Entirely possible there's a new option that only is displayed on PS5s in boost mode.

The Last Of Us Remastered new Patch 1.11 drastically reduce loading times
- Thread starter nolifebr
- Start date
I wonder if there was a caching process on PS3 that was still being done on PS4, which didn't need it. I'd love to read a statement from Naughty Dog about what specifically changed but if it was some legacy issue they overlooked until now, they probably wouldn't want to admit the mistake.
I'm just glad it'll boot quickly next time I want to show someone the game.
What was the patch size? To use Oodle you need to recompress all the textures with it.
Oh yeah, SHIT! And they're all busy making Demon's Souls awesome! DAMMIT!
I read only a few hundred mb - so definitely not that I would think!
Yeah, I'm thinking that it likely did something with CPU size assets decompression. Maybe TLOU PS4 used a single CPU thread for this (being a PS3 port and all) and that changed to 6-8 now? Something along these lines.
They will separate the leaderboards probably. Patch 1.110 and Patch 1.11 runs.
It sounds like they just need to remove loading screens from the timing. On PC it's easier since you can get programs that will detect when the game is loading and automatically pause the timer. I don't know how you'd do it on PS4 without manually counting the loading screens.
It's even a couple seconds faster on SSD, it was fucking crazy how easy it was to gather all the collectibles because you simply don't have to wait for loads
Here's his reaction upon first seeing how fast it loads that section with David
bruh
PS5 version gonna load in the blink of an eye
Video Comparison
That's amazing.
would be great to hear some details on this. The timing almost suggests something they've learned about the PS5's architecture has benefited the way all their games work (obvs purely speculation)
Wow, that is actually crazy. Would love to here what is actually going on here. If they focused on just getting a solid port to PS4. Possibly after working on U4, TLOU2, that they made a lot of improvements to loading and with these patches pre PS5, made those changes here too
Must have got some of that magical loading tech from Sucker Punch.

Impressive speedup but we have to wonder why it took so long before for a remaster of a last gen game. The load times are worse than many many current gen games.
Eh they're not that bad, and the game only loads once unless you restart. Plenty of current gen games involve more looking at loading screens.
if they can patch in SSD's via an update then I guess we really can download RAM from a shady website
Wow, that's nuts. Though I don't remember it taking that long to load before lol.
Ugh.
For Kraken decompression to be in action your assets has to be compressed with Kraken in the first place.
For old titles this means that you have to recompress all the assets first and provide them in a newly compressed format.
Holy shit thats impressive.
Really hope they are going all in on a PS5 patch or remaster of TLoUPII.
Cutscene Models in gameplay
RT GI for Objects Characters (grounding them in the baked lighting)
RT reflections if there is horsepower left
4K60 Mode (4K 30 with RT reflections?)
Improved Load Times
LoD pushed out
and maybe some increased texture resolution for weaker objects/scenes.
really, if we get anything like this, or even close, this year, it alone will make my PS5 worth every cent.

If there are already no load times on the ps4 hdd, I don't see how that's necessary.
Yep and that has likely not happened given the size of the patch.
So, unless the old method was extremely inefficient, which the new one simply fixes, presumably the new method hypothetically may pertain to prioritizing which assets get loaded first and at which minimal level data loaded can the game transition into gameplay with the rest of the data being continually streamed in the background?
It has to be some sort of multithreaded technique that runs on all cores, is more efficient at priority loading and/or even runs on both the CPU and GPU at once.
I don't believe they did not optimize loading at all in the first game. It has got to do with whatever tech they've developed since then. They need to tell us about this.

We may get a remaster launching with MP in a bundle for 69.99 for ps5. Since MP will be sold separately on ps4. If there are going to be an free upgrade it will be a straight forward higher res and frame rate upgrade with all assets untouched.
As I've said it probably has to do something with the number of CPU threads being used during loading. Another possible but less likely scenario is them moving the decompression from CPU to GPU.
At least I can't think of anything else which they could've patched ahead of PS5 launch which would result in such gains on both PS4 and PS5.
