You know my biggest gripe with that era till the current era (playstation) is always going to be insane amount of load times and yes I do remember it being horrible. It really does need makeover for the modern era just make that bearable.

I've mentioned this before on this site, but as much as I enjoyed the PS, the loading eventually wore me down to the point that I went "all in" on the N64 in spring/summer 98' and sold my PS and games. I had lots of fun with it but the N64 was hitting it's stride, and covered everything nicely until the Dreamcast launched. Funny thing, I'm currently playing Cyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses Online on the PS4, and it has the most atrocious loading/boot-up sequence I can maybe ever remember. Tallying the unskippable boot-up credits and the nonsensical loading sequence, it takes roughly 4 minutes to get from the dashboard to the point that you're playing. In game loading is fast at least.

Which is why people shouldnt make light of the PS5 being able to load things like in 1/10th the time of the PS4.

In a thread here, someone was passing it off as a "meh thats not impressive" thing, but honestly massively reduced loading times is a bigger than than just slightly better looking games (imo), since games already look so darn good.

Quality of life improvement from loading times, shouldnt be underestimated.
