PS5 Leaked Cold Boot Video Shows Impressively Fast Load Time

Sony has yet to show the official UI for the PlayStation 5, but a leaked video has shown PS5 starting from a cold boot and it is impressively fast.

[rlow1]

Not bad, I like the sparks flying around towards the end of the sequence.

[lukasmain]

It's from an OLD dev kit. Totally unoptimized

[smashman98]

What are you basing this off? Not being confrontational just genuinely curious

[RpgSama]

I don't know if it's real, but I'm more interested about how fast it turns on from sleep mode, I RARELY turn my ps4 completely off, so going from cold while nice to know it's not something terribly important to me, 95% of the time I boot it up from sleep mode.

It's going to be an interesting next couple of days, super curious about a lot of things, specially the new UI.

[Sophisticated_Chap]

My PC boots faster than that.

[Drew345]

Apparently the strorage space was leaked, too

[bouzebbal]

Not sure what I had to look at?? What's impressive in this?

[Nick_515]

I heard the same thing; that it was an old dev kit. regardless, it's a cold boot and not what i'll see 99% of the time

[sushimama]

- Dualsense PS button not blinking during startup sequence
- Dualsense touchpad lights already up before the boot
- DualSense seems to made by 3D printer
- Black wireless controller to hide it's fake

FAKE

[lukasmain]

@smashman either that or it's FAKE. The black controller? Really? The controller lights are already on before the boot up begins. This smells like TOTAL BS

[MagUk]

That’s right dev kits don’t get updates.

[Obscure_Observer]

It took 23 seconds!

How´s that "Impressively Fast Load Time"?

[smashman98]

You have to consider the fact that the warning might be required. I'm really interested in whether or not Sony's quick resume can fully rival MS, if not exceed it. Either way I'm so ready for Nov 12th and De....
struction Derby.

Thats a joke Definitely can't wait for Demon's Souls. I will platinum it again.

[lukasmain]

I will be honest. If it turns out the the retail console takes 23 seconds to boot up to homescreen, I'll be a little bit disappointed. It should not take that long.

[Computersaysno]

My PS3 with a garbage tier SSD is comfortably faster. 20 seconds from the PS button on the controller to controlling the XMB.

[GamerRN]

Yeah, I wasn't impressed either... Still keeping pre order but overall I think fast load times are being given too much hype

[TheScotsman]

Anyone seen the xbox series x cold boot time yet?

[sushimama]

It's FAKE

-Dualsense PS button not blinking during startup sequence
-Dualsense touchpad lights already up before the boot
-DualSense seems to made by 3D printer
-Black wireless controller to hide it's fake

[TheSaint]

Still a troll then.

[GottaBjimmyb]

For all the talk of the performance of the SSD, 24 seconds isn't that great TBH.

[DerfDerf]

2 seconds slower than the series x cold boot which is interesting.

[COS]

I wouldn't be so worried, I am sure there will be software updates to speed up boot time, I would be more worried about the 662Gb of usable space, that is not a lot w/o a second matching drive option.

[shadowT]

I can remember that part of this sequence was also shown during Playstation Showcase Event.

[Saigon]

Someone in reddit said it was similar to this video

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[zsquaresoff]

Are people really not noticing a black controller in the video? Looks fake but who really knows.

Sony really needs to come out and share all the information regarding ps5 or else someone will leak valuable information like it happened to Microsoft with series s and price reveal.

[S2Killinit]

Tomorrow is scheduled for more info.

[arkard]

@s2 link? I haven't seen anything for tomorrow.

[IRetrouk]

Japanese youtubers hands on, not sure what else is planned but thats deffo the start of the info rush I think.

[S2Killinit]

Its a hands on event on youtube. I forget what was the official name for the event though.

[smashman98]

I noticed it. But if its a devkit it would be different. But honestly, it looked like a skin to me.

Edit: on second viewing on a bigger screen it did not look like a skin to me.

[boing1]

Black controller is real.

[derek]

Or they won't and it still won't matter.

[Skate-AK]

Maybe black controllers are dev controllers so they can keep track of them. Kinda like that crazy paint job MS gave to Durango.

[Teflon02]

Naw lol. Maybe it's the video but it seems 3D printed. And the startup could be similar. But I'm pretty sure with the controller being in before the button was pressed that as tleast the controller was fake or they would have showed UI operation

[purple101]

Well we just have to wait till tomorrow for the official youtube videos from japan

[SpadeX]

It's not really fast, but I think that's to be expected because this doesn't show any sense of validity or perhaps the leaker was running a dev kit.

[crazyCoconuts]

I don't know if it's legit, but it's not that fast. Assuming XSX cold boot is truly a cold boot, it's around the same speed if not faster? And Xbox has traditionally used a significantly heavier OS architecture, so along with the faster drive I expected significantly faster for PS5

[Grilla]

Yup, I would expect something under 10 seconds.

[Bender6502]

'And Xbox has traditionally used a significantly heavier OS architecture' You mean bloated OS?

