any difference in loading or such between console or PC?

Quite a major difference

French Southern Territories

Mijzical didn't mentionned that PC is faster (I guess he thought it was obvious)

Pc is slower than ps4 faster than Xbox. Just remember that pc characters are faster for 106

United States

how much slower is PC compared to PS4, scarlet? in a run that i just checked, it took ~8 seconds for the player to enter 1-1, which seems comparable to PC.

United States

it should also be noted that theres no a & s skip available on ps4, which probably counteracts any discrepancy in load times

Waterford, Ireland

I don't have a ps4 but in a thread earlier on this forum gaurox said he thought it would save 10-15sec

Queensland, Australia

that doesn't sound right

Queensland, Australia

It still doesn't sound right like ham said

United States

i would like to see more about ps4 v pc. if anyone has a ps4, could you record a run through forest or w/e?

United States

Perhaps we should try different hardware/operating systems and compare them. Running SMB on an SSD or on Linux might make a huge difference in loading times.

The PS4 version is borked it seems in so many ways, not withstanding the inferior OST... The speed run strats at least with Meat Boy seems totally synced slightly faster or slower. For instance 5-8X Downer doesn't seem possible to do the previously easy MB "jump over middle bottom saw" top strat on 360/PC.

This could be because they screwed the game to run in NSTC mode (59.99 fps) rather than a locked 60fps. So, anyway without a patch fix this will remain the worst version of this game. Along with a patch to add SMW (Teh Internets aka PS4) and a fix for SMW PC which Tommy promised over a year ago for both platforms and it never happened... So no high hopes for PS4 version.

Btw, this is true for lots of other levels too, but somebody let me know if they can indeed hit 17.xx on 5-8X Downer on PS4. Not even MHGenesis has it so I supposed not. Anyway if anyone wants to add me on PSN my ID is "Jinserver". Take care, bros.
