What?????? When you turn off your PC/XBox/PS3/PS4/NextBox, the game (or whatever you did) is completely gone within a few dozen milliseconds. Or are you suggesting that the next consoles have sdd cards that magically cache everything you are doing and magically yell "Lazarus" whenever you kick the power button? "Turn off" = Cut power = end of session "Disconnect" = Cut LAN connection = you may be able to continue depending on what you were doing Allt this "Play instantly while (down)-loading the game" is jusst pr talk. Technically impossible. You will ALWAYS need time to set up the system (when you do it in a clever way, it may only take a few seconds) And can we please stop this "bd is faster than hd" nonsense discussion? |
I think what we don't get is that there is no "turn off" - the ps4 will always be powered on (read: always on ;) ) where just an arm-core is still powered so the system itself can do updates on its own or download games when you buy them via webbrowser automatically.
The thing play instantly while downloading is, from my understanding, the gaikai-stuff which is even more in darkness to me - I am sure we won't see it from day one. Technically it just means you can stream the game like any other game but meanwhile it also gets downloaded. As I type it seems quite strange as the download will also limit your streaming experience... hmm.
Let's see what magic Sony will offer to gamers :)
