so 8GB of ram..... and a faster Disc drive.... so why a 50GB install per game?

It's amazing, people without the slightest knowledge (you)  seem to know better than the people who actually have to design the whole stuff...

Ever heard of the term "seek time"?

Let's not even talk about noise, heat, power draw - you know, all those unimportant details that make people use hds and ssds instea of blu-ray drives...

 

The PS3 disc drive was slow as shit but it could still play games off the disc.

The PS4 has an even faster disc drive but no game can play off the disc now? Not a single game? Are we playing stupid or something? That was obviously a design choice.

Maybe by making it mandatory they are future proofing so when the games get big/detailed enough that just running on the disc won't cut it we don't then have to deal with the growing pains of developers slowly requiring installs.  That's all I got.
