It’ll be interesting to see how much faster TSW 2 loads on the PS5 when the dedicated PS5 version comes out. Currently, TSW 2 loads significantly quicker on Xbox Series X than on the PS5 (without any optimisation). Not sure why this is as whilst the Xbox Series X is faster than the PS5 spec wise, it’s certainly not twice as fast as comparison videos on YT seem to suggest.
That's odd, the SSD on the PS5 is the one part of the console that's superior to the Series X. The SSD is what affects load times, and in some games on PS5 there are simply no loading screens at all. I can understand why it currently loads pretty slow as it's essentially running the unoptimised PS4 version, but I'd still expect it to load quicker than the the Xbox One version running on a Series X, and I'd certainly expect the dedicated PS5 version to load quicker than the Series X version, although not by much. TLDR, it's probably poor optimisation, and I'm not holding my breath that DTG will actually make full use of the power provided by the next gen consoles. They never seem to properly optimise console versions.
Agreed. Anyone remember the DB Br 101 not having proper PZB/LZB lights exclusively on Playstation? It was confirmed that this is due to PS systems loading the game in a slightly different order than PC/XBox. So we already know that differences in how XBox/PS loads up the game exist and the process is probably not properly optimized for Playstation.
Having progressed to the PS5 I have noticed a small reduction in load times for TSW2 compared to the PS4. The main improvement is how much smoother it runs, can’t wait for the PS5 version?
That’s a cool comparison video! I know what you mean on the specs, but the Xbox game does load a lot faster on Xbox than ps5 and Xbox looks better as well on the quality/reflection on the trains. Let’s see what we get in the optimisation as I’m looking forward to seeing the difference between the 3 machines
