Yoshida first confirmed that Playstation 4 does automaic cashing to games, and its not the mandatory install. This is really huge news for Playstation 4, it basically mean, if you want to play CoD Ghosts and Killzone, you won't need 100GB of space (50GB each,) you'll just need 50GB to cache them. That's so cool!

Good, that really sucked on the PS3 that you needed double the actual size of the game on your HDD.

does xbox1 do caching or is it full installas?

Wait, what? "@DiamondDM13 it's automatic, not install but caching data"

The article's author is most probably reading it wrong.  You don't "install", it's happening automatically. And most probably they don't delete the cache because otherwise it wouldn't make any sense.

This is good news if the cache is lower than 5GB for example... if the cache is big then I prefer installation.

Depend on how work cache, if its like youtube, this not matter how big this is, and its a good new :)

Another advatange for sony, they really went about getting it right this time!

Eh, the cache will definitely be higher than 5GB :) Like Cerny said, when bits are read from the ODD it will copied to HDD because ODDs are crap in terms of speed. Especially bad access times.

Ooh man that was a close one.

Can we please just stop this BS? Seriously. Why are all of you so willing to be bent over and gang banged like this? We shouldn't be FORCED to install anything. They should either include a fast enough drive/system to handle the data straight from the disc, or go Nintendo's route and slow down.

Maybe it's because I've been in this industry since the mid 80's, but I think this is madness. From the first gen to the sixth, you bought a game, popped it in, and played said game. Now, we're being FORCED into installing and/or caching games? It's garbage. I won't buy a system that's that gimped. It would be one thing if they were sticking a 2 TB HDD in the thing (Xbone AND PS4) but 500GB? That's about 10-12 games. That means another expense out of MY pocket that I didn't have to worry about back in the day.

When you buy a console, that purchase should include everything needed to play games over it's lifespan out of the box.
