Remedy games developer "PS5 SSD May Not Necessarily Translate into Much Quicker Loading Times"

[Leasy]

Sheesh talking about a downer

If games would stay the same in terms of scope and visual quality it’d make loading times be almost unnoticeable and restarting a level could be almost instant [in PS5 games].

However, since more data can be now used there can also be cases where production
might be cheaper and faster when not optimising content, which will lead into having to load much more data, leading back into a situation where you have about the same loading times as today.

One of the main key features of the PS5, according to Lead System Architect Mark Cerny himself, will be the custom designed solid state drive (SSD). In fact, he showcased the PS4 game Marvel's Spider-Man running on PS5 to demonstrate the much quicker loading times on the new system - less than a second in this case, compared to fifteen seconds on the PlayStation 4 Pro.

Speaking with PlayStation Official Magazine (Xmas 2019, issue 169), Remedy Technical Director Mika Vehkala pointed out that it might not be this straightforward if the PS5 games start using much more data.

PS5 SSD May Not Necessarily Translate into Much Quicker Loading Times, Says Remedy Technical Director

I have a 4000mbps m.2, a 2000mbps m.2, and a 500mbps ssd and the 4000mbps loads games about twice as fast as the 500mbps ssd. There are definitely diminishing returns.

Developers always pump as much shyt as they can into their games. Start preparing to return to the 25-30fps slums after enjoying these Pro/One X framerates brehs.

Damn.

TF said Sony had already purchased Remedy.

@Fatboi1 we need you here to explain this turn of events.

Why employees of Sony telling the truth about PS5?

These nikkaz never stop lying and spreading misinformation it’s just sickening ...


First of all the article is from last year

If the PS5’s drive will supposedly load assets just as fast as what we have now with increased data what’s that mean for Larry Series Larry ?

Y’all think Remedy didn’t have a dev kit or at least a clue about how SSDs work just 6 months ago?

According to the reports Sony been had their dev kits available and why would he state that if he didnt know the specs.

Sheesh these dudes are just grasping.

Dev kits tend not to represent the final product, it might have had an SSD but probably not as fast as the PS5's . Plus im sure that those
who knew PS5's final specs were most likely a select few first parties studios . I dont think even the Github leak spoke about the SSD.
