Pointless comparison imo. Using a current gen game to show how fast it loads on a next gen console serves no purpose.

The games will be more demanding and thus have the same if not longer load times due to trying to get more and more things on screen or the dev's being lazy cause they have such power to use.

Just because the majority of people choose to not use old tech doesn't make it newer. What Sony has here is most likely just a small NVME SSD cache via PCIe. Something that has existed on gaming PCs and laptops via m2 SSDs for a while. Except that proper gaming PCs don't just have a cache but have actually all data on SSD.

I just find it a little bit insulting that they have punished players with long loading times for 2 generations even though appropriate tech was available and now try to sell it as something amazing. They want to say "Look at this cool new tech!", but what they're really saying is "Look, this old tech is finally cheap enough for us!"

Indeed, when I play world of warcraft or star wars: the old republic, PC only game there's no loading times whatsoever. I must have been dreaming when I played wow on my mechanical drive and having minutes+ loading times and the game lagging for several minutes after loading. It never happened.

LOL

The next-gen consoles won't make a big jump, expect 12-16GB of video ram and a gpu about 4x more performance and half of that gpu power will be used for higher resolution.

Edit: Just as I made this post it starting to look like Navi (amd gpu architecture) will be insane, even though I expect PS5 to be 8 Teraflops its performance should land at geforce 1080/2060 or vega 64 and vega 64 has 12TF.

Yep, next-gen games will have no loading times at all, will be great.

So you're saying not using SSDs in a gaming machine is a bad thing? I agree.

Blame the game developer who don't want to push the tech to PC games. PC have been used SSD but none of the games used SSD benevit let alone Nvme . What i have been playing is more of slightly faster loading times on PC. I have not encounter any games that totally rid loading screen except for open world games which is also still have a loading moment.  It's an old tech but it's new for gamer and yeah even for PC gamer. 

I haven't seen anything like that on the PS5 either.

What I have experienced are massively improved loading times on my PC on SSD vs a regular HDD.

No, you were saying that Consoles were holding back pc games loading times, when there's pc only games with loading times. And the PS5 doesn't have a small NAND cache, it has a 1TB NVMe drive that is faster than samsung evo 970 plus/pro.

i jsut hope they offer a decent external storage solution. it is tiring installing and uninstalling games and patches and updates

Theoretically i can stand on the moon
