Battlefield 4 is 65GIGS!

[dane007]

1.) Did you manage to freeze a PS4 game that way? If so, which game was it? The reason I'm asking is because PS4 appears to install games quicker than XBO. Just how much quicker I'm not sure, so I tried to look it up, and found an article that said NBA2K14 took 36 minutes to fully install on PS4, while it took 46 minutes to fully install on XBO. So perhaps that is the install ratio difference. I'm not sure.
As I was searching, I came across some comments about the abiliity to play games as they're installing on PS4:

"I don't even know. Once that first minute passes by, it's a non-issue.
I never even noticed my PS4's disc drive working for more than a few minutes."

"I installed The Last of Us (44gb) in less than 2 minutes."

"I have no idea how long a full game install takes. But generally speaking I can start playing 1 min after I insert the disc."

"It's somewhat of a non-issue.
I put the disc in and by the time I'm done looking at stuff or settling in, the game is ready to play even while still installing. It installs insanely fast...
I really do love the "play as you download/install" part, especially for Injustice: Gods Among Us and Battlefield 4."

Just a portion of the comments, but I still haven't seen anyone mention runnuing into this freezing issue that you did.
Right now I'm inclined to think it's not common at all.

Though even so, don't you think developers would start to learn to tailor their games after this system to allow players to start playing their games even earlier and more efficient? Thinking about it, it seems a bit odd that the game would freeze though, because all the information is on the disc. So if you encountered some information that hadn't been installed, you'd expect it could read that information from the disc instead momentarily. That is, if it's capable of switching from installing to reading like that. It seems like it would be possible. In that case you should experience a slowdown, but not a full crash.

But either way, I think PS4 and XBO should be capable of judging when it is ok for you to start playing, without catching up or passing the installation, right? After all, the time the games allow you to start playing them vary from game to game, likely for that specific reason.

2.) Oh? Which drives are those? I was looking for drives like that, but always encountered slower ones when they're powered through USB only. And after asking, people told me that's generally the case.
As for thinking about what to delete before getting home, sure, why not? It's not like it's a complicated or tiering thought process. Plus reminding yourself of the fact that you'll be able to start playing a new game can be invigorating/motivating after a long day. hough not every day is a long and tiering day. And you can do it during your lunch break. (Or my favorite, during work. ;)) Because we're all able to find out when the games we are interested in are going to be released. So you can have a lot of days and opportunities to decide on it. Can even think about it while you're shutting off your console, or when you go to the bathroom/shower, etc. It should be no problem.

3.) Ah, I see. Yeah 320 GB seems plentiful for last gen. I have a 120 GB PS3, and I feel it's roughly the equivalent to, or similar to, a 500 GB PS4. So I'm expecting to get by with it the same way I did with my PS3. That's why I'd appreciate the play-while-installing option, in case I do go back to play an old game I uninstalled. But I'm hoping the upcoming PS4 Slim will have a 1TB harddrive, in which case it'll probably be perfect for me.
I might wait that long to get a PS4, unless Persona 5 convinces me otherwise.

As for the site with the 2TB drive, it's actually free shipping, so it's not quite that bad. However, it seems to still be around $60 more than you'd expect, since the cheapest 1TB versions tend to go for around $100 with shipping when I looked at the list. As for the site itself, I wouldn't know about that. lol

1) and 2)  i only had that experience once with infamous.  Getting to play while its loading its not long for any consoles. its  bit faster for ps4 , but when i play , the section thats loaded will be completed faster then the console laoding up the next section. From my experience with alien isolation , if you do that, the remaining textures that has been isntalled won't be added to the game that you are playing. You have to restart it from the start for it work .  After alien isolation issue, i jsut let the game fully installed before playing just to avoid that issue. 

 

2.5) Fair enough. it depends on the person. I dont continously think about games when i am at work. I only do it when i am at home. lol i find all the release dates from here so i am well informed about then haha. When it comes to new release , i jsut check with my friend who runs the game deprtment and ask hi to kepe a copy and 90% of the time , i get the game at cost price which is pretty sweet and usually its a limited edition which ends up the same price as a standard one

3) yea its was plentiful. Even right now , i just use it for psn plus games and still have over 120gb left and with psn plus you get shit loads of games. Both have that option, its just that with ps4 you can play after 5% while with  XO you have to wait till it reaches something like 20% before you can start playing.  The ones i got is http://www.pbtech.co.nz/index.php?z=p&p=HDDSEA0432&name=Seagate-3TB-Expansion-Desktop-3.5-USB-3.0-External Thats the 3tb. The place where i always get my pc stuff, they only ssell usb 3.0 hard drives and they always have specials on them to . http://www.pbtech.co.nz/index.php?z=c&p=externalhdd&b=Seagate. They are the cheapest when it comes to IT stuff.

Ah okay. free shipping is good. However the price is ridiculous. I can by nintendo 3ds or if top it up by 30ish dollars i can get a new nintendo 3ds  :D. I haven't heard about them as well. I tend ot avoid places like that lol.
