As for 3 it could make it more annoying though, no cooldown, just you getting ponded over and over. I know my 6 hour marathon vs Orphan was made slightly easier by getting little breathers [*read wanting to cry*] before being back on the sticks.

Demon's Souls on PS5 transitions without loading screen in under a second
- Thread starter Equanimity
- Start date
It might be counterproductive too! For casual players it will encourage mindlessly repeating the same strategies (read: mash buttons).
But sure, for experienced players it's a godsend. And anything that makes a game more accessible to anyone is great in my book.

I was happy about the news of faster loading (because I hate dying a lot and waiting during loading) ,but you make a good point XD
Care to elaborate why it's not impressive at all? Being able to almost instantly load anywhere, in a 4K game?

For a start it's a PS3 game at heart. Secondly, I'll be expecting this to be the norm on PS5. They've relentlessly talked about how there is no loading screens now.
It's a remake of a PS3 game, the assets are all PS5 assets, not from the PS3.
The scope is PS3 though, the mechanics etc. We saw R&C load a whole different world instantly already as well.
What does it being a REMAKE of a PS3 game have to do with anything? It's a next-gen game now.
Ok you expect it to be norm thus it's not impressive? It's a mighty impressive norm.
There's clearly a transition effect they want to include. Could they zap the player to a new space without that transition for an even faster load than the already super fast sub-1 second load time?
Probably.
But it would be disorientating as fuck and probably look quite cheap
Yeah, that was a real "whoa" moment when I saw the gameplay footage. The loading times have always been my bugbear with these games, especially giving the amount of times you die.
That's like saying Bloodborne and Sekiro are PS3/360 games at heart, because that's when the Soul genre started.
This doesn't really fit with modern gaming.
* The original gave you 10-20 seconds. This was enough time to look at your phone, maybe fire off a quick message, maybe check a sporting score.
* Games like Fall guys give you enough time between rounds to get up, stretch, maybe go to the fridge and get a drink.
* Popular games like red dead redemption 2 gave you ample time between action to read a novel, go for a long bike ride, maybe complete a much better game from start to finish.
This is barely enough time to scratch yourself and it just isn't going to work.

Yeah, WTF?! :D
I remember when I changed my laptop 5400rpm/s harddrive to an M2 SSD, seconds for booting Windows instead of minutes. Good that it's finally coming to consoles also.
And they have some infamously long loading (I remember some 40+ sec load times in Demon's), we know the scope of Soul's games levels, they are usually fairly big and open, that's where the PS3 roots end, loading them with PS5 assets in sub 1 sec is very impressive. I agree R&C is more impressive, but more than 1 thing can be impressive.
It's stuff like Demon's Soul near instant loading that will really aged past gens, not necessarily pretty graphics or stuff like world hopping in R&C, just the instant back on the sticks factor will be extremely jarring when you play older stuff.
I'm finding it incredibly difficult as gen goes on to deal with loading.
Was going to play through outer world's again and saw it load on XSS even though it wasn't made for next gen it was 5 times quicker.
I'm wondering how games like Destiny will be. They still need to drop you into a world. I wonder how much is loading time for console how much for their servers.
This what made me most excited to see in Demon's Souls.... no loading time!!
No loading time going back to level up and return to the level or Upon death!
My mind still can't process this.

Yes why not actually time it properly?
Been PC gaming off SSD for years so happy to that consoles have finally caught up and might actually be better for a bit.

Same, I stopped playing Destiny due to loading and it's pretty much my number 1 complaint for most games I play nowadays.
As for Destiny I think it'll still be slow, incomparision to next gen games, as it also matchmakes and just has a lot of different loading points, but should be significantly faster than current gen for stuff like the Tower, strikes, patrols (Crucible will probably be same, as it as cross-gen play), menus and stuff should be pretty much instant and we shouldn't get stuff like when you freeze with "loading area" like you don't on PC usually, which would just be very nice.
welcome to SSD folks, you're gonna enjoy what we had on PC for years!
(i'm not mocking anyone or anything, i'm legit glad that everyone will be able to experience that now)

You could jab yourself in the ribs with a blunt butter knife as well so you get some of the sensation of what your character would have felt when they died.
When I first watched that I thought they cut that together. Absolute madness.
And the loading screens had no tips or ingame item descriptions either, just staring 55 seconds at 'Bloodborne'.
Tbf this loading screen was always wierd in the tutorial. It connects 2 super short sections, no reason to have a loading screen at all.
Will be interesting to see if they manage to get some actual loading after death to be this short.
sounds like Souls on PC xD

or Jedi Fallen Order without all the squeezing through narrow gaps...

You mean the improved sound design, performance, transition speed and animations?
What was actually "off"?
Small area. From hub to 1-1 it was like minute(s) long, if I rememebr correctly.
Yeah...
Some in gaming community will ALWAYS find something to complain about...

I'm sorry what? How is loading in .86 of a second with a simple transition not impressive?
What kind of magic are you expecting.
It's exactly what I was expecting. As that's what Sony has been saying will happen for months.
Edit: Also I said it wasn't amazing, it is impressive.
I seriously believe that once you get used to this, there's no way of going back to a console with HDD.
is will probably be the same as with PCs. Once you use a SSD for your system, you just can't deal with an HDD anymore.

You do know amazing is also used to described something impressive?
Don't bother..
I asked why it's not impressive and this was the reply to why it's not impressive

This thread reminded me of that Gears 2 review that complained about the game being too good.
Some people just love to wait 10-15 seconds for the game to load, LOL.
Instant loads is the killer next gen feature for me, a game changer. Fighting games will benefit the most of this.
And just think, Demon's Souls was designed around the limitations of slow I/O throughput. The long hallways and corridors essentially act as disguised secondary loading screens to load in and store assets in RAM that will be used when the player turns a corner or enters a new room 15+ seconds later.
Just think of how the entire design layout and environment structure could change in a potential new Souls game when those limitations are removed.

The fog walls were never loading screens, just a barrier to obscure your view of the next area and to wall off different places for PVP invasions.
100 percent, next gen consoles will actually enable one to get better at games faster. Think how many rounds of sfv you could get in on ps5 compared to PS4!!!
