wouldn’t be smart for Sony to pull crunchyroll from xbox because they gain nothing from doing that, and would lose subscribers. I’m sure it’s business as usual, but Sony wants to have control of the industry in North America and other places that have these services
Funimation is owned by sony and they got partnerships with xbox via game pass. Means nothing.
Wew thats almost as fast as quick resume!

No RT on Demon’s Souls Remake on PS5, it is officially confirmed by Gavin Moore, Creative Director and member of SIE Japan Studio.
Seems to be about 10 sec or so without the splash screens included. Not sure that is all that fast tbh. I always assumed those were typically required legally. They did this with KZ too at PS4 launch, and that had ~13 sec between starting it and getting to title screen iirc. The impressive part is the saved game load, but that might be in RAM already for all we know.

Suprised. Maybe it can scale to PS4 then. Either way, it looks fantastic and that is in large part due to lighting so good on BluePoint
Wasn’t reacting to the initial boot up, it was getting from the load screen to game within practically no time at all.
The game started from the beginning so I don’t think it was stored in RAM. If it were indeed stored as a save state ala Quick Resume, then it shall have been dumped into SSD which would make me wonder why they didn’t talk about having it. If they don’t, it’s plausible the games just really load that quick. But that’s still not quick resume as the advantage with QR is it can save anywhere in the game on a hardware level with a specific save state file like you were playing an emulator, unlike just starting really quick through a super fast SSD but only at defined ways the game allows.
But that is while the game was still running, right? Since we saw no main menu. Hopefully next week we find out if PS5 has a QR too. In the PS5 video last week we saw Destruction All Stars being loaded and that was clearly a full boot because it took longer than Spivey here.
I dunno if you can say that since we dunno what kinda approach to QR-type functionality PS5 has. It could be that they had played up to that part, then quit the game to get to Home screen, then went right back into the saved state. In that case, there would be no reason to flush RAM or replace it anything else. I generally don’t trust off screen, anonymous vids like this where the purpose is clearly to show off the loading. I would trust more careful demonstration of it if they posted one though. Like one showing hopping between two different saves perhaps.

We saw the game’s menu screen here in the MM vid.
In that case it’s quite impressive for sure. From main menu that quickly into the saved game is damn nice. For some of the BC games on XSX it was 5 to 10 seconds or longer.
But we can’t compare this with Xbox just yet unfortunately.
So far we’ve only seen BC games and no real Xbox Series games yet like WDL, ACV and so on. A good test will be these Ubi games since they are multiplatform. Or a actual exclusive like The Medium.

PSVR thing is more like a next gen upgrade issue. Games will be playable but like BC without boost to graphics and frame rates.
4 seconds to get onto game from Main Menu.
Damn. This is truly next gen in a way. I really, really hope Xbox can do that in 6-8 seconds and not 10+. 
Weren’t some games in the BC test videos about 5 seconds from main menu to game on XSX? I recall one game loading extremely fast. And that wasn’t even optimized for the system.
Still, I definitely do expect PS5 to have the edge here.
Just hoping it’s a bit less than 2X edge, would much rather it be 50% faster. 
Well have to wait for actual Series X games. Sadly we can’t compare Spidey since it’s a PS4 game but we CAN see the difference once WD Legion and ACV have been released for both systems.

Also, we still don’t know if PS5 has a quick resume option, if it doesn’t I would say XSX has an even bigger edge because that is just going to eliminate boot up times of games altogether. I find it a superb feature. I’m sure next week we’ll find out.
Many people thought the SSD of PS5 couldn’t be that of a crazy big difference but who knows, Spidey certainly is impressive.
I mean, with PS5 loading games /THAT/ fast, Quick Resume is no longer as enticing to me, personally. Although, it’s still neat if it doesn’t require much resources.