[Rhythmattic]

Blender

I guess sony moreso have implemented Hardware BC, due to architecture changes , with hardware, They tried software emulation with the PS3 , but their expertise is more the hardware and add an OS,modifying FreeBSD which is Open Source.
MS with the years of OS experience, (whether good or bad) are running VM's I believe ....
This is something apple has always been good at.. Every CPU change has had a smooth transition (arguably , but I say incredible technically) considering a complete architutre change.. 6800 > G4 > G5> Intel... OS9 > OSX....
This is something MS def have the advantage in on sony... Code.
The approach by Apple was an API , the code called Rosetta, This is years before MS ran PPC instructions on Intel x86, Rosetta was removed from OSX 10.7 thus streamlining the OS, but of course outdating older machines...
But using VM's I imagine wouldn't Bloat the OS Footprint, Just a bit more of a hit to CPU and Ram....Maybe..
Just my thoughts on info I have read... No more than that.

[smashman98]

Hello fellow inFamous stan,

I don't expect the cold boot to be much faster than this. I'm not saying that as a mark against PlayStation. For me where the SSD is going to matter is in boot from sleep mode, game switching, and then obviously the in-game advancements like we've seen in Ratchet and Clank and Demon's Souls.

[Sitdown]

"impressively fast"? I read another article saying that it took 23 seconds....faster than the PS4, but slower that the PS3. They didn't necessarily see it as impressive.

[OCEANGROWNKUSH]

Meh, my 2012 macbook pro boots to desktop in 10 seconds running a Samsung evo sdd

[purple101]

Meh. My sony vaio pro 13 used to boot in 6 seconds. From 2013 also samsung drive also

[SegaGamer]

It's the gaming media, they can't help but exaggerate things. If they think that was "impressively fast" then they must be mind blown when they see a PC start up with an Nvme drive.

[smashman98]

I use a regular SSD for boot on my PC I save the NVME for Games. although all things considered I'm thinking about switching boot to an NVME.

[Kaii]

If I can run Spotify+Game+Check the storefront without my console bricking out of existence I'm happy
Context>Fans imploding obviously

[Popsicle]

Taken with a grain of salt.

[VileBrute]

Its fake.... all over twitter people saying its not real. take a huge grain of salt. Tomorrow hopefully we will find out more with the japan streams.

[XxSPIDEYxX]

Woooo they brought back the particles on the UI!

[Ghostbob]

Are we really talking about cold boot times when you can just have it in rest mode and boot up in like 2 seconds.

[Mister_G]

Agreed. Sony will use the compression tech with the SSD to the max.

[BioShockGX]

That's impressive?

[Mister_G]

Faster than the 60 secs a competing console allegedly takes. I have no proof of the 60 secs though, just a rumour I read.

[purple101]

The videos are.on youtube now for xbox. It's reasonably long, yes. but sure it will have a rest mode too. I just watched one. It's roughly 23 seconds . Almost exactly the same.

I wonder why don't sony take away that epelepsy warning like ms have. It.would save loads of time.

I suppose Ms have the money for lawyers if they get sued by epilepsy case. I'm kinda glad it's there. It's safer!

But I also suppose if you were epeleptic you'd be aware flashy games are a risk.

[GottaBjimmyb]

https://youtu.be/oFcDfznnvS...

Apparently 19 seconds is 60 seconds to you... If you are just going to make crap up, at least make sure there isn't proof you are lying.

the saddest part is it is such a stupid thing to lie about, idk what it is with sony fanboys always have to find an excuse for anything even possibly perceived as negative.

[yomfweeee]

So they stuck with same terrible UI. Great.

[derek]

@Gotta Why are you xbox fanboys so obsessed with everything and anything Playstation. Like seriously we don't care about your lousy next gen consoles or what their ui does or how quickly it does it. It doesn't exist. Stop trying to spread your misery to all thing Playstation, it will not work.

[GottaBjimmyb]

@derek what? this guy brought up xbox, not me, I just pointed out he was lying. Also, I am not an xbox fanboy, I have a switch, xbox one x, ps4 pro, pc, htc vive and oculus quest. That doesn't change the fact that what he said was a lie...

[Imortus_san]

From the Video I saw slower the the Series X, but fast enough.

[strayanalog]

At least he tried to create an ambiance with the music playing in the background.

[DaveRetroLondon]

My 6 year old PC with a 6 year old SSD boots from cold in 12 seconds! I hope it's fake as I'm not impressed.

[1nsomniac]

...impressive... umm ok...

At a guess I think it’s pretty safe to consider this a fake. Nothing about it really looks legit but we’ll see I guess. The controller looks fake AF and the OS seems like more of a REBUG CFW trickery.

Certainly nothing impressive to see tho!

[leejohnson222]

This is old and not a retail representation so i read

[stiggs]

Would it be possible to provide your source for this information?

[IRetrouk]

Fake.

[XBManiac]

That's what I expected... and better. Not one and a half minute to load Destiny 2...

[yomfweeee]

Uh how is that fast? Same as PS4. Disappointing if real.

[Iceball2000]

I thought this has already come out as Fake.

[WoPe]

Its bad, now i have to organize my morning in a different way, first make a coffee and stuff before i push the PS button.

[FanboySpotter]

Someone uploaded a sxs vs ps5 boot up time on youtube.(sxs booting up way faster) not gonna believe the ps5 one though.. it could be a big fake. Just wait for actual hands on thing(october 4)

[mkis007]

My ps4 pro cold boots in 27 seconds. Doubt this is real. Standard drive.

[Hawk198666]

How is that impressively fast? It's literally exactly the same as PS4

[Hedstrom]

Confirmed fake!

[sourOG]

Ooo fancy particles. I can dig it.

[VivaLaManual]

Ugh. Hope it's faster than that. I own laptops faster than that on cold boot.

[kayoss]

Black DualSense controller, Yay!
