OP
OP
Tearaway actually receveid a update. We'll have to wait for some comparasion videos.
Yeah, I noticed it had an update when I put it in a couple of days ago for my son to play.
Helldivers got a patch about a week ago too; I wonder if that was performance-related too.
If Bloodborne gets an undocumented patch in the next few days the hype is going to be through the roof. Do it Sony.
Maybe it was just me, but I loved the Vita version more than the Unfolded. The extra levels, just kinda dragged on.
Yep, don't be a fool by pass on this fantastic game, for real... just play it!
(and honestly? as someone who bought Dreams, I wished MM continued to work on single player games like this too...)
total guess from my ass - Maybe they're patching to replace CPU decompression with GPU decompression which was developed alongside PS5 and made available to the internal teams? It may also help hand off some of that to the PS5 custom silicon for even faster loading - having a fast SSD is good but if you're stuck with eg a single threaded CPU decompression in the middle that can quickly become your critical path and slow things down
I highly doubt. I think just API, system calls and filesystem were greatly optimized.
So, uh I just tried this myself, still had tearaway 1.03 on my console and had very opposite results
1.03 load time to get into the game (it jumps right back into the playthrough) was ca. 54 seconds.
1.04 load time was 1:28 minutes
So yeah, it got longer...
Can upload two clips if anyone cares.
Edit: on second look, the tweet in the OP refers to the very first bootup of a new game, which does go relatively fast. Could be that they improved that loading time but not the others

seems like a cool guy
What 3D butts are we talking about here?
Asking for a friend, obviously.
Someone edited gameplay footage of Until Dawn and sliced out the vast majority of a loading screen, then claimed a new update reduced the loading times as had happened with TLOU Remastered. There was in fact no patch released, and it was found to be fake very quickly, but a lot of users here and even some outlets believed it to be genuine.
Seems likely to me. I can see them wanting load times for the PS Plus Collection games down to basically nothing on PS5. Without these patches, they'd likely be in line with Xbox Series X. That's not a bad thing! I just think Sony really wants to push their SSD advantage.
Could be the new SDK for the PS5 has made them realize that there are PS4 benefits to be seen as well.
Does that mean 'lovely, mighty fine ass, obviously' perchance? Are you mayhaps also a connosieur of the wonderful curvature of the human tochus, like my friend?
Whatever these updates are, if they become more widespread, that is great for the cross gen games like Spider Man and Horizon 2. Sony has something to boast about if they are able to apply it across a lot of the PS4 titles
Eliminating the I/O as a source for a bottleneck can make other bottlenecks more obvious.
Eliminating those other bottlenecks can potentially lead to large improvements.
I never got around to playing that so this gives me great hope. If I can have basically zero load times between my millions of deaths, I'll be more likely to finish!
That's my real hope. My brain adjusted to the frame pacing pretty fast, and 30FPS (while not ideal) doesn't bother me once I get used to it.
But if that loading can be eliminated? Sweet jesus that will make the game so much better.
If anyone hasn't given Tearaway a look yet please please do. It's one of the most charming games I've ever played and, along with Astrobot, represents the best of Sony first party's work in the sphere of gorgeous wonderful worlds that real nail a sense of childlike wonder.
Like, please go play it. Too few people have.

This thread made me realize it's time we get Modnation Racers 2.
I know it's not related to Tearaway/MM, but somehow that's what sprang to mind.

From the point where I was in the game (not a new game, will test it in a while). It was 2:15 from 1.0 to 1:12 after installing 1.04. Will post a video shortly.
Absolutely this.
This game always intrigued me, but I didn't try it until it was out on PS+. It is absolutely worth a buy at full price. So incredibly charming, and so clever and inventive with gameplay. Any time someone downplays or questions adding new features to controllers like gyro, touchpad, etc., my first thought is "you need to play Tearaway". It should make anyone a believer, and makes me desperately want more developers to explore new uses of these features like Media Molecule does.
So are these just SDK changes that need the updated SDK merged into each game's project? I can't imagine they were doing much bespoke code for a port of a Vita game, as much as I love the game.
So it's twice as fast. Huh.
