Why Have Super Long Load Times Made A Comeback This Gen?

[bogey_j]

playing both Jump Force and Anthem this past week has been brutal in this regard. it's worse than PS1-era load times. then there's games like Bloodborne, Witcher 3, FXV, Monster Hunter, Ark on Switch etc. with insanely long load times

I remember load times last-gen being really fast and I assumed they were just gonna get shorter with every new gen

guess not...

games this gen have some of the worst load times I've seen

why not post this in the anthem thread....

It's designed that way to build anticipation

RE2 loads insanely fast and if you are on PC those load times can be cut in half if installed on an SSD drive.

The common denominator in both of these games is EA.

They have unrealistic release dates and schedules which causes devs to rush the product. This is why CD Projekt Red and Rockstar are the only AAA studios right now. They dont give a damn and will release when its ready.

Thread reminds me of when Sony introduced the PS4 and boasted how you could play instantly, showcasing that with Killzone where you went straight to the menu ready to play on booting the game up. Then that remained the only game to do so and every other game had the same ol' regular ass loading times.

You can install a SSD on a PS4.

This was almost a 40 second difference.

Lots of data to move.

Hard drives have hit their peak speed as have other data busses within the hardware.

Expect load times to get longer until some new technology is used.
