they can get most of their fanbase back if they remove mandatory game installs.

It's not the installs, it is the ability to play without the disc. You can keep installs, but just make people put the disc in. Most reports seem to suggest that the PS4 will require installs too
|
Describe to me in detail how this install process works on PS4 if you can, im misinformed.
|
Well as far as I can tell, you put the disc in and as you start playing, it loads the data onto the HDD. It is not like an installation for a PC/Xbone game where you need some sort of key, it is just a datadump that is useless without the disc in.
I haven't seen this from anything official, but it is what most people seem to be suggesting
|
Is that data the actual game? Do you have to have the disc in the machine for the game to work? Can you play the game without having the disc in the machine?
|
So this is where the difference is, you DO have to have the disc in to play as far as I can understand, it works the same way that PS3 installs work (or probably more like 360 ones). I am sure there is some way to conbine the best of both worlds, but sticking with the current gen method seems to the most popular
