They're all comparing to regular hdds. SSD is a game changer there.
The guy behind the video is a little harsh, but he gets to the point, and I've read a lot of the same sources he has -- especially the one about them having to slow that Spider-Man demo down for playing purpose. Having said that, i need you to pay very close attention to this part riiiight here:
"This is not just a whole lot of polygons and memory. It's also a lot of polygons being loaded every frame as you walk around through the environment and this sort of detail you don't see in the world would not be possible on any scale without these breakthroughs that Sony’s made."
In Mark Cerny's speech, this is exactly what he talks about when it comes to turning your head in the game. How this is being achieved entirely, I'm not so sure. But it definitely matches what he's been saying about the SSD playing a huge role in a big part of that, and now we are hearing these same claims from developers. So again, if none of this were possible or it didn't mean anything, i don't think he'd stake the bank on it, and most of all, i don't think developers would be carrying on with the same lie just to fuel the system's hype.
