For 1 game, I suppose i should of said stir shit up. Not having xbox quick resume is a non-issue. Maybe because my ADHD isn't strong enough to see the point.wait, so it does have quick resume?

Can't you just press the home button and put the console in sleep mode?. The Switch 2 uses pretty fast media too.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!
It doesn't, it has the ability to have one game active in the background.wait, so it does have quick resume?
Having 3 lockers is inferior to having 1 locker. But if your stuff fits in 1 locker you have no need for the superior option.I'm baffled by all the people defending a strictly inferior method.
Yes it does, but:- consumes battery as anyone who owns a Switch would know;
Well, yeah, but most online swich games are match based games. Nobody expects to leave an online Mario Kart race/Smash match/Splatoon match and get back to it as it was yesterday.- doesn't work with online games either, the server will kick you out within a minute;
Well, thing is people are not super bothered by this because they don't swap Swicth games constantly. Happens to me, happens to more people, no need for more regardless of being objectively inferior.- 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.
Why should i, you already did that yourself.....Sorry what's your argument then?
You don't explain why you think the QR system isn't better when it would not consume battery on standby and would allow multiple games to be suspended?
Largerly depends on the developer.Games load fast these days.
You know - I 'wanted' to argue but then I remembered that when I had a PSP Go I used the feature like... 3 times and never bothered again.it's a nice feature, but is quite useless for most gamers
Last I checked phones just swap things in memory and evict them when they run out, so all apps are built for quick-reloads because they're reloading more often than swapping.I do love quick resume on my phone, hard to imagine not having it.
It could ostensibly consume less battery - you wouldn't want to hard-suspend a handheld, the whole point of it is 'instant on' behaviour - if you had to wait 30s for system to boot from hibernation each time it wouldn't be much use.You don't explain why you think the QR system isn't better when it would not consume battery on standby and would allow multiple games to be suspended?
Then proceed to gaslight the industry marketing it as if they were the first to create such a feature.Nintendo is a generation behind, so expect them to discover this feature around 2032.
Largerly depends on the developer.
Went back to RDR2 this week and even on a 7.5GB/s SSD the load times are Bloodborne bad (actually worse - but in the ballpark). Never underestimate the capabilities of great devs to abuse your hardware.
You know - I 'wanted' to argue but then I remembered that when I had a PSP Go I used the feature like... 3 times and never bothered again.
Worse - later CFW unlocked 'arbitrary' number of save-states on all PSP models and I still didn't use it.
Still though - I think on a stationary console I'd be a bit more prone to using it if it was there.
Last I checked phones just swap things in memory and evict them when they run out, so all apps are built for quick-reloads because they're reloading more often than swapping.
I mean from that perspective all Windows devices support 'quick resume' - they'll even automatically swap to harddrive instead of killing apps like phones do. You'll also get crap performance once you start running out of RAM - but hey - it 'works'.
Also unlike the above - XBox/PSP implementations survive reboots, so it's not at all the same thing.
It could ostensibly consume less battery - you wouldn't want to hard-suspend a handheld, the whole point of it is 'instant on' behaviour - if you had to wait 30s for system to boot from hibernation each time it wouldn't be much use.
But yes - saving a game-state off would allow them to power down 'more' of the system in sleep mode, so it could lead to some battery savings.
In terms of visible benefits - multiple games would matter more - but as I said, when I actually had it on a handheld I practically never used it, so I'm not even sure.
PlayStation has it.
Quick Resume barely functions well and I usually have to quit the game and reload it.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!
Quick resume is great WHEN it works. But i heard it often struggles with online games.
Copying it when you switch would require power.it can copy it to internal storage like xbox does which requires no power
Lol what a bitch ass response.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.
Can I still press the power button and quickly resume the game I was previously playing? Honestly, that's all I care about.
Do you have a finger to press said button?
Saving and restoring the state of a session running inside of a hypervisor isn't unique to Windows. It could be implemented on any system that runs an image within a hypervisor. There's really no reason that other consoles couldn't implement a quick resume feature. They would just need enough storage to save a snapshot of the VM state. The process to rehydrate a VM session is a pretty standard part of virtualization.… why? It's a feature unique to Xbox because of how the OS hypervisor virtualization works on it, because of it essentially running a version of Windows. Why would any other system have it?
That's been the entire theme since Switch 2 has been revealed...despite there being several actual legitimate complaints.People love to complain over the most pointless shit.
Quick resume would have been a great feauture to have some generations ago when GAAS where not so mainstream and HDDs took they sweet time to load a game. When SSD can launch a game faster than old gens loading screens, it became just a nice feauture for some users if they play multiple single player games and bounce back and forth between games.
For a portblable system, a sleep mode without closing down the game is good enough. Cuz thats what most ppl will be using.
Although your post might come across as being ever so slightly aggressive.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.
Such a pity there are no Xbox owners to enjoy how good it is.Having a good laugh at the folk knocking Xbox quick resume and saying it's useless.
It's a great feature, especially for those with multiple games on the go at the same time. It's also implemented in such a way that even if you don't know about it as a user, you still likely benefit day to day.
Most of the games I play 100+ hours long so there is no way for jump between multiple games, I mostly focus at one game and finish that move one to next game.It's a great feature, especially for those with multiple games on the go at the same time.

Man, the reactions in here to legitimate criticism from potential customers Nintendo wants money from is something else.
I seriously has, if they don't like it all they have to do is not buy it......they don't need desperately trying to justify it.The mere existence of this fucking console has broken some people mentally tbh. Next week is going to be wild with the meltdowns.
Of course I'm talking about instant access to several last games.I'm confused.
Is OP talking about a bog standard "Stand-by" mode or the Xbox specific Quick Resume? They're very different. Playstation does not have quick resume, they have stand-by for a single app that remains in active memory as long as the device is receiving power.
Quick Resume cache is still there even if you completely unplug the console for an indefinite period, cause it writes the state of the game on storage like Windows's Hibernate mode. It can also hold multiple games in this state, not just one.
I'm assuming you own a flesh light. With that said, how is quick resume not realistic? lolGreat, so you want other systems to have it.

Fair point about the full shutdown since it's not clear yet how long the system will take to cold boot.Having 3 lockers is inferior to having 1 locker. But if your stuff fits in 1 locker you have no need for the superior option.
Yes it does, but:
- Are you suggesting we just power off the entire thing? That gives us having to wait for the cold boot + having to boot up game from some save. The console is desinged for use with sleep.
- Most people have it docked when not in use so battery consuption during sleep is a non issue
- Batter lasts for days upon days in sleep mode with no charge
Well, yeah, but most online swich games are match based games. Nobody expects to leave an online Mario Kart race/Smash match/Splatoon match and get back to it as it was yesterday.

I did say "sorry if that seems aggressive" but my thinking was that it might be better for people to realise how they're coming across, by perhaps being affronted themselves.Although your post might come across as being ever so slightly aggressive.![]()
Of course I'm talking about instant access to several last games.
Switch 2 is the first new console after PS5 and Xbox Series. What "other consoles" are you referring to?I don't think any other console has done that, there was very little reason to expect NS2 to have it.
