Oh yea. I'm ready to be done with loading all together. You just made me wanna finish LL tho. ✌🏾
For what you get that's not fast. Its not even close to saturating your connection.
I have a 600/600 MB fiber connection and the PSN is fast
I have a dev friend working on a title (very early). And he says the SSD will be the most noticeable difference next-gen. They've changed the entire way games are installed and accessed.
Yeah, SSD was a massive boost for PC's, so I am looking forward to seeing titles made for nextgen systems that use SSD. The biggest problem is that vast majority of games will be across systems, do I don't know how SSD focused you can make stuff. Not long to find out!
We actually don't know that. We only know about similar CPU and GPU. But that's not only what define the "ability" of a console.
Wipeout Omega is 24GB so that should have only taken you about 40seconds. Compared to what your internet speed is, PSN is not fast for you.
I don't have fiber yet (hopefully they will connect me soon) but PSN downloads at about half my connection speed. So I don't know why it isn't saturating anyone's connection. For example Chris has a 600MB/s connection and gets around 100MB/s, me on the other hand have a 250Mb/s connection and max out at 100Mb/s. So even though we both have different speeds and he does get fast speed, it for some reason does not saturate my connection. So if it was capped, I and people like me should saturate our connection, and it doesn't.
Pre-installs will still be a thing for new releases. But yeah that impulse buy seems unlikely to let you jump right in instantly, even if its only downloading your first map. There will possibly be some tricks to mask the background downloading like long mandatory into levels.
Lol I forgot about the slow ass 5400rpm hdd. But then shouldn't it max out slower connections? I've got a 25MB/s connection so shouldn't i be maxing out my connection? Then again i've never seen a PS4 max out any connection.
That would be fantastic going forward. I think most people have played games with either awful initial loads or lengthy loads for death and reload situations. If they can eliminate those types, then it will be amazing.
Right, but on both consoles you can see where the ready to play part is when downloading, some games you can play part of the first level, some games it's just getting into the menus to setup. For basketball you might can do practice games, not sure because it varies by game.
I'm in a rush, so I didn't read the next few thread pages. I did notice this comment. This brings to me an important question. Since the Xbox ecosystem of consoles (Xbox one, Xbox one s, Xbox Digi only, Xbox one x), have recently been communicated that all games in the pipeline will work for them, and be playable for Scarlet. This bodes the question of games that are next-gen, and made for SSD, how will this disrupt this ecosystem? As you have shown , ( along with a certain space game in recent videos on youtube)games made for SSD, suck on HDD. I am very curious, how this impacts Scarlet, and the rest of the ecosystem, and what Microsoft intends to do with or about this issue.
It'll probably work like current gen games on a SSD, they are made to work for HDD but on SSD they will load a bit faster. Data duplication will still be there inflating the size of the games. For Scarlet only games they may be made with a fast SSD in mind and trying to play on a HDD directly may get the effect of assets loading in slowly. If Microsoft is making next gen games also work for current gen games it may have extra data to compensate for the old consoles and slow HDDs.
Aren't these things usually show Megabytes/s while the ISPs measure their plans in Megabits/s?
Yeah, people seem to be mixing up Mb/s vs MB/s. 500Mb/s is about 62MB/s. Then as another poster commented, 2.5" 5400 rpm HDD's are limited to 100MB/s or less writes no matter your connection speed.
