DF: Grand Theft Auto 5 'Next-Gen' Upgrades Analysis: PS5 vs PS4 vs Maxed-Out PC!

Simple
PC vs PS5 vs Xbox Series = 1 video

However, PC vs PS5 = 1 video
PS5 vs XSX = 1 video
Xbox Series S vs Xbox Series X = 1 video.

Not too hard to work out. Plus we know the PS fanboys are far more vocal than xbox ones are so DF most likely didn't want to put up with screaming fanboys demanding to know why they put the Xbox video up first, and that's not fair because Sony has the marketing rights to GTA.

It's actually just 2 videos.
One comparing the consoles with PC, and them other comparing the consoles and their perfomance.
Alex did the PC video while Tom is capturing footage from the consoles.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
Cool.

I hope you saw that restart from rest mode picture result you asked for in the last post. Hopefully that answered your other question.
Did I really ask for a comparison though?
I just suggested one would be a better comparison.
I do find the comparisons interesting and I like the things being pointed out that I may not know and confirmation on stuff I suspect when it comes to resolution/fps.
But overall I care very little in the grand scheme of things
One performing better then the other isn't gonna make it better or worse for me.
They're just eyebrow risers for me.
I just go "really? that's Interesting.." and continue playing the game.

I like how manabyte tried to discredit the yt videos on loading and even made a video himself not even booting from dashboard. Fucking clown owned himself.

I showed both games loading from the main menu. If you've actually played the game you'd know there's a main menu where you can select "Online" or "Story". I showed the two games loading from that main menu, and the loading is identical. How the fuck is that "owning myself" when i disproved the bullshit claim that the XSX version has a 1 minute load time like that banned source claims?

PS5


XSX


Or I could do a video like the bullshit YouTuber and show a cold boot PS5 boot up with the animated logos and compare that to a quick resume start on XSX. But that's deceptive, which is what those YouTubers are doing.

You didn’t load from dashboard. You also said they were loading the xbox one version. Banned source yet other non banned sources has the same loading times. Stop with the lies.

So you're ignoring the videos showing that both consoles load the game in less than 30 seconds. Got it.
So you won’t make the same videos like the banned source after calling them out as fake because you know it isn’t. Got it, take the L gramps.

Because you claimed the video from the banned source was fake?

And you posted a video from a year ago of the last-gen version running on current-gen consoles as your source for both having identical load times.

Not only that, someone posted a "legit" source that shows the same thing the banned source shows.
The one thing PS5 does do better is that it skips the developer logos so first time boot from dash is faster, but then you have quick resume on Xbox to compensate for that.


So either both sources are lying about PS5 having a shorter initial load time and you don't wanna acknowledge that fact.

These are direct captures from both versions. You don't want to acknowledge that they have identical loading times.

Just do the other videos from cold boot and shut him up?
Doesn't matter. He's a long time troll here. He's on ignore. I don't have capture equipment and have to rely on the system's recording, but I'll load both from the opening logos (not skipping either) and they'll be the same and they don't acknowledge it. They want to use the PS5 skipping logos on a second boot as proof of faster loading, but Quick Resume isn't allowed.

His main account can’t defend him, currently banned atm.

Wanna bet accounts ?

Or you wanna login as franky before replying :messenger_tears_of_joy:

To do a full cold boot video he'd have to completely uninstall the game data so the PS5 acts like a first boot and plays all the logos, where it will be identical to the Series versions.

I never imagined defending canned videos would be the hot topic of the day :messenger_open_mouth:

It's not like it really makes a difference.. the game still loads faster on SX compared to PS5 in almost every other scenario like booting from menu, retrying etc.

I think he, and a few others in this topic, keep insisting on the cold boot without logos because that's the only W they have, see image above for reference.

The warrior-ism is strong and sad.

Nah you don't have to do that. You can just load a different game (or two) and then go back to the one that skips logos. It's like closing out a game in Quick Resume. Either way even with the opening logos they both load identically.

Again people want to use the skipping logos as "proof" of faster loading, but using Quick Resume isn't allowed. If you boot both normally, even with the opening logos, the load times are identical. I'll try to record those tonight but I'll still be called a "fucking clown" and "gramps" from over aggressive trolls who don't want to acknowledge that the two have the same loading times and would rather push a deceptive YouTube video as fact.

If my post about them comparing PC to PS5 because it performed better was edited to prevent console warring what the hell is going on in this thread with all the back & forth about loading times? which isn't even the subject of this thread because Xbox isn't even being compared in the video in the OP.

Because someone posted a viral GIF showing that the XSX has 2X the loading times, when that's false.
 
An open world game running at 60fps with RT and not one word about the almost locked framerate on PS5? So they are going to ignore the framerate when comparing both versions?

