Whats the point in having 500gb if you can only put ten or so games on it? If Sony knew this would happen they should of put at least 2TB in the console to start with. But, why do we suddenly need to install everything on the disc? PS3 games had relatively small installs (most less than 5gb each) and most games in the end were over 20gb. Uncharted 3 most of been 50gb but had us install only 1gb. Hell, GTA V had those amazing graphics and huge world to load and yet needed only 8gb to install to run well. Surely, blu-ray isn't that slow. I guess i'm waiting a little while for PS4 to get a bigger hard drive. |
You can buy and install a HDD yourself, it looks like they've made it as easy as changing a laptop HDD if not easier. You can even get a SSD/HDD hybrid to further speed up load times.
As for the other stuff, did you miss the bit about having masses of data this gen? The size of assets will have increased hugely whilst optical drives haven't kept pace. The less devs have to worry about whether a certain object will load in time is more time that can be spent actually making a great game.
