DirectStorage is well suited to games with large maps so you can stream in textures when required without having long preload times or stuttering mid game. Not sure if Plague takes this approach though, haven’t actually played it.

It has no such issues which is why I mentioned there's little point in having ds in the game as it wouldn't change much!

I assume you have seen the specs list that they tweeted then promptly deleted?
Let's just say it was comedic!
Meaning it will be a whopping 30% improvement!! But don't get too happy as all means it will load 0.1 seconds faster

That's for the other thread. This is direct storage discussion. I hope direct storage does work well with it, though I have my doubts at the moment. Will look to download the demo later.Sadly I'll be away for the next couple of days so won't be able to try to see if "10gb is enough...."

Don't expect things to be good, no review copies sent before launch for PC, the spec reqs are ridiculous and point to unoptimised performance, Digital Foundry's PS5 take on it showed ray tracing that is half baked (lacklustre AO and GI, like worse than rastered AO/GI).Forspoken PC Demo Live Now on All Stores [UPDATED]

These features don't really impact me as I play mostly online I'm always waiting on the git playing on a laptop 5400rpm drive.
Doesn't matter how fast I am when I have to wait for others.
Might check it out tonight though didn't even know the Xbox game bar was still a thing as I mostly use the Game Pass ultimate window, would be nice if they merged them together.

I'll try the demo out, but like I say, not expecting anything 
Like yeah it might load fast, but then again so do other games that don't use DS?!

Hopefully load times are as fast as the PS5.
You can go from the main menu into the game in around 1 second. Can't say I'm all that interested in the game, only as a tech demo of direct storage.

They are not it's been checked. The game uses ds1.0 instead of 1.1 so no GPU decompression, load times are about what you expect from any other game optimized for an ssd

Got a link? Having played the demo the load time of the save is instant. I don't really know how much quicker than instant you can get. It is click > loaded.
