I saw Alan Wake II is also recommended to be run from an SSD. I don’t play the latest titles so my question is, is this a new trend or has it been like this for some time?
It’s been a thing for a while now. Hell, you should even be running an SSD for Windows these days.
HDD isn’t suitable for modern systems, except for cheaper mass storage.
Yes, I wouldn’t run any OS off of anything slower than an SSD.
I was just wondering when it became a “requirement” for games instead of just a good thing to do.
It is, and arguably a very good thing. SSDs vastly improve loading times, so there’s fewer occasions where your character awaits a slow elevator, or shimmies slowly through a crawl space. Or, just have you stare at a loading screen.
Not to mention the issues in multiplayer, where 7 players on SSDs need to wait for a hard drive player to load the level before they can start.
knowing our luck it’ll be released exclusively on fucking epic games store -_-
Considering FF7R was there, the chances are pretty good we’ll have to wait until 2025 so it releases on Steam.
