I feel the same. I don't miss the days when one would have a silent contemplation of life after losing to a boss in Demon's Souls on PS3.
My favorite thing about the current gen consoles is not the graphics...

What older games have it? I just recently got a ps5 (after a 1.4 year wait of trying to get one), and only games I know with it is returnal, demon souls, astrobot, gt7, dying light 2, and gta5.
I really like it on gta5 the road and aiming are great. Returnal uses it to amazing effect too. It's definitely a game changer.

You're only saying that because séries x controller doesn't have these functions. Nobody is falling for this act.

how about, stop projecting?
the controller is overrated as hell. the ergonomics aren't good, the buttons feel mushy and the features, while cool, are mostly used in really forgettable or bad ways.
it's only a small handful of games that actually use the triggers in any meaningful way. and the HD Rumble knockoff is completely hit or miss. in some games the vibration is just too weak due to the small motors.
Fanboys are always quick to call others fanboys. meanwhile I'm shitting on Microsoft each day, but that is of course ignored to fit the narrative
I made a whole thread about why one of their biggest games is a piece of pure shit just recently...but clearly I'm just saying this because the Xbox controller doesn't have the features! YOU GOT ME!

Trying to go back to any previous gen all the way to PS1, their perceived loading time had never been this painful to me. Only cartridge in 16 bit era could be called smooth transition.
I do rock PC SSD for several years, but it was nothing like 9th gen console where they use tech such as DirectStorage (I forgot what the PS5 version was called)

Remember when up to a year ago consoles used to have slow-ass mechanical hard disks and in some games you basically needed to ask for a day off at work between loadings? But somehow "loading times weren't a big deal" for the same people?
Now console loyalists of each brand are battling for which console has the situational 2-seconds lead as if their lives depended on it.

The best feature of these consoles is trying to find ways to hide them because of their bad design, between a it's just a stupid black box and the "it was an alien who did it trust me" both are ugly to look at.
We deserve better looking consoles specially for those prices! There I said it!

2160p doesn't even make sense yet, even for the 3090ti.
But they will for sure go the 8k route. 8k tvs get more popular by the day. Bigger number and all.
Series X looks nice IMO. It's like two GameCubes.
PS5 is a weird choice. Especially when the PS4 pro looked so good.

Series X kinda it's ugly unless you see the cool exhaust with the green accent.
Yeah no idea how they went from PS4 - beautiful console to that thing!

I think the biggest change is 60fps on pretty much every new game. That is a game changer for me. I used to be ok with 30 fps until I got XsX. Now I cant stand it. I would also include fps Boost for older games.
Loading is important too, obviously.
The third favorite new thing is auto-HDR.

Loading times on the ps5 are incredible.
Saying that I really love the dual sense, the best controller I have used by a country mile.
I also really like the built-in mic, getting to use it to message friends, search on youtube etc is really something i never thought would be so important. Can't live with out it now, its like a little cherry on the Top

My ranking:
1. FPS (60 and 120= yes).
2. Dualsense
3. Load times
4. FPS Boost
Overall, this gen has me impressed with the sheer refinement of the consoles. A lot of new, actually useable features really makes it stand out thus far. Can't wait to see what performance boosts primitive/mesh shaders brings to gaming.

It will be nice when we see advancements in IO come to PC games like we have on consoles, don't you think?

While graphic updates are always appreciated and the UE5 games will be a treat without question, I think QR has probably been the most impactful feature of the gen so far. After that the load times in general and fps patches and boosts.

I wonder if people finding the loading times around 2s in some games (most games have bad loading yet) amazing played games between 1990 to around 2000.
Most specifically all Nintendo consoles before GameCube or Sega consoles before Saturn.
NES, SNES Mega Drive, N64, etc all have instantâneos loading times or I should say no loading time?
I means seems really great to people that started to play after 2000.

I've spent about 9 years letting him beat me at games now the little fucker shows no restraint beating my ass at everything besides shooters. He pretty much beat 80% of Elden ring while calling me a noob claiming I never beat one hard boss. Lol.

Sure, It will like to erode another second or two here and there.
And they are coming, in fact.
But let's not pretend it's going to be the same order of magnitude as the previous generational jump.

From HDD to SDD? Of course not. Never implied that. But the difference between console and PC loading times right now is a bit more than you give it credit for. Halo Infinite campaign takes almost a minute to load on my PC (from Samsung 980 Pro drive) versus under twenty seconds on my XSX. Of course that isn't going to be the case for all games on XSX as they are not all optimized for Direct Storage and Velocity Architecture like Halo Infinite is. But consoles are still ahead of the game and PCs are playing catch up.

Can't say i really care much. Even today i still install games on my HDD with some few exceptions here and there.
Are you sure there isn't something wrong with your game/pc?
uh, thats weird.

Ok, I just tested it:
I just uploaded it, so the high quality version has yet to process, but I don't think it's relevant for this test.

Yeah, my test was wrong. This is a brand new build and a fresh install of Halo Infinite. I'm guessing the first time takes longer to process some stuff or something, but after seeing both of your posts I tried again and it was about the same.
So......yeah...

If i'm not mistaken, MS games on PC do shader compilation on their first run (or after updates), at least thats how i remember from Forza Horizon 4.Yeah, my test was wrong.

Ugh...I hope that not the case even though it makes perfect t sense. Sony will want to use 8k as a big feature. I have no desire to move on from 4k though. I just can't imagine 8k could be worth it. Can we get some amazing looking 4k games first? Even native 4k is hogging resources. Who knows though if I'll feel the same way 8 years from now. I hate when new games come out now still releasing at 1080p. It's OK if it's in addition to 4k but not when it's the highest it goes. Lots of remasters release this way still. Like square Enix remasters. They are not even with where the industry standard is its pathetic.

It's really crazy that XBSX and PS5 are what, 18+ months old? These things are truly luxury devices. It's really impressive how snappy they are.

I completely agree. After having the Series X I just cannot go back to the PS4 Pro to play. The load times are so long that I just give up. Now I'm waiting for the right opportunity to finally get a PS5. In the meantime I will enjoy the load times, quick resume, and being able to play many games at 60 FPS, all of which are the biggest improvements for me

This is something that I miss when playing PS5. Especially now that you can pin certain games permanently to Quick Resume. Hopefully Sony puts some indicator on the main menu showing which game is suspended like the PS4 does.

Personally, it's all things for me. New games, graphics, load time, unique features, etc. Having a higher overall baseline in hardware specs will move the games industry forward as a whole.
