PS4 will get long load time or not ? I was sure no, but ..

From Sony words... little to no load time and instant play games (no boot if you power off the PS4 with the disc in the tray).


Yes, that is if Gaikai is working which I doubt it will be from day 1. Also keep in mind that this will require a very good internet access (read: good bandwidth and more important, very good latency. Leave aside a very good infrastructure provided by Sony).

What the instant play feature (the OS caches the state of the game in memory because the standby never turn off the PS4 and just returns from the same state like a Standy By option in notebooks) have to do with Gaikai or Internet connection?

I think you confused the things here... all the feature I listed are for offline play... little or no load time and instant play.


"During Sony’s PlayStation 4 presentation today, cloud-computing company Gaikai CEO David Perry revealed how the enhanced PlayStation Network will change the way you play games. The benefits include instantly playing demos of games without downloading anything, spectating any friends’ game, and remotely taking over control for them."
