Video Comparison: Next gen PlayStation vs PS4 Pro (Spider-Man loads)

Holy shit, that fly through was fast. I'm excited to see how Insomniac can handle that tech.
I looking so forward to shorter loading times too, the Days Gone loading is unbearable.

sad that futuristic racing games don't sell enough to justify that graphics and speed
Not really, look at the pop in and effects lagging in the PS4 Pro version.
the models are the same ... it is loading times, pop in and what is loaded and when it needs to stop to load
I noticed there was less lag but i had a hard time telling the difference between the pop in
I hope these faster loading times work as advertised with stuff other than last gen (current gen as of right now) level games.
Ah my bad I thought they were showing off the graphics mainly. Yeah the loading is obviously better in the next gen version
and if they're sufficiently fast enough, game designers can do new and interesting things with that fact in mind
the developers of Spider-Man and BoTW both have noted that they've had to balance gameplay mechanics against data streaming considerations in the past, ie Spider-Man theoretically could only go -so fast- in his game on PS4 with the world looking and functioning the way it did on that platform, or else the platform couldn't keep up (and BoTW's designers ditched a hookshot mechanic for a similar reason iirc). Now it's easy to envision, say, a Speedster-style game with solid fidelity. Or a GTA game where cars and air vehicles aren't noticably slower than their real-world equivelants, or a Spider-Man game with an outfit that lets you go seriously faster, etc and really my ideas are boilerplate compared to all of the ways developers will take advantage of the ability to load shit faster
That fly through was insane, hopefully no more pop in next gen?
Look at the background while it's lagging on Pro, you can see buildings popping in while it lags
Yes, it stopped to load.
Also if you watch the Spider-Man technical postmortem from GDC, they actually talk about how they developed around it.
Edit: Here's the thread about it:

I don't think it's possible to play anymore at that speed. VR though in this speed? Ready the puke bucket
Say goodbye to pop-in? As we have seen however, with every successive generation we get great technological advancements, but always there are seams revealed eventually. I wonder what the PS5's Achilles heel will be.
They are not making PS Switch...let's throw that idea out the window.
early ps5 hardware running a ps4 game
just a demonstration to show off most likely
I just think about whole new gameplay implementations possible now that loading is near instantaneous. You could have two playable characters at the opposite ends of a huge city and switch seamlessly between them. Or let's say a Superman game where you're literally fighting across the city, or a continent, being punched from city to city.. I dunno, it's pretty freeing and we'll see some neat usages of this from big developers, stuff we can't even imagine right now.
Wow. It would be great if most ps4 games can take advantage of the new tech like this via a boost mode.
I've been wondering about that, it's gonna be a weird couple of years
Thank you for taking the time to share the significance behind faster load times.
