Yes but with some differences. You can jump not only into games where you left off but online lobbies as well. You can also manually create save points and share them with friends so they can pickup exactly where you left off. You can use PIP to watch your friend's stream of them playing while you play. You can pickup your suspended play on a mobile device. Speed wise it should be on par with quick resume but like quick resume it will depend on the complexity of the games you have in a suspended state and network connection.
This is the person posting the videos of PS5
I think even for software it's unlikely that there is feature parity, because that ultimately assumes that...
Would be very cool!
I dont know xbox, but ps4 had this for years... even the psvita. You just pause and go to sleep mode whenever you want.
*Afaik. Strange that sony literally would never mentioned at all days before launch when the competition is using said feature and a selling point
What do you mean by this? The PS4 has sleep mode so why wouldn't PS5 have it?
Yeah, strange that we have a feature that is confirmed to be part of the PS5 UI (Switcher) that they haven't talked about yet.
It's about being able to pause at any point. Even though games load super fast, devs don't allow you to save anywhere/anytime.
I think it's about pausing at any point.
Of course more is better. But even having 2-3 games would be pretty damn good.
That would be great but also very hard to implement/not compatible with all games. Dumping your RAM to an SSD is one thing but loading it while also having to take into account actions you did in other save states of the same game... yeah that seems near impossible to do system-wide.
One game, hardly representative of all games loading times. Quick resume is faster and puts right back where you left off, it's no comparison.
Well now that I think about it, it could actually work if some activities had a 'resume to main state' option. Basically there is a main branch like the campaign in Sackboy and you can jump at any time to some smaller activities like collecting the hat in that particular level and at anytime you can resume to the main branch and there would be game-specific metadata shared between different states to let the main branch know what was the outcome of the activity, like unlocking a new object.
The embargo should be lifted this Friday hopefully so one week before the official release
It's a standard resume feature for multiple games. IDK. I don't hop between multiple games generally (outside of fighting games, which the feature is nearly useless for), and I typically call it quits at save points even with resume. The feature wouldn't make a difference for someone like me.
Ah yes, it's the Xbox that's Tues, and the PS5 Thu. Still, it's weird. I remember knowing so much more about PS2/Xbox, PS3/360, PS4/XBOne before their respective launches, not just a week before. Heck, for most of them there were even demo pods in shops weeks before launch.
It must have it surely. PS4 has it, albeit for one game at a time ( so long as that game isn't made by FROM or it'll send you back to the menu screen before it reconnects to the servers), taking you right back to where you left off.
Yea but this time things are different due to Corona. i even believe things were not ready at one time like the software And that's why Microsoft first sent a dummy box then they allowed only showing the box till finally the OS, similar to what they did to Surface Duo where they didn't allow the press to show the OS till they updated it later.
