Console speed difference.

Hi everyone,

I recently started learning Detention. Unfortunately, I immediately noticed how the PS4 version is way slower than the Switch version. Only in the Prologue (first two splits) I was already behind over 25 seconds despite a clean try and the fact that the WR holder goes to the wrong door in the first classroom.

I tried to compare the videos side by side and noticed that PS4 loses time vs Switch basically everywhere in the game, but mostly in the loading between rooms.

One example: http://www.youtubemultiplier.com/5f086d0135994-detention-comparison-switch-vs-ps4.php I lose 4/5 seconds only from the Auditorium to the blood river.

Another example: http://www.youtubemultiplier.com/5f0869df7cff2-comparison-switch-vs-ps4.php Despite the WR holder goes the wrong way in the first room, she arrives 8 seconds before me to the Auditorium.

I was excited to run this game, but it makes no sense to learn it and try compete against Switch. No way I can beat that time.

Is there any chance you would consider a Sub-Sub-Category under "Console"? "Switch" and "PS4" basically separated under "Console".

Many other games separate console when they are different in loading and no IGT. One example: https://www.speedrun.com/re4console

Please, please consider this change. Thanks!

I'm curious if you're playing with the standard HDD for the PS4 since they are upgrade-able to an SSD which if you are on HDD would probably reduce loads times to be competitive if not faster than a Switch.

Personally no. I was using the original HDD.

Thanks for the info. I might mess around to see how much time an SSD can save when I have some more disposable income to buy more copies of this game