Grand Theft Auto 5's 'next-gen' upgrade is the best version yet - but it could have been better
I thought their article was only talking abou the PS5 version? They seem to include the Series versions here too. Sneaky.

The whole discussion is silly anyway. Most players will see the logos once on both systems, Sony players will skip them on subsequent boots because the game is programmed to do that, and Xbox players will resume their session with QR (skipping the entire boot all together). It is what it is.

If you want to compare skipping the logos to QR, one still has to load for ~28 seconds, the other doesn't. But that isn't an accurate comparison of real load times.

Was just talking about the user experience for players playing though this game.

Nobody cares about xbox being able to "swith to another game fast". What am I playing different game every 15 minutes?

It's not about game switching, it's just the way a player resumes a game played on a series console. LOL If I quit playing something and then return to it the next day, I'm going to start the game via QR unless I manually stop that from happening (or the game doesn't support QR). That's the realistic flow.

Not a single person in this topic is talking about that.
Then i don't understand what you people are talking about.
Can't you just start the fucking game and wait 20 seconds? go grab a can of coke of something. It's not even worth discussing

Sure, you can absolutely do that. We all remember making sandwiches waiting for DMC4's 20 minute install on PS3. Let's maintain this same energy in all load time comparisons in future games (y)

You'd have to ask the people having a hemorrhage about Xbox not skipping the dev logos. 🤷‍♂️

Xbox players don't care about that, we only see the start menu once when completing a single player campaign.

Quick resume is allowed if you want to make a point about quick resume time. Simple. The issue is that you called the cold boot load times fake and tried to claim it's the xbox one version when it clearly isn't and asked for a ban of the source. You made up some bullshit about a % count not being visible that clearly isn't there even on the xbox series version. The issue is that you couldn't acknowledge the faster cold boot time so you went into crazy mode.

Without taking this thread even further off topic. The idea that "xbox players only see the start menu once" is a reach, that's even assuming quick resume works flawlessly which it more often than not doesn't.

Like trying to suggest that load times in any game don't actually matter at all because PS players are just putting the game into rest mode. It's unlikely and a lot of people are bound to play other games inbetween or shut down their consoles before completing.

Who would have thought a simple cold boot gif would send xbox fanboys into such a frenzy of bullshit.

QR works flawlessly for me 99% of the time in single player games that support the feature. If that's not the results you are seeing, open a ticket with MS, your console may be broken.

For what it's worth, I power off my console every time I'm finished with it, and I've noticed that users that don't do that seem to experience more anomalies with the OS than I do.

I'm fine. What makes you think I'm not? gaslight much? Nothing wrong with the consoles. The truth is most people will see a loading screen. Switch to online mode or the OS decides to close your suspended game to make space for another game and your quick resume is gone, you will see a loading screen. switch to another game or it decides to close the background app and your PS rest mode is worthless, you will see a loading screen. People will typically see loading screens even if there are methods on both to avoid loading screens. Nobody gives a shit and most people don't play a specific way to avoid loading screens.

A lot of the comparisons of loading time here are inaccurate bullshit anyway by people with an agenda. Adamsapple is here cheerleading trying to discredit one source for being wrong on things even when they are not but uses Open Surprise which has been wrong even more. Has he even looked at some of the comparisons with unpressed alert messages inbetween?

The truth is that these loading screens depend on several factors and people are diverting attention to whatever gets them the win. QR that, rest mode this it's pathetic honestly.

Manabyte was full of the most bullshit here about 'fake videos' and 'xbox one versions', all that silly jazz about trying to get someone banned here because he's triggered by a gif of PS5 cold booting faster. Instead of saying "yeah sorry next gen xbox versions don't have the % count either, my bad" he's now spamming his comparison video which doesn't even load the same place to defend his plastic box.

Here's mine on a stock internal PS5 SSD from the same menu :



Notice it loads into the exact same place as the xsx version he loaded (Micheals house). Notice it's much quicker here on my PS5 than both his XSX and PS5 comparison. Should I be triggered by his 'fake' comparison? Is he using the PS3 version? should we have him banned? People are just being pathetic to claim wins instead of discussing findings.

This is why I have this guy on ignore. The gif is not cold booting faster. It’s skipping the intro logos. I posted two videos of actual cold boots without any logo skips or quick resume but people want to ignore that for reasons.

You're ignoring me but replying and you still haven't addressed the point. Where was the % count up on your XSX video that you were adamant was a sign that it's the next gen version therefore the cold boot gif must have been a fake xbox one comparison? Now you're deflecting towards quick resume for a win as expected. It's ok, go back to fake ignoring me.

Because it’s just as deceptive as using Quick a resume to show no load times. When you compare the two directly without using Quick Resume or skipping the logo, aka a cold boot, the load times are the same and one isn’t 2X as long as the other are some liars are trying to push.
You're not wrong. I don't know why so many people are being so snarky about it.
