| Ka-pi96 said: heh, I remember that issue with the Xbox One. It`s crazy that PS4 can install games in seconds whereas for Xbox One it seems to take forever. The best solution I can think of (and you won`t like it) is just to leave the game installing over night and play in the morning instead. |
The Xbox One seems to install *everything* though. That's usually a good 30-50Gb of data, some games need to decompress data whilst installing, which takes additional time and extra drive space that could apparoach 80Gb or more. Then patch that afterwards.
The Xbox is basically doing a more comprehensive install... And when dealing with 10's of Gigabytes, it was never going to be a speedy process anyway.
Hopefully Scorpio includes a faster optical drive to speed up the process.
For example... I bought Dragon Age: Inquisition Digital Deluxe edition on Disc, which I obviously installed.
A bit later we got a GOTY edition, which basically included all the DLC.
I bought the digital version of the GOTY edition instead of purchasing all the DLC seperately (Cheaper) which basically just upgraded my install from the Deluxe to Game of the Year and downloaded the DLC seperately, there was no extra install/download for the base game.
Basically once you install the game to the Hard Disk, the disk is only used for DRM checking.

Yes. But it's up to the Developer.
Halo: The Master Chief Collection had this, the game took me 20 hours to install and patch, but I could play chunks of the campaign whilst the rest of the game installed.

This frustrates me as much as the next person, you buy a game, you will then wish to run home and play it as soon as you can, sadly that isn't always the case.
