Forget ray tracing, 60fps, controllers, etc, the biggest reason to get a PS5 is for load times (or lack thereof). I was impressed with how fast Spider-Man started up in-game from a dead stop, but I was blown away the first time I tried fast travel. I went into the map, chose a fast travel spot and went to pickup my phone out of habit. Before I could even unlock it I was already playing again, there was zero downtime. We haven't had seemless gameplay like this since the end of the cartridge era, the death of the load screen will be seen as the greatest achievement of this generation of consoles IMO. After playing Spider-Man for so long, going back to a PS4 game that wasn't optimized for the new SSD was jarring. I would end up buying remasters of my favorite PS4 titles just to have the fast load feature, regardless of any graphical improvement
