The SSD load times are a big game changer. It looks like its 50-100x faster loading data than the PS4, and will load worlds dynamically as you play, so less pausing or need for interludes. Rockstar will love this shit.
Asterix, they're testing around 4000 PS4 games for backward compatibility and they're satisfied with progress to-date.
A good example of how the tech world has changed since the PS4 release is downloading updates etc. A friend downloaded a 20 GB Warzone update in 15 minutes, but the process still took an hour+ because the download itself went too quick and the hard drive didn't manage to copy the file fast enough to keep up. I actually switched out the original hdd with an sshd the minute I got mine so it's slightly quicker, but of course no match for a pure ssd.
I hope the backwards compatibility works well. I have a big backlog of PS + games where I know that some of them support 4k/60 fps on PS Pro so I'm hoping I can get that kind of experience even though they're old games.
