/30 or 1080/60 even when they stop making games cross gen

4k/60 will be standard unless they throw in Raytracing for the sake of keeping the buzzword alive on consoles.

Direct Quotes please

Im not talking about graphics im just talking loading speeds and menu interface and all of that...

If I recall correctly Sony claimed that the SSD along with the I/O would be fast enough to allow the ps5 to treat the SSD like RAM. It was supposed to eliminate the bottle neck of being limited on how much assets could be stored on the RAM and frees it for other task.

Honestly we haven't seen that translate into better games tho. It's just slightly faster load times compared to series x, but most games seem like they're still being developed with last gen hardware in mind.

They didn't, but some of you guys are exaggerating in this thread, while others are just outright lying. All you gotta do is listen to the Road to PS5 video or read the DF interview, but then that would hurt the narrative y'all trying to spread.

I posted straight up quotes and threads. I have not made up anything

Actually read and understand what I said or go bark up some other tree.
