Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Takes Almost No Time to Load a Save File From the Main Menu

by

Being a dedicated PS5 gamer, it’s no wonder that Death Stranding 2: On the Beach leverages the console’s cutting-edge technology for smooth performance. As I, along with fellow gamer NecessaryAd6735, have observed, this game seems to magic away loading times, almost instantaneously bringing us back into the action from the main menu, as showcased in a Reddit clip.

In most contemporary games, load times are becoming increasingly brief due to advancements in console and PC hardware. However, the lightning-fast load times in “Death Stranding 2: On the Beach” seem almost immediate compared to others.

It’s unclear how they achieved such fast loading speeds, but one theory suggested in a Reddit post is that the game probably started loading save data as soon as its splash screen appeared. This way, most of the loading process would have been done early on, explaining the almost immediate load times.

Additionally, it’s important to mention that swift loading times can primarily be achieved through not just powerful processors in contemporary equipment, but also rapid solid-state drives (SSDs) that don’t require a physical seek operation like traditional hard drives using a needle to locate data on a spinning disk.

Excitedly announcing the new game launch, “Death Stranding 2: On the Beach,” Kojima Productions has additionally shared a 6-minute video teaser. For those eager to watch it, click here. Although this trailer may include some plot reveals, the obscure nature of the scenes depicted within the trailer will probably make these spoilers comprehensible only to players who have previously completed the game.

Prior to the launch of the game, it was disclosed that actor Luca Marinelli, portraying Neil in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, initially believed he would be assuming the role of Snake in a fresh Metal Gear production. However, Kojima informed him, “No, you’re not Snake. You merely have a bandana on your head!

Kojima expressed that he was seeking an actor capable of surpassing both Mads Mikkelsen and Cliff. He believed Luca had the talent for it, and his acting was truly exceptional. As for Léa Seydoux or Norman Reedus, they often seem engrossed in their phones. However, when Luca began to act, everyone stopped what they were doing and focused solely on him.

In the recent past, Kojima shared some worries as early reviews of the game were overwhelmingly favorable. He mentioned that he’d prefer it to be slightly more contentious. “During the testing of Death Stranding 2,” he stated, “it wasn’t as I had hoped. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. That’s why I expressed my concerns, saying, ‘Perhaps this might be an issue.’ In the original Death Stranding, people had mixed opinions, with both positives and negatives.
