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. |
What if i don't want to open up my brand new console which cost me £350? That is a lot of money down the drain if something were to go wrong, given that chance.
I just don't get why we suddenly have to install every file in the game. This is a PC. Or at least i didn't think it was. Take, Call of Duty Ghosts for example. No install on X360, PS3 or Wii U. 49gb install on X1 and Ps4 and 40gb on pc. How the fuck is that possible?! These are only the first games on PS4 and X1 and yet have massive installs already. I dread to think what install sizes games like Uncharted or a future GTA will be. My point is the installs shouldn't be so large given that we start off with 'just' 500gb. I don't care if there is more detail to be honest, the next gen games certainly don't look much better as of yet.
