>SSD WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING AND REVOLUTIONISE GAMING AS WE KNOW IT
What am I missing here? My PC has SSD for over 10 years now and I didn't see any amazing changes. Why does it suddenly matter when consoles do it? Speaking of consoles the Switch also doesn't have a harddrive that needs to spin so isn't that already like playing games from SSD???
They are using newer nvme ssd drives which are faster than your ssd
The SSD it's not a deal OP the i/o interface is, this motherfuckers avoided usage of cpu for data transport, and that's something that pc gaming won't achieve unless intel/amd force them
Besides it's changing game design by a lot, for example in games which are trying to convince you that they don't have loading screens they doing some tricks like elevator closed room etc.
Spiderman for ps4 was used as a example they did swing whole city in 4 seconds without loading and render distance was huge
It's the architecture built specifically around the usage of the SSD in these new consoles that PC gaming does not yet have because every game would need to be optimized for SSDs and not every PC gamer has those. With consoles the hardware is uniform. That's why game developers will be able to take full advantage of everything it has to offer.
dude. just loading screens, but 2 seconds shorter. dude
Yeah, people talk about how every update to Modern Warfare adds 30 gigabytes of data onto the game. It's possibly because the same assets needs to be on the disk multiple times for the hardware to be able to access them fast enough.
So maybe, the next generation will decrease the file size of the average game.
no?
i'm sorry but don't those exist for pc now with all the chipsets from at least 2ish years ago?
This all just feels like another DX12
>devs will be able to do this!
>devs will be able to do that!
>devs don't really do anything different and everything is more or less the same as always
Yes and they will never be used as GPU which is why Sony is full of shit, you can't use a storage unit as substitute for lack of raw hardware power.
Do you guys think developers like Ubisoft give a shit about muh teraflops and muh ssd? Nobody is going to waste money, time and resources trying to optizime games for these consoles. They will pull the same unoptimized shit as always, its less work for them, games will be even less optimized because more powerful consoles will move them anyways.
All this shit only means we are getting worse PC ports
Do you honestly believe the people who are paid by Sony to design the Playstation 5 DIDN'T think of that, but you are smarter than all of them?
Do you really think that?
They just found it now. You know they are tech illiterates
Please compare launch titles of any 3D console generation to their closing games and note how vastly different they are in technology and performance.
It's not about "when consoles do it." Look at Microsoft, they never hyped the SSD because they know it's not a big deal. Sony is hyping it just because they have nothing going on for them this gen.
They lied much worse in the past.
Remember when Sony said they didn't need a GPU in the PS3 and then they had to shove the RSX at the last minute?
As long as it scams enough people to gain a headstart over Microsoft, anything goes.
Media is clearly biased pro-Sony, it's in their interest.
Still using HDD here because I don't have ADHD
It will make a fair bit of diffrent since now you can stream content off of drives much more reliably, making open world games with high amounts of detail a much more smooth expereance.
That said, its not going to be a revolutionary improvment by any means like Sony is trying to sell it as, just yet another incramental one.
Shit thread senpai

yes? cope?
>825gb
Next gens gonna blow
>and I didn't see any amazing changes
'cause you bought fucking cheap ass Sandisk instead of paying a bit more for the superior Samsung drives
He really does think that, most smelly schizos on Zig Forums are actually retarded and overestimate their intelligence all the time
My PC has SSD for over 10 years now and I didn't see any amazing changes
because games are not designed for SSD you dummy, too many PC poorfags still use HDD
The new game would force those poorfags to get SSD, which is cheaper right now. Less than $30 for 128 GB SSD
You two are the same marketers in the FFVII threads.
All these games with stupid large sizes are just made this way to make pirating more difficult. Titanfall had most of it's game size as uncompressed audio files. It cuts down a small amount of piracy and still fits onto the discs so they have very little to lose.
>Why does it suddenly matter when consoles do it?
Because now they will make games for SSD not HDD
But the SSD in my PC is NVMe
>Because now they will make games for SSD not HDD
Can you explain in your own words exactly what you think this means?
>My PC has SSD for over 10 years now and I didn't see any amazing changes.
it doesn't increase your FPS or make your game look better but it 100% makes a massive difference
play something like skyrim on ssd then play it on HDD
This dumb meme again
Is anybody who disagrees with you a paid shill?
Are you that autistic?
>The new game would force those poorfags to get SSD
I doubt that since all Multi platform games are designed for the most popular low end hardware so most people can run it on their machines.
No loading screens
yeah, new SSD for PC is already faster than PS5's SSD.
yeah, the new games will utilize the speed of SSD, meaning PC will get that advantage PS5 has.
