PS5 Makes a Mockery of Marvel's Avengers' Long PS4 Load Times

All good stuff. I'll start looking into this.

Tried playing it yesterday but I'm getting a lot of freezes after a mission. It seems that everytime I load back into the quinjet and even opening/closing menus while in the quinjet causes the game to freeze for 5-10 seconds. Frustrating.

I played a hive, a villain sector, and all of the Hawkeye story last night. It was extremely fast, smooth, and gorgeous. I am playing on a 70" 4k 120hz Samsung tv, and that 60fps and graphical upgrade really made a difference. I immediately felt like this game should have ditched releasing on the previous gen and waited until now to launch, because it more or less felt built for it.

Here is a clip of it -

Tried the demo back on the PS4, and thought it was just okay. Not quite the play style I was hoping for, but I did like the variety.

If it's cheap enough, I might pick it up to give it a try, especially with 4-second load times. A stable 60fps might make some of the "hold this space against the onslaught" missions easier to follow than they were in the demo, too.

Awesome. I just bought Avengers on PS4 a couple of weeks ago, and managed to snag a PS5 yesterday. I'm looking forward to trying this.

Can't wait for this gen of games with instant load times. Feel like I now notice loading screens more than I do visual improvements in games. Perhaps its because I die so much more than most people do? Still great to hear about loading times disappearing!

Hmm, maybe I'll buy this just for the single portion alone if the game is discounted heavily, 60 fps is nice.

@StonyKL Yeah, some games like jedi fallen order is not fun if we're playing against boss or special monster since the loading times are looong.

I can’t get my PS4 save file to transfer over. So I’m just going to restart the campaign.I had only completed 3 story levels. Hard to redo the slow first level but I’m eager to get into the meat of the campaign

Easy to load a game when no one is playing

Doesn't "make a mockery" of the current-gen upgrade process though, does it?
Nah, that honour is reserved for Microsoft.

@Hopewell yeah you have to go through a weird transfer process instead of just using the cloud

It can load as quick as it likes, I still have zero intention of buying and playing what's essentially a grind-fest that they decided to make even grindier. I have too much actual good stuff in my backlog

Not a huge fan of the game but I'll be on it tonight as a buddy of mine is a streamer and he's streaming a 4-man play along with a discussion about Falcon and Bucky. Gonne be fun.

Is this available via disc (ps5) or do you just buy ps4 version and diggy upgrade?

Yes I played the Hawkeye training tutorial and it was awesome

... got to say I bought this in the sale waiting for the upgrade.. playing it now.. It's been unfairly ravaged by reviewers.. if you take it as a single player game it's brilliant.. Forget the "end game" nonsense and play for the campaign and you'll easily get your money's worth. Loads of content with more to come! Oddly reminds me of the new Tomb Raider trilogy (mixed with Saints Row).. really fun stuff!

Besides the loading times the upgrade brings only small things to the table. For the first time I felt like the 60fps mode is super weird, it seems 'choppy' in a way...
The graphical boost in the other mode is neat but at the same time the 30fps are really bad.
The game is still the same "meh" it was back when it released, at least with the low level characters I have

@Enuo Don't

@Enuo Do.

Very poor use of the marvel license in my opinion. I got very board with it and there was only a few stand out moments. I'm glad I got it cheap off eBay as if I paid full price at release it would of been hugely disappointed.

@OneManDroid I waited specifically for the PS5 version (got it on sale a few weeks ago). Started playing it yesterday and so far, I'm heaving a blast. It might help that multiplayer is always the least interesting part of a game for me (I don't like people lol) so I'm all about the campaign.

The game is basically Streets of Rage with a little Destiny-style loot mixed in with Marvel characters. I enjoy the game myself. I just REALLY want to put some time into the PS5 version, but some weird quirk of fate keeps me from acquiring a PS5. Oh yeah, that's the insane mobs of people still trying to get a PS5 nearly 6 months out from launch.

@HuJack007 it’s a native ps5 copy. Just picked it up for 40 bucks. Awesome game so far.

Thanks @RoyalGuard , stopped by gamestop they didnt have it said to buy ps4 game and upgrade they have no clue and hardly had any games

"On PS4 Pro, some load times can last over a minute."

Uh-huh. Still remember waiting 25 minutes for a <64KB game to load from tape on the C64.

@Paranoimia absolutely! and games like "Turbo Outrun" where you had to reset the tape counter and it loaded each level... once the original game had loaded... and then of course there was the fear that after 20 minutes, it wouldn't actually work and you'd have to try again... those were the days....

@OneManDroid Was overjoyed when I finally got a Datel Action Replay and could 'back up' all my games to a C60 using the turbo-loader. 😄
