Shifting worlds was done this gen in Titanfall 2 with the time device. Also Quantum Break with time. Among others across different gens. Hell on PSone you could shift worlds in Soul Reaver. Ratchet looked great but the world warping looked like an on rails sequence with little to no control over what was happening, basically a scripted sequence. I don’t see PC or XSX having any trouble running a sequence like that.

I didn’t notice any dimension jumping in Returnal or Deathloop. Just time mechanics and rewind when you die. Nothing various games didn’t do this gen, just now has better graphics. Super Time Force and Superhot come to mind, among others.

Go back and look the example you gave on Soul Reaver.

It was a very simple distortion of polygon and change of color palette. It wasn`t transporting you to a whole different world in less than 1s.

It brought enemies onto the screen, changed the visuals, and the layout of the world you were in. And it happened very fast. Personally I don’t really care if you’re transported to a whole new world if you don’t interact with it. Most of the dimension jumping in the event was on rails and seemed set up to play out that way. Now maybe in the final game you can jump whenever you want and fully explore everything, who knows. 

It was impressive but it was impressive because the PS5 annihilates the PS4 in all specs, not because of the SSD. Considering the context of this thread, it wasn’t a telling reveal for the PS5. I mean, what, in one PS5 game launching who knows when, maybe you’d have a second longer blue transition screen on XSX, maybe it would be just as fast? What a gargantuan difference.
