Those are big install sizes... That is one thing that makes me nervous aboutt he x1 since I cant upgrade the hard drive... Could always connect an external drive i guess... Still, dont understand why ms wouldnt make that upgradeable...

You will use external UBS HDD soon.

My biggest complain (with both consoles) was that I even with a big 1TB HDD I will can have only ~20 games installed... I was thinking to get a SSD what make my situation even worst


Yeah, storage is a big concern, I actually plan on buying everything digitally this time on both of those consoles, but im going to run out of room pretty quick...  An ssd would be nice, but crap, you wont be able hold anything on that thing.  Plus, wouldnt that effectively double or triple the price of your console down there?  Which is already insanely expensive?

So does the PS4 require you do install a game like this? Not a troll question, I'm being serious. If so, I'm not liking the next gen already.

Yes. CoD: Ghost requires 49GB... only Killzone Shadown Fall seems to have no install.

It does say "up to" so I really hope those are not the minimum requirements, that would be ridiculous.

I havent heard of it being required, but i imagine a lot of games will have mandatory installs just like the ps3 this gen.  At least that is my guess, so who knows

Seems like developers don't know how to compress next gen games correctly. I'm not going to want to have all digital if that requires 50 gb per game. That's just ridiculous.


Actually, I think the idea is to not compress them...

Wait guys, Ryse supports haptic triggers but Forza doesn't?

That's what the box says.

Also why are Kinect voice commands optional but smartglass is just a dot?

I feel it will take a few months for everything to get on the same page.


Oh this thread's about the installs? Eh it's life

I think they are compressed... Eurgogamer article said Killzone digital version was 150GB (in some part of the project 290GB) and they optimized to 37.9GB install.

This is one of the reasons I am not planning on going fully digital next gen, I can't afford to use a fourth of my bandwidth to download one game.

You can download the game from a disc, and then buy the digital license.

The Forza pic seems to be Yas Marina Circuit... this track was confirmed before?
