Wow ur ps4 is slow or somthing mine takes 5secs lol

Neonridr4583d ago

that is a cold startup, not standby. No way your PS4 boots up from a cold start in 5 seconds.

True_Samurai4583d ago (Edited 4583d ago )

Than he should've done a standby on the ps4 to be a fair comparison

neocores4583d ago

Im pertty sure it doesi dont leave my stuff on to allow my bills to rise it takes my ps4 5secs to boot cold i can record a video to prove it to

Neonridr4583d ago

@neocores - I would love to see your PS4 boot up in 5 seconds. Do me a favour, unplug the machine, plug it back in, and then turn it on. That's a cold boot.

Every night when you turn your PS4 off by pressing the power button, the system doesn't actually turn off.

I've seen countless videos of people turning on their machines, never seen it done in 5 seconds.

Maybe you have a special PS4 then if yours can do that. Who knows.

llMurcielagoll4583d ago

Unless he's got an SSD fitted. It can be a lot quicker.

Neonridr4583d ago

very true, an SSD can help. But I would still be surprised to see a cold boot in 5 seconds.

supersonicjerry4583d ago

15-20 seconds tops cold start up for my ps4

Elimin84582d ago

Lol @ xboxone norm startup

wcas4582d ago

Cold start to fully booted on my PS4. Around 10 seconds. Where he gets 29 sec. I don't know but something is not right.

SecondSon4582d ago

Regardless this video is completely biased!

First it makes it look as if PS4 doesn't have a quick boot. Then it wastes so much time scrolling through games on the PS4 where as on the Xbox the game is clicked as soon as the console boots, and lastly it compares the times in a way that makes it looks like the PS4 is slower.

BS gaming news at its best. Rated down.

ZBlacktt4582d ago

And so it begins.... we knew it was coming for the X1 and it's only just starting, lol.

The Xbox in the middle just takes a cat nap.

Neonridr4583d ago

seriously, like what is it thinking about when it's taking that much time to start up, lol...

Riderz13374583d ago

I thought it froze or something...

MysticStrummer4583d ago

"like what is it thinking about when it's taking that much time to start up"

It takes time to upload previously recorded surveillance data.

Jk.

Sort of.

avengers19784583d ago

Loading the video and starting my PS4 at the same time, and my PS4 on about 10 seconds faster.

Prime1574582d ago (Edited 4582d ago )

Where's the PS4 standby? Your disagrees just show that this video was great.

You're right, everyone who disagreed, this video should have had 4 cameras.

It had 3: PS4 cold boot, xbone cold boot, and xbone standby boot.

Again, Where's the PS4 standby?

EDIT: See, it's stuff like this that makes NO sense. If you're going to do the video, DO IT RIGHT. If you're going to show the cold vs standby boots, SHOW BOTH. It's scientific method as I learned it in freaking 5th grade.

Lysander914582d ago

You might want to go back to the 5th grade because that has nothing to do with the scientific method.

wcas4582d ago

Just tested my PS4 from cold start to fully booted around 10 seconds. Really fast in my opinion. Definitely not 29 seconds.lol

Kemistri4582d ago

This is a terrible reflection of how to time a full startup from cold boot to game launch...

The guy has to manually navigate around on both the ps4 and the xbox one to find the game to launch once the systems are on, adding about 5 more seconds to the whole ordeal.

Regardless both systems don't take very long, and I don't see why anyone would complain about these results... even with the excess time added by this guys own fumbling around.

WorldGamer4583d ago (Edited 4583d ago )

Strange that they wouldn't start the PS4 from standby too. I definitely experience a faster boot up. Strange comparison really.

And it's just a link to a raw video. What is this?

sticknstone4583d ago

credit URL to SpawnFirst covering the video's posting

Neonridr4583d ago

PS4 from standby is only a few seconds no?

I'm surprised it takes almost as long for the XB1 to startup from standby as it does the PS4 from a cold boot.

Stick894583d ago

Where is the video of the PS4 coming out of a Standby "Quick" startup?

4583d ago
Neonridr4583d ago

It was too quick to record I guess, lol.

BX814583d ago

Maybe because it's quick? Maybe they wanted to show cold start up the ps4 is fast and the Xbox one takes double that amount of time but not to worry because in stand by it'll load faster. Idk just a thought. Still good time for both systems considering what they're loading.

cyhm31124583d ago

I don't know why people doing this, this will ruin gaming. Just let xbone die.

Gr1mmyshadows4583d ago

Uh you stupid or something? if the XB1 dies then sony has no competition THEN gaming will die

GordonKnight4583d ago

Not True Nintendo will also be around.

MysticStrummer4583d ago

Console gaming went on quite successfully for decades without Sony or MS in the picture. If one of them bows out, someone else will step in.

ThatCanadianGuy5144583d ago

Nope.Someone else will step in and take their place.Literally any other company would be better then MS at this point.

BX814583d ago (Edited 4583d ago )

@ Gordon.... Please tell me you really don't think the balance would remain with MS/Sony vs Nintendo. The gaming industry would not be where it's at today if all 3 weren't here. Sure someone else would step in but none of them can do what's been done so far or else they would be doing it as well.

SecondSon4582d ago

All I know is that MS helped drive the PS3 forward last gen with every software update and for that I am glad they are in the gaming industry.

Let them be just don't support them when they try to pull tricks on their consumers and they will have to do things our way... just like with their DRM 180!

Naughty Dog Was Reportedly Divided On Joel's Controversial Fate During Development Of TLOU Part 2

Naughty Dog was reportedly divided on the controversial fate of Joel in The Last of Us Part 2 during the game's development.

Cacabunga40d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot39d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose40d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE40d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername39d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy40d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde40d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8640d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8640d ago (Edited 40d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300040d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle40d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7740d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
