| theprof00 said: Installs were needed because of long access times to cut down on loading. I already predicted the day tha they said 8gb that we would see the end of load times. Suddenly, every game seems to be open world with no loading. Xb1 requires installs because of drm, not to improve performance. They also said they wanted the xb1 to have seemless transitioning between voice commands and launching programs. I very much doubt that we are going to be seeing a lot of installs or loading on ps4. |
I am pretty sure its to improve performance and give a more pc like platform game devs. now wether its pc, xbox one or ps4 all games will be intsalled. I could be wrong but I swore the ps4 installs all games too.i know its wikipideia but i dont have time to search all over and find a better answer. do you have sources saying they wont need installs?

PlayGo
When a title is selected online, only a portion of the game data has to be transferred to the system before it can be started (e.g. the first level), with the remaining parts downloading during play, reducing waiting time. If users prefer to play their game directly from disc, PS4 will install data to the hard drive during play, eliminating loading times. This is accomplished via the system's background processor. Similarly, system updates are downloaded seamlessly in the background without interruption.[66] The PS4 also features technology that attempts to determine trends, including titles a gamer is likely to express interest in next, and then automatically download a small percentage of those games in the background, even in sleep mode, in order to save time.[14]
