I've never bought an Xbox console in my life but after seeing those load times I almost regretted getting my PS5.
For all the brehs saying that it isn't that serious, it actually is. They were literally advertising instant load times, being faster than the fastest PC, and actually being 100x faster than PS4.
They even had Tim Sweeney (Owner of Epic Games) singing their praises. I was actually very disappointed by the 7 seconds it took for Miles Morales because that's not "instant" (1-3 seconds) I was promised.
But the fact that GOW takes 41s on PS4 Pro and 35s on PS5 is absolutely disgusting (according to Gamespot).
If the PS5 isn't at least 2 times as fast as the Xbox Series X for next-gen games that will be embarrassing (we will find out on Monday for AC Valhalla and Watchdogs).
You can't be talking about 100x faster performance than ps4 and come out barely faster than Xbox Series X (performs around 3-4x faster than X1X).
I’d bet that the load times are going to be similar. I feel like there would have been reports on it by now.
To an extent I agree with you- they did overhype they SSD because that was the only thing hardware wise they really had a numbers advantage on.
PS5 fanboys will continue to move goalposts with this; that’s all they hyped up at first and now it’s looking like it’s not even that big of an advantage (if one at all).
I get hanging on Sony’s every word because they built that brand loyalty- they have really good gaming systems and games. But the fanboyism in the Arcadium is wild lol.
And this is coming from someone who will scoop a PS5 eventually
