What I really don’t understand is how crazy it is in 2024 to have to go through the same screen telling you who’s the developer and publisher of the game even after 150 hours of playing time.

I think we should have an option to go to certain parts of the game directly in the welcome screen from your Playstation.

It would not surprise me if game developers use those screens to gain more time to load assets and initialize things in the background.

I’ll bet they do that with cutscenes and elevators too whenever you’re about to go into a new zone.

Could be for some games, but it doesn’t apply to games which had the resume activities and were still exposing you a thousand times to the same screens.

Also, at this point, they don’t know what game mode you’re gonna play so I don’t think they can load much except the general menu.
