Switch still does that, but with just one game.Wow, I would have thought it would be a standard feature now. There's nothing better than picking up exactly where you last left off.

You mean switch 2? And which game?Switch still does that, but with just one game.
It has quick resume he seems to be talking about Xboxes resume which saves multiple resume slots. Both the switch and switch 2 has quick resume that keeps where you left off in the last game you played.Wow, I would have thought it would be a standard feature now. There's nothing better than picking up exactly where you last left off.
I mean any switch, including 2You mean switch 2? And which game?
The Switch has had single title quick resume since launch lol. OP is asking about the multi title implementation which is exclusive to Windows. He's an idiot who doesn't seem to get it even after it being explained to him.
This is toxic bullshit. Stop being a cunt. Sorry if that seems aggressive or unkind. But just try to be nicer. No need to make your purpose in life to be aggressively correct.
The lack of developer to-the-metal on Series API makes it an easier feature to implement on series - with less risk of security holes for hacking and less risk of harder to replicate bugs.I'm surprised Switch 2 doesn't feature a quick resume and nobody cares.
I expected it to become a default option on all new consoles. Even Series S has it!
The Switch is capable of opening the eshop while suspending your game, this was possible from day 1.If the Switch 2 allows the game to actually run in the background while I open the eShop, which the first Switch can't do, that's a huge win for me. Was the PS3 the last one that forced you to fully close a game for basic functions?
Are you sure about that ?
I'm confused. No, not online. But normally openning the eshop and buying games etc. I'm sure some settings require closing the game.The Switch is capable of opening the eshop while suspending your game, this was possible from day 1.
Or do you actually mean that the game keeps running so you won't be disconnected while playing online?
If that's the case it would be nice but i believe it would be difficult, when i go to the home menu on my ps5 while playing TFD or Monster hunter wilds i'm always disconnected when resuming gameplay after a few minutes.
yeah, I mention this a little later in the post. In windows PC terms it's like sleep and not hibernate.No, ram is kept powered - that's why it eats 'some' battery compared to powering it off.
Saving state has to save entire device state which is 12GB on a Switch 2. Meaning Series S is a good analogy for how that would perform (likely worse since storage is a bit slower).
it can copy it to internal storage like xbox does which requires no powerDoesn't Switch just save state of the game you're playing when it sleeps? Quick resume would needlessly keep copying data and drain battery when nobody really needs it. If I'm switching between games I just save and exit.
Edit:
It would require it to copy data. Even the current version of keeping low power RAM on to keep the state of the single game uses battery but this is less than constantly copying data.
Not as far i'm aware, when you press the home button your game will be suspended.I'm confused. No, not online. But normally openning the eshop and buying games etc. I'm sure some settings require closing the game.
I got to check that cause you made me doubt it. And.... *drum rolls*.... you can access the eShop while in a game.I'm confused. No, not online. But normally openning the eshop and buying games etc. I'm sure some settings require closing the game.
Who are these people ?I'm baffled by all the people defending a strictly inferior method.
The whole minute? Wow, don't know how people survive this. Well, if you are switching games every 3 minutes it could be tough nglyou're going to be watching a minute of logos
I'm baffled by all the people defending a strictly inferior method. Current Switch sleep mode:
- consumes battery as anyone who owns a Switch would know;
- doesn't work with online games either, the server will kick you out within a minute;
- obviously is limited to a single game or application. So you're going to be watching a minute of logos and going back not exactly where you were when you swap games.
The only vaguely relevant argument is that each snapshot takes around 10GB, but they could always limit it to two and it wouldn't be a big issue.
I have a theory why some are so vehemently against it but I won't take a guess.
Playstation 5 doesn't feature Quick ResumeI'm surprised Switch 2 doesn't feature a quick resume and nobody cares.
I expected it to become a default option on all new consoles. Even Series S has it!
Why do we need shorter load times then? Why use resume at all and not do a full power cycle? It's more convenient and that's why it's better, not sure what the argument is.The whole minute? Wow, don't know how people survive this. Well, if you are switching games every 3 minutes it could be tough ngl
See above and all over the first page.Who are these people ?
And so does standard sleep mode so I don't see the argument here. Either way the server isn't going to keep you connected. Handheld games are also more likely to properly take into account the switch from online to offline.Xbox resumes doesn't work with online games. They reset as soon as you resume or kick you offline.
