Thank god they implemented play as you download, but ill still be getting the boxed copy.


Play as you download? Available from Day one? And even if, you really need a very good internet acess so it will work.


Theyve said its avaiilable day 1 theyve even shown it happening in there promo reels for Killzone, so not sure what your getting at, they already beta tested the tech on PS3 with TLOU. Why do you need very good internet access for it to work, once youve got the minimum at whatever speed you can start playing, if you have really slow connection, you many have to stop again i suppose,  but its sureley better than waiting for the full 50gig before diving in?

Surely if you have very good internet its less of a thing for you as it probably wont take that long to download the full game?


We are talking about 50G. No matter how you spin this, you will have to wait many times with a bad internet connection. Just buy the game as disc. I say it *is* nice to start playing while downloading but it also has its downsides which perhaps some customers don't see immediately. And TLOU dlded 50% until playing, didn't it? This is somewhat different to this approach.

So, Wii U charging for 32GB only and letting you install any external hard drive is still the worst idea ever!

50 GB? My god that is about 1/10 of the PS4 hard drive.

Also this is going to download really slow, nothing like the commercials...

 

500 GB drive means 465 GB unformatted. + OS size.

The size is just ridiculuos. Today PC games have high-res textures and assets and don't come even close to that.

Maybe they are using the Disc version which may have some of the data copied in different sections to reduce the need to search for it, like some PS3 games?



Please excuse my bad English.

Former gaming PC: i5-4670k@stock (for now), 16Gb RAM 1600 MHz and a GTX 1070

Current gaming PC: R5-7600, 32GB RAM 6000MT/s (CL30) and a RX 9060XT 16GB

Boxed copy preordered with the PS4. I'm not taking up any HDD space with anything other than Plus free games and indies that are much smaller

Overall, this is ridiculous. There is no way that this game needs this huge amount of data, in my opinion and it's just a waste of disksize. I hope they don't have nearly uncompressed videos again to fill up the disc.


Your post is ridiculous.................Bigger more detailed games = bigger downloads. You can preload so i don;t know what they deal is.  It will be the norm this gen.

His post isn't ridiculous. If Crysis 3 can fit into under 9GB on PC, then Killzone should be able to fit into less than 50 :P

Hopefully the data is being used for something useful, and not excessively large cutscene files (i'm looking at you Uncharted 3 ¬_______¬)

So if you buy Killzone digitally you will have 8/10 of the PS4 available? That's weird... Is this game supossed to be 50 GB? Isn't it being mishandeld?

Going to be different minimum size for each game i would of thought. it doesnt need to be 50%, i got star craft 2 this weekend thats 15gig but lets you start playing after youve downloaded 1 gig. 

Not sure why your hating on this feature so much its a great thing, i will be getting it on disk anyway as reguardless of size it will no doubt be financially more agreeable on disk, although thats a whole other argument :)
