Impressive.

Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart has super-fast load times with players estimating it to be just around 1 second, but this will be even shorter in the final game.

However, this is actually not the optimal load time as per James Stevenson, the community manager at Insomniac Games.

"It'll probably be slightly faster even by the time you play it in June, " replied Stevenson

This ssd was a fraud. Where my pitchfork, i want to talk with Cerny.

It's so nice that we are getting back to SNES loading speeds.

Making me wait 1 second? Insomniac? More like InsomniWACK.

 

[Birdo]

In another ten years, we may see load times as fast as the NES.

He probably isn't working on anything for Sony right now.

 

[Heisenberg007]

He probably isn't working on anything for Sony right now.

99.9% he is working on PSVR2 and PS6 right now.

 

[pasterpl]

I would love some clarity with these loading time stats, is that 1s for the game menu to game, from OS to Game, or the transition between levels?

 

[akaFullmetal]

Not surprising, we were told by Sony they are aiming for 2 second loads, right? Down to 1 second is awesome for such a beautiful game.

 

[Holammer]

Not saying it's slow, but that's just smart design hiding behind-the-scenes asset streaming giving the illusion of fast loading. The days of the player character laboriosly opening a door that'll close after him are gone. The new area started streaming into memory from a hidden hook before she even hit the portal.

1s is not instant

just joking. Looks great so far. But I really hope they didn't include the "feature" just to include it ^^
But especially this scene is more or less a "bad" example for high-speed-loading. Because this is a time-shift and the base-geometry etc is already there ... just in a bit nitpicking mood today ^^

Yes we really need to dig deep here and find something for the narrative. Somebody get us the Armaggedon crew.

you might be sarcastic, but like with SpiderMan MM there was a lot of discrepancies in reported load time numbers as people were looking at different metrics and calling them the same "load times"

 

[retsof624]

One second? Smh. Guess I should make sure my phone is charged so I can wait out the load screens.

 

[PharaoTutAnchAmun]

Yeah and how big and technical impressive where the games then? No need to bring it in...

Not sure what you are talking about, loading a save in Spiderman is like two seconds. These were launch games too, so data management is only going to get better and better. Not much to say either when a game loads that fast, and the real exciting use of the I/O is all about data streaming options during gameplay anyway. Unreal 5 demo and all that...

Save state loading was always going to be the tip of the iceberg. It's unfortunate that lighting rendering obsessed folks like the ones working at Digital Foundry convinced so many people that it was just about that. Oh well, no stopping reality.

Too fast!

 

[ethomaz]

Any game on next-gen consoles that have loading times bigger than 2-3s are not net-gen imo.
The Show for example is a straight up old gen game and several 3rd-party the same.

 

[Kholinar]

I thought the marketing said instant load times, hmmm? Classic marketing codswallop.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

You know who's fault this is!!???? Jim Fucking Ryan!!!!!!!

He's been in the last RE8 stream:

How long does it take that game to load?

 

[ethomaz]

How long does it take that game to load?

To load a match is around 7-8 seconds on PS5.

 

[nerdface]

How long does it take to get into the game from unwrapping the disk to controlling the character?

 

[jroc74]

Honestly, it doesnt need to be any faster. Its already crazy impressive as is.

 

[spyshagg]

How long does it take to get into the game from unwrapping the disk to controlling the character?

How long does it take from clicking the "Download" button on PSN to controlling the character? Are we going to be so daft as to blame your Internet speeds as well as the Bluray read speed? Then lets add the car ride from the game store to your house as well.

Come on.

 

[jroc74]

I thought the marketing said instant load times, hmmm? Classic marketing codswallop.

How long does it take instant noodles, coffee, oatmeal to cook vs traditional times.

With 2, 1 and .8 seconds in different games for different things....I think its living up to the hype.

The real measurement is from clicking "Install" until end of credits.

If PS5 can fill RAM in 2 seconds any game over that is not using PS5's I/O and only the legacy method.

 

[jroc74]

Yup.

Whats wild, and still wild to this day...alot of answers ppl have questions about is in there. Has been since day 1.

When I realized many ppl overlooked Cerny having slides saying RDNA 2 cu's when the crazy ass RDNA 1 fud campaign was going on...I knew not to take some ppl serious. Dismissing everything else that pointed to it being RDNA 2 based...the slides were definite proof and was known since March 18, 2020.

you`re forgetting the CPU side of things. It´s not always just aboute brute loading and unpacking.

 

[Skifi28]

Makes you wonder why third party games don't make use of the SSD this way. Not that it really bothers me, they're still pretty fast, but where's the secret sauce? It's an incredibly fast SSD, you have to try not to take advantage of it.

 

[Snake29]

It was a mistake to acquire Insomniac...
