quick resume is more or less the same concept but with multiple games being up and even if the system is fully off.
Sony didnt have it at launch with the ps5 (it was added in an update a couple years later iirc)
For all the reasons to be pissed at nintendo, i dont feel like this one of them.

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.

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.

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 tests

Like Game pass this is something I never used on Xbox.

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.

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.

Can the ps5 pro even do it with multiple titles? Isn't this an Xbox thing only?

the PS5 has it's weird card system, which works ok in some games, while others either completely ignore it or just put you in the main menu.
the only system with quick resume is the Xbox... and I don't trust it lol.

I HATE this, but it's true. Always online in SP games is gross.

That's a shame but, since they haven't said otherwise, I think it's to be expected that Nintendo would continue the resume system they're using on the Switch 1. I do hope that one day Sony and Nintendo can somehow implement quick resume that matches the Xbox.
It's a really good feature on Xbox.

Don't have one but looking online, it does for one game and as long as it has battery.

Switch has it. I remember playing BotW, come
home from work, push the power button, system immedistely comes out of sleep mode, click on Zelda, immediately resumes. 5 second process.
If by quick resume you mean multiple games can be in standby at once, then no I don't think it's that important of a feature. What you could do with what I mention above on Switch 1, I'm sure you can do with Switch 2, (prolly even snappier with the extra ram and faster storage). And that's more than good enough.

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.

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?
ReasonBeing

Once you do it for awhile and get used to it, you can sniff the updates and installs directly.
unacceptable? lol.
"sleep/resume last game" covers %90 of its use case.
and even restarting a game barely takes 5 seconds in age of ultra fast ssd.
its a niche ass niche feature, not having made any sort of difference in favor of series consoles.

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?

It's a legal thing.
Studios get deprived of extremely valuable advertising (studio splash screen) when games don't boot up the way that games have always booted up.
If Nintendo did like Xbox and allowed users to bypass game startups the eventual class action suits from studios would destroy Nintendo.
Nintendo knows how important that advertising is to studios.

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.

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.

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.

I don't know about most games, but I use Series S liberally as a Halo box due to Quick Resume. It has only failed to reconnect to the servers and had to be restarted a few times ever. My PC would run the game much better, but it's not that serious for PvE and I can just push a button instead of close anything on my PC and then watch loading screen. Do not use the console for PvP however lol.
But maybe Halo has better reliability because it's Xbox's baby and they really wanted to nail it. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that third party online games have to be restarted 100% of the time, but I wouldn't know.

What kind of comparison is that? 1w isn't a big deal for always plug in console but portables it does matter.

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 0.5watts
So it would be a major battery drain on a handheld + the fact micro SD express might not be in spec for something like this as the XS cards are basically M.2 drives.
Plus it would require Nintendo to bloat the systems OS, Simply too many factors.

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.

Switch has "quick resume" as a description of what its feature does, allowing you to...resume quickly. It does not have "Quick Resume" the official name of the feature on Xbox. Quick Resume technically is making RAM copies to the SSD to enable multiple games to be resumed without using any battery/wall power.
Switch 1/2 doesn't have that. It just has sleep mode. Technically it is faster than Quick Resume. Because it does not have to waste time moving the resume data back and forth between the SSD and the RAM. With sleep, power is consumed to keep the game in RAM, but that means you can only suspend one game.

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.
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)

Instant access to a few games
i kinda agree its technically impressive when you first try it, but based on your gaming habits it can definitely be pretty useless.
like if you are not game hopping much or if you are mostly an online player (which breaks qr) etc.
i bet a good chunk of xbox users would like an option to turn it off, and reclaim whatever gb's of precious ssd space the os allocates to it.