There is a very vocal online minority that has been pirating and emulating Nintendo systems since the DS days. They haven't actually been meaningfully invested in Nintendo platforms for decades at this point. But they want to play Zelda/Pokemon or whatever. Nintendo going after Yuzu was what set most of them off, as they have been using anything even remotely bad Nintendo does as an excuse to pirate. See the YouTuber Jim Sterling as an example of such person.The internet's obsession with trying to spread FUD about Switch 2 is something else
You did however make a post about this very strange fantasy of yours.Great, so you want other systems to have it.
I want every device I own to blow me. It won't happen because it's not realistic, I don't come to GAF to make a thread about it.
In large nobody cares about quick resume, it's a nice feature, but is quite useless for most gamers who play online and have to reprocess the connection anyway, consoles are plenty fast for a quick boot, the Switch 2 already have a smaller SSD, losing space for this feature is not worth it. The same goes to people who own the 512Gb Series S, you lose 148Gb for the OS and features like this.I'm surprised Switch 2 doesn't feature a quick resume and nobody cares.
I expected it to become a default option on all new consoles. Even Series S has it!
I stand corrected then. I genuinely thought you couldn't do that. It's even more embarrassing given how much time I've spent playing on my Switch.I got to check that cause you made me doubt it. And.... *drum rolls*.... you can access the eShop while in a game.
The Switch has had single title quick resume since launch lol. OP is asking about the multi title implementation which is exclusive to Windows. He's an idiot who doesn't seem to get it even after it being explained to him.
That's a bit unnecessary. You may have explained why MS has it but you wrapped it in rudeness and condescension, prompting another reply to which you were even more rude and condescending to.
OP simply likes a feature and is misinformed about how it works, no need to be a prick about it.
This is toxic bullshit. Stop being a cunt. Sorry if that seems aggressive or unkind. But just try to be nicer. No need to make your purpose in life to be aggressively correct.
I meant the consoles after PS5 and Xbox Series.Playstation 5 doesn't feature Quick Resume
This is Nintendo we are talking about, "letting players do X" is anathema to them.They could let players on/off it.
Why are you soYou guys aren't wrong, but OP is an intentionally disingenuous ass in almost every other post he makes, so no one cares.
Why are you sotoxic? My comments are always full of common sense!
Yeah we all know, that's comes with having a battery just use the dock.I'm baffled by all the people defending a strictly inferior method. Current Switch sleep mode:
- consumes battery as anyone who owns a Switch would know;
This is the same on PS5, Xbox, PC and every handheld device out there.- doesn't work with online games either, the server will kick you out within a minute;
Again, apart from Xbox the same for every other device.- obviously is limited to a single game or application. So you're going to be watching a minute of logos and going back not exactly where you were when you swap games.
That's not vague just the truth.The only vaguely relevant argument is that each snapshot takes around 10GB, but they could always limit it to two and it wouldn't be a big issue.
Sometimes it's better to not say anything if you don't have anything worthwhile to say so smart decision.I have a theory why some are so vehemently against it but I won't take a guess.
Quick resume is a worthless feature.
Oh, sorry, I mistakenly thought you meant my comments, not that rude girl.See what I mean about intentionally disingenuous? He just leaves out common sense on purpose as a gaslighting tactic.
But you raise a good question, cause I had the same discussion several years ago about that, someone was saying "it's a shame you can't even do X withouth quitting a game" and it was true, at least back then, so now I wonder if it was acessing the eShop while in a game and they corrected it since.I stand corrected then. I genuinely thought you couldn't do that. It's even more embarrassing given how much time I've spent playing on my Switch.
Oh, sorry, I mistakenly thought you meant my comments, not that rude girl.
Absolutely useless feature, even the most hardcore fanboys forgot about it long ago, and I bet 99% of them didn't even it use in the first place
Sorry what's your argument then?Yeah we all know, that's comes with having a battery just use the dock.
This is the same on PS5, Xbox, PC and every handheld device out there.
See if you can come up with a solution to this it probably would make you rich.
Again, apart from Xbox the same for every other device.

Great, so you want other systems to have it.

wait, so it does have quick resume?Some people just want to make shit up about the switch 2.
Not when there are unskippable useless logos at boot up, I hate that.Games load fast these days.
