Demo: XBox Series S Quick Resume

I love how they're only showing current gen games in these examples. Will the X/S launch with any next gen games at all?
 
Thats cool if your games are all digital, I'm an old school physical media guy and its gonna take me longer than six seconds to change discs.

Look mate, just because you want to constantly engage in some strange antagonistic relationship with anyone who likes PlayStation, it doesn't mean other people are vice versa.

My brand loyalty is to whoever gives me great games to play, because I am a video games fan. And that has been Sony for a long time now. Xbox has been horrible at it.

Like I've said elsewhere, instead of moaning at people on here who don't defend everything Xbox does, you should be hauling Xbox executives over the coals for doing such a terrible job of creating games for your favourite console.

Look mate, you made a 100% trolling comment, right above.
Let me refresh your memory:
"Delightful for anyone desperate to play several old games at once."

Remember now?
And its not like you are not a known quantity. Daily you spent time trolling xbox at the "ps5 - xbox analysis" troll thread.
So, may I suggest you man-up for a change and try to contain your trolling to that topic? or is it too much to ask?

They play down this feature because it's not showing on their system. I certainly hope I can switch between my games on my PS5 this way.

I don't think its that just haters. I see people on both sides saying they dont care about load times and quick resume etc.

To me these are next gen features and long overdue and the reason Im putting alot of games on the backburn atm.
Im just glad there coming. Im sure Playstation will have something similar at one point

The point of the post was to once again highlight the lack of new games coming to Xbox consoles, which is the reason I won't be buying one, until -

...ah, you know what? I'm tired. You're weird. This is pointless. I'm sticking you on ignore.

I get what you're saying, we all want to see next gen games, but not sure the devs of those games want a short clip of their game shown when all MS is trying to show is quick resume. We'll see proper game play from new games when the devs decide to release the footage.
 
Seeing Black took me back.

I miss that generation of FPS' like Medal of Honour. A more simple and fun time for the genre.
 
this is pretty impressive actually.

so is it 4 current gen games and 2 next gen games?

either way its very impressive.
 
This is going to be such a nice feature. Even if I'm not playing multiple major games at once, I do play one big main game and other little side ones.
 
Lives up to the name. Certainly a generational difference in the experience. This is also a demo of how fast data loads in general, it's so much faster it'll change how things are made and allow for new stuff. I wonder how much more impressive PS5 is going to be.

no need for standby any more. Quick Resume works when console is powered off

Isn't that effectively standby though? If the system's completely powered off nothing would be working in the background. It needs some electricity to keep those games running in the background.

no because it's equivalent to Windows Hibernate rather than Sleep for the games next gen.
 
I just hope I never have to see a loading screen as I pass through a door again. In game loading is worse than long initial loading. Looking at you Fallout...

The games aren't running in the background; there's just a copy of the memory for the game stored on the HD.

This doesn't require power in standby either like you are suggesting.

Wrong.

It is still unknown that does PS5 have or need feature like this.

There is no reason why PS5 could not do it.

The question was pretty clear, crystal clear in fact:
Does PS5 resume multiple games? If so that's news to me
so, the answer is NOPE, it doesn't resume multiple games.

Nothing of the sorts has ever been announced, mentioned or even hinted, and given that it needs some engineering to do it,
if sony had put the time, they would have at least counter-hinted, since microsoft is tooting this horn since March.

So instead of saying I am wrong, its better to stick to the underlined "there is no reason/who needs it" etc

Does it affect gpu, cpu, or memory performance to have multiple games open versus one?
Click to expand...
they are not open. when you leave a game, a copy of the entire memory is dumped on SSD
so, basically each game switch you see in the video is xbox saving the current entire memory, then loading the entire mem dump of a previous game.
 
Azurro said:
You can't just divide by two and estimate the results like that. Both I/O pipelines are different, so we simply are not able to estimate how much faster loading is going to be.

One thing which is mainly lost to people is that you also have to dumb the ram onto SSD to save the state of the game and then launch another snapshot of different game. So there is no really good way to measure this.

I know the PS4 can do that with one game. Maybe the PS5 can do it with more? I guess once they show us the UI will find out if it does support more than 1 title.

The PS4 can't do that, not this way. Both the PS4 and the Xbox one are able to pause and resume ONE single game, once you go into a different game it will give you a message asking if you're okay with the console closing the previous game you were on. This feature allows you to go into more than 1 game seamlessly without closing any (or at least 1 or more) apps. It is a good feature for both consoles next gen. (Should the PS5 adopt something similar, hopefully)

I don't get the use of quick resume for more than two games. Why would you want to have 5 or more game sessions open?

I'm used to only play one game at a time, but I can see how people might want to play two (one MP and one SP, for example), but more?

Do many people actually do that?
