NBA2k21 Loads faster on Xbox Series X (video)

Can we not make load times a console war argument.

As soon as the SSDs were announced it became a primary battleground

And what does this prove, the ineptitude of the developer? They somehow managed a lower data throughput with a significantly faster SSD-I/O subsystem. Achievement unlocked. Joke aside it's blatantly obvious that they didn't even dare to touch PS5's I/O complex. It's pretty well known at this point that it burns and curses the third party developer who tries to code for it.

Pretty much. Out of nowhere, SSD speed was the new war.

And by the looks of it, PS5's SSD which is more than double the speed of Series S/X (and possibly even more gimped as that thread said its PCE 3.0 or whatever), and it turns out S/X loads faster in all these game tests people are doing the past week more than half the time.

Give it a bit of time, and you'll see the whole PS5 has 5.5 gb/s (or 20+ decompressed)!!! feature disappear. It's week one and it's already shown it's no better than Xbox's 2.4gb/s SSD for games.
 
Agreed.

But Sony really mismanaged their marketing with the SSD to the point of leading people into believing that by default their SSD would be faster.
Sure, exclusives will make better use of the hardware. But if it was really faster hands down, why doesn't it blow the XSX out of the water?

People are reacting out of that expectation set by Sony themselves.
When did Sony's marketing make these claims?
 
we got consoles that load in seconds now!!! that's an achievement and celebration all around that we all should be happy about.


this claiming victory due to a couple of second load time is almost as hilarious as that Ps5 vs XSX call of duty thread where the PS5 is offline using bots and Xbox is online MP.

That can't possibly make more sense based on hardware facts, congratulations..
 
Wow, thread worthy. Trashy cross gen yearly game. If this is the yardstick, then the PS5 is more powerful see Valhalla. How about everyone relax and just go play some games.
 
Its not really a big deal but when you get responses like this from trolls

2.95 seconds to 3.2 seconds

Doubtful any human can discern a difference

Also... it's fucking nba2k. So, it's trash anyhow.


Its hilarious, considering all the driveby shitposting he does
 
Can I just take the time to mention how incredible this game looks?

Remove that circle below the players and it looks like a live broadcast of basketball.

Totally insane :O

Do you understand that the same things can be told about soc performance of xsx.
 
Just something spotted when watching the video. What happening with the PS5 version. The Brookyln name on the basketball court seems to be out of focus and blurry. The series does not have that issue?

I'd be careful making judgements on launch games. That goes for the Series X GPU power, and the PS5's SSD.

We need time, a wide variety of games to be seen (could basketball be easier to load?), and more importantly, more games really working with, and optimized for these systems.

Nonetheless, a shockingly good show for the Series X. Nobody expected this. I welcome faster-than-N64 (check out NBA Courtside) loading wherever I find it.

No you can't writing these things here.
You can writing only for fps drops, resolutions drops and that kind of shit.
 
I think the animation still needs some work, but other than it's absolutely stunning.
NBA Live and 2k have always had terrible animations/physics correlation.

In football and hockey games it looks more natural.

Probably due to basketball games have players standing, strafing and pivoting so much. But the players always have that weird way of moving, but their feet actually glides and warps on the court a half foot here or there.

That will take a lot of effort to perfect IMO. I don't expect next gen sports games to have the best animation in the business.

Threads like this can be a decent place to chat about games.

Pfft, who the fuck am I kidding lol

BTW This ^^^ gif should be the default gif when starting threads like this LOL

As annoying as it is, it drives traffic, so I'm here for the petty "tit for tat" threads just to watch you guys bitch over how one console drops from 120 to 110 frames in a replay animation or how one console boots a game a split second faster like we're measuring at the NFL combine.

I stated a fact. Not a troll.

I own every mainstream console and have since the NES. I'm not a console fanboy warrior like these children on this board.

However, it's absolutely hilarious to see some of these threads. I dropped pure facts. Cited the difference and also the fact that casino basketball 21 is shit.
