Why? A 50gb install per game? In fact I recall sony saying 0 loading times ever for games... yet not only did nba 2k13 install itself onto the HDD..... but it has almost the same lengthy loading times that 2k13 did on the ps3..... and the game although looks much better... doesn't look so good that it has to run on both the disc and the HDD for it to sustain 60fps at 1080p on a console 10 times more powerful than ps3 with 8gb of ram....

 

why is sony forcing 25GB + installs for games???? When games like KZ2, which looks arguebly as good as nba 2k13... with way more going on, runs with mb on the HDD... on the ps3, and even less loading?

Look, Ram got 16 times bigger ( 10-14 times for the crucial vram), while the BR drive is only 3x faster than the one in the PS3 and even back then not everything could be streamed from the disc into ram.

Just by this you should see that if you want those bigger textures to load into ram quickly enough you need to install them to HDD.
