The PS5 and Xbox Series X Will No Longer Have Loading Time And This Is a Major Problem

  • 3 years ago
This is one of the major innovations of the PS5 and the Xbox Series X... There will no longer be any loading time on the monitor...
This is a huge evolution in the world of video games.
The console will be equipped with the latest high-performance SSD, so there will be no waiting time when you launch the game.
If it's good news for gamers, it's not so great for developers.
The loading screens allowed the developers to communicate important information to the player.
Whether its advice on how to play smarter, details in addition to the story, clues, etc.
Developers will have to rethink everything from A to Z.
"Doors in Resident Evil games are a perfect example, you know, now if you include them, they're just an aesthetic choice rather than something that's important to mask loading. But it also does come with caveats.
Where in things like in Fallout 4 and even the Soulsborne games a lot of important hints towards the story and and tips on how to play were displayed during the loading screens, because they're very much in the design of 'Here's the game, just go and play'.
However, if you start any loading, here's some background, here's some lore or here's a tip for how to not suck. Whereas now they won't have that blanket. They're gonna have to think of another way of presenting that information in, which is interesting and not something people are really thinking about at the moment." Ryan Shah, from the Kitatus and Friends Studios for wccftech website.
How will developers transmit this crucial information?
