So it's software architecture indeed.

Actually the install times are the same on both consoles. PS4 just let's you play before the install is finished.


so does the xbox one.

It staggers me how little ps4 owners know about the xbox one and yet spout it anyway.

How come the differences then? Seeing times of 7 minutes and up install times on X1 makes it seem to me that in that time the whole game was installed. I mean how much longer do you think an install of the whole game would take?


did you read what he said? 

there will be a software fix.  it was designed to work a different way and so now they have to re code it.

Thank you for not answering my question at all and instead trying to distract me with a point that I already know and acknowledged in my first post. So much for "did you read".



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

That's not true. Lots of people are complaining a lot about the long install times. 


Thats pretty much BS though.

I have installed a few games now on my Xbox One. It only takes 20-40 min depending on your game. If you can't wait a half an hour and eat dinner or something while your game installs there is something psychologically wrong with who ever complains about waiting. Either that or they are Sony/Nintendo/Ouya fans.

That's not true. Maybe your interenet is super fast but many people complain about very long install times. Even people on this forum that own both consoles say the X1 takes much longer.

So you completely missed my point.  Not surprised, it was inconvenient for you.

dlna is a much requested feature for the PS4, there was an almighty uproar a year ago about it.  Yosh said he would get on it.  One year later....?  nothing.

We can all pick on the aspects missing on the console we dont like, but its actually pretty childish.  Both have features missing or not yet up to par.  BOTH.

If you cant admit that then you are being disingenuous and unreasonable.

Fist... I blame Sony for promised a feature called Suspend/StandBy and not delivered yet... and no the feature how it works in Xbone is not welcome... it needs permit that you can play others games and/or shutdown your console... Suspend/Resume like Xbone is no different than pause a game, and to be fair PS4 do the exactly the same when you open others non-gaming application.

DLNA was never a much requested feature... is not even in the TOP20... few users use it.

I'm not being disingenuous or unreasonable here... it is a issue complained by xbox onwers, talked in a interview by the boss of the Xbox and you try to do damage control like always.

Ohhhh way... damage controls looks like disingenuous and unreasonable.



Should be, Would be, Could be, doesnt help MS, just make it happen or say it cant.

Im still hearing an echo of a year ago about the power of the cloud, well use it already.

Well, I let a game installing on my PS4 and came here just to reply this and say that I think you... Damn, it's already over, I have to go, I hate this 1min installs!

:P

Yeap... both do that but what Xbone oweners complain and what Phill is saying is that Xbone even doing that is ridiculoous slow compared with PS4.

90% of the Xbone games have install times over 5x worst than SP4.

And it is software fault from MS.

which they will fix.

whats the problem?

PS4 fans dont sem to mind waiting for dlna (promised by cuddly yosh over a year ago) and suspend resume (reveal feature), so I dont mind waiting for this.

How did I know before I entered the thread that kowenicki would be here attacking Sony fans? We get it kowenicki. Sony fans are horrible people. How dare somebody enjoy a console that wasn't made by Microsoft? But it's not my fault. You see I was dropped on my head as a child. I never recovered, and I've always ended up buying Sony consoles. But alas, it is too late for me. My soul is beyond saving. Maybe in a different life I'll make the correct choice when buying the console I'll mostly end up using for Netflix.

Until then, keep on fighting the good fight kowenicki. Never rest, never take a break. Give them no quarter. Anybody who doesn't have your tastes should be burned at the stake. Flayed, tortured, shown absolutely no mercy. Spread the good word of Microsoft. Bill Gates will be pleased with you. He will be waiting for you at the pearly gates with a brand new copy of Banjo Threeie. Your loyalty will not go unrewarded.

...see you guys in a week.

What a terrible post.

So if I don't want to wait 40 minutes before being able to play a game because it is installing it means something is psychologically wrong with me?

What say you about those who instead of voicing their dissatisfaction just suck it up and deal with whatever shit is thrown their way? "Smart"?

If you can not wait then you just play the game after 5-10 minutes installing.....


On topic:  I was one of those guys who got annoyed with the PS3 updates last generation but that was I bought a game, installed and then got like 2-3 updates...And sorry but updates could take some time on PS3.    No problem with Ps4...

On Xone it needs indeed a longer time to instal.   Forza 5 took a long time to fully install but I could play it maybe after 5-6 minutes..and it stays installing while playing so you can make the issue so big like you want really...



I got an Xbox One and, while I love it, the install time was horrifying. I used to complain about the PS3 but the install with Ryse was the longest of any game I'd ever experienced. Hope they fix it.
