Gamespot: PlayStation 5 vs Xbox Series X Load Times Comparison


Recommended Posts

  • Tears of the Cows changed the title to Gamespot: PlayStation 5 vs Xbox Series X Load Times Comparison

This might seriously be the worst 24 hours a faction has ever had on SW. Overheating issues despite the console being the size of a city block, first party games flopping left, right, and centre, even worse battery life than the putrid dualshock 4, substantially less internal storage with no internal expandable storage for years, and now the whole reason the console gave up the graphics war has turned out to INCREASE loading times.

 

Like come the fuck on Sony, this place is so boring when the console war is a one console race.

Using old BC games as a benchmark for anything is retarded. Wait until actual next gen multiplats, then I have a feeling you'll be eating those words :reg: 

I never said that newer games would load slower too lmao.. there's no words to eat there.  Series X is faster in BC game loading... which is surprising really.

 

Next gen games will at best load a few seconds faster on PS5.

I dunno why that’s surprising though? It’s in line with both of their strategies. 
 

Sony is focused on new games that take full advantage of the new hardware. Their strength is their first party lineup and big budget exclusives. They’ve said that they’re not interested in compromising PS5 exclusives so that they can work on outdated hardware. 

 

Microsoft’s focused on having their entire library available on every piece of hardware they produce. 

 

the trade off for Sony is that 10 year old games aren’t that impressive on PS5. The trade off for MS is that new games aren’t that impressive on XSX.

You forgot.. Sony blocked external HDDs for cold storage. :D

Series X  seems to generally loads faster for BC titles but I think it differs from game to game. One video shows Witcher 3 loads in 10 secs on PS5 while Series X took 26 secs. 

 

PS5 also have a lot more BC titles running at locked 60fps while Series X runs at higher resolution.

 

Overall I'm happy with how BC turns out on both consoles. Still a pity though how they couldn't get BC to work like on PC.

      Both Series X and PS5 Quality Mode target 4K/30fps. Series X appears to hold at 4K slightly more consistently Series S Quality Mode targets dynamic 1440p/30fps. Usually sticks to 1440p; went as low as 1368p Series S does not use the higher resolution textures and improve anisotropic filtering that Series X / PS5 have in Quality Mode In Performance Mode, PS5 targets 4K Checkboarded, with frequent drops of 1800p Checkboard or lower. Resolution drops/fuzziness are obvious in more intense scenes. Checkerboard resolution also effects HUD so text looks less crips in Performance Mode Performance Mode on PS5 Motion Blur and Depth of Field resolution is lower, making the game often look lower resolution In Performance Mode, Series X does not use a checkboarded resolution Series X does not suffer from any of the image quality deficits to the same degree displayed in the PS5 version in Performance Mode Series X has higher resolution Motion Blur and Depth of Field effects when compared to PS5 Series X generally looks a lot clearer in Performance Mode when compared to PS5 Series X and PS5 hold similar frame rates in Performance Mode, with the Series X having a higher propensity to drop frames in effects heavy scenes Series S scales from 1080p in Performance Mode, and can drop as low as 720p Series S also holds a pretty very consistent 60fps For loading, a load that took 4 seconds on PS5 took about 6 seconds on Series S|X  
       
      probably the most “next gen” game yet.

      wtf  
       
      cows are stuck with 640GBs total on PS5 for the foreseeable future, you will have to constantly delete games and redownload them, and can’t store them and transfer them to the SSD
