quick resume is more or less the same concept but with multiple games being up and even if the system is fully off.By quick resume you don't mean resuming from sleep mode?
I've slowly turned from a Nintendo fan into a hater but this was never a feature they had so I don't know why it would be expected.
Switch 2 is the first new console after PS5 and Xbox Series. What "other consoles" are you referring to?
I'm sure Sony would make its version of QR, if it could. Maybe it has to be done on a hardware level which is too late to change in PS5/PS5 Pro.PS5 Pro.
Nor did Sony add anything similar via any updates over the years. It's not like it's a standard feature or something.
TBF there's a game that doesn't sleep on Switch and it probably doesn't in any other console: Dark Souls, and I guess it doesn't for the same reason it doesn't pause, I know because I was curious and made my testsI mean any switch, including 2
Works with all games, but just with the one game you are playing at the moment. When you want to stop playing you put the console to sleep and when you return to it the game is where you left it.
I disagree, specially on a handheld but single title quick resume is good enough for me. Switch has it so I assume Switch 2 does as well.Quick resume is a worthless feature.
Quick resume is a worthless feature.
Sounds like you're down to clown.Quick resume is a worthless feature.
Can the ps5 pro even do it with multiple titles? Isn't this an Xbox thing only?
I HATE this, but it's true. Always online in SP games is gross.Most games are online now, what's the point of quick resume if you just have to close the game and reload it because the servers don't support it.
Oh I forgot, Switch 2 is the PS6 generation, silly me.I meant the consoles after PS5 and Xbox Series.
Doesn't Steam Dock have it?PS5 Pro.

Nintendo fans don't care about anything but Mario and zeldaI'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 possibility of Switch 2 ever having something similar to quick resume is unrealistic? Is it unrealistic from a technical perspective or more to do with Nintendo's vision of the console?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.
Once you do it for awhile and get used to it, you can sniff the updates and installs directly.Now it's sniffing around updates, installs etc.
I think starting a game is a chore today, not long along you plugged and played. Now it's sniffing around updates, installs etc.
Resuming a game is nothing new, I think people left their TVs & consoles on and "resumed" play after a quick bite or whatever all the time.
I agree not having quick resume is unacceptable today.
What is quick resume?
"With Xbox Quick Resume you can suspend several games at once to keep them running in the background, even when the console is turned off. That means when you turn your console back on, or switch to a game you were playing earlier, you can pick up exactly where you left off with no loading or rebooting the game."
Yes it's a very single player feature and one of the best, recovering a game to where you left off is amazing and I feel like they're just scratching the surface on this stuff.
Its not a niche feature.its a niche ass niche feature at best, not having made any sort of difference in favor of the dead series consoles.
It's a legal thing.I'm surprised Switch 2 doesn't feature a quick resume and nobody cares.

Nonsense. On PS4 it costs like about 1W of batterie to keep the whole game there (and we are talking about very power hungry GDDR5). Even 3DS has a suspend / resume feature BTW that is very handy.At the cost of battery life, no thanks. A few seconds more is nothing to many.
Game consoles are not supposed to cook meat or clean floors.Is it okay if I post a thread on the news that Switch 2 won't have a barbecue function? I was preparing for the Dock to be able to cook meat whilst I was playing in handheld mode, but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be true either.
Now if it won't even be able to work as a robo vacuum cleaner I'll seriously blow a fuse.
You are a good example of the sad state of modern gamers and their paltry expectations smh.Game consoles are not supposed to cook meat or clean floors.
Why are you making a fake outrage about Switch not having a sleep mode? It does and so will Switch 2... Did you run out of gas since all the lies about the console were clarified and are needing something to keep you mad? You might be suffering fun Nintendo Derangement Syndrome buddy.Nonsense. On PS4 it costs like about 1W of batterie to keep the whole game there (and we are talking about very power hungry GDDR5). Even 3DS has a suspend / resume feature BTW that is very handy.
As does the Switch 1 as will the Switch 2, what is this nonsens?Nonsense. On PS4 it costs like about 1W of batterie to keep the whole game there (and we are talking about very power hungry GDDR5). Even 3DS has a suspend / resume feature BTW that is very handy.
Most games are online now, what's the point of quick resume if you just have to close the game and reload it because the servers don't support it.
What kind of comparison is that? 1w isn't a big deal for always plug in console but portables it does matter.Nonsense.

Pretty sure this is why the xbox standby is pulling 15watts. I don't think the feature takes full advantage in low power mode at 0.5wattsAre you ok? Microsoft invented a great thing, why don't other manufacturers replicate it to improve game experience on their platforms as well?
What kind of comparison is that? 1w isn't a big deal for always plug in console but portables it does matter.
The point of Quick Resume is that it uses SSD space to take a snapshot of multiple titles. It's not RAM, it's a snapshot of RAM moved to the SSD, so it keeps working even if you turn the power off, unplug the console that has no battery at all, and plug it back in somewhere else. Battery is only needed for "sleep" of keeping the RAM turned on. When RAM loses power it deletes everything.
Not directing this at you specifically but everyone is really confused in this thread about Quick Resume vs. Sleep modes
I don't know the kind of Quick Resume the Switch 2 will use but I assuming it won't be Xbox console level of Quick Resume that is to say while being super quick it will also be consuming higher power.
If the Quick Resume that Switch 2 implements takes time to resume but consume very little wattage, then I can support that.
Because it's convenient and a real next (new) gen feature ?Why would any other system have it?
Doesn't the switch 1 already have this. I hit the power button and hit it again and I am back in my game, instantly? That has been a thing on portables for a long time, since the original DS and PSP, but wasn't in consoles until the ps4/xb1.I'm surprised Switch 2 doesn't feature a quick resume and nobody cares.

Instant access to a few gamesDoesn't the switch 1 already have this. I hit the power button and hit it again and I am back in my game, instantly? That has been a thing on portables for a long time, since the original DS and PSP, but wasn't in consoles until the ps4/xb1.
If you mean like the xbox sx where it can remember a few games gamestates and start back there, then is that really needed? It's cool and all but so many times it winds up crashing the game and it has to restart anyway.
As long as it has the power off -rest mode - > power back on back to game, then that is all i am concerned about, as I use that all the time on the switch (especially at work lol)
i kinda agree its technically impressive when you first try it, but based on your gaming habits it can definitely be pretty useless.Its not a niche feature.
Its part of user experience. Once you get used to it, makes it pretty smooth.
Feels jarring when you start a system that doesn't have it.
Will you call multi tasking in windows a useless feature?
