What's the largest hard drive you can install in PS4? I bet the disc space will be the only limitation next-gen.
Where did you hear that?
I think that's NOT true for the PS4.
However, PlayGo "is two separate linked systems," Cerny said. The other is to do with the Blu-ray drive -- to help with the fact that it is, essentially, a bit slow for next-gen games.
"So, what we do as the game accesses the Blu-ray disc, is we take any data that was accessed and we put it on the hard drive. And if then if there is idle time, we go ahead and copy the remaining data to the hard drive. And what that means is after an hour or two, the game is on the hard drive, and you have access, you have dramatically quicker loading... And you have the ability to do some truly high-speed streaming."
1. Bull. No way would a 60GB game be downloaded in 1.5Hours.
2. Yeah it is. Not everyone, especially in non Tier 1 regions, have the option or money for unlimited bandwidth.
3. Derp, installing it from a backup source locally is faster than downloading it.
4. Nope. In a few years time with big video games collection, backups will need to be stored some where.
5. Yeah, that's a bad thing. Well seen you have no argument for it.
6. Which means a long wait time. Not just yourself but others will slow broadband speeds.
7. Um, It's happened to me before and the GTA5 PSN issue was a fine example. Plus I've seen it happen to other people on Steam before.
8. Good stay there. Optical storage is by far and away the best medium for next gen.
And how can you speak on most people's behalf? Have you got proof to verify it all as being an "non issue". Or is this just more deluded optimism.
Me too. I don't see why they wouldn't. That's pretty much the whole point of using USB 3.0.Full Hdd all the time: the feel of next gen
I hope Ps4 gonna Support externals in the the Future
It is true. From Gamasutra's interview with Cerny:
I'm sure the system itself will support the drive, it's more of making it fit. It just sounds, dirty, having a straight up drive laying near the system. At least external drives can look nice. That said, I'll definitely be slapping in a 1-2TB hybrid drive in my PS4 and attaching a huge external on my Xbox One once the support for game installs on the external is added. Though, I find it frustrating that both systems are only using SATA II for their internal drives.
Na, FIFA will be there too. Since they released the PC version of FIFA with current gen systems (and every other console imaginable) they didn't use the IGNITE engine for it so it doesn't look all that better than the PS3 or 360 versions.
PES though, damn that game is gorgeous.
Oh boy, this is going to be annoying.
I guess I'll HAVE to buy a TB drive now.
When was the last EA sports game that EA gave a shit about on pc ;_;
I'm sure Microsoft and Sony both have storage management clients in their systems that will say "Hey, you haven't played this game in x amount of days, would you like to remove it to make more room for new content? You can always reinstall it!"
Hope for the best... Expect the worst.
I mean, if NBA and Killzone are 50Gb, can you imagine the size of RPGs? Mass Effect 4? Final Fantasy XV?
50GB for a basketball game?? That's outrageous. Are there uncompressed 4K resolution videos scattered throughout the game or what?

The size of these games will eat the X1 HDD alive.
With 3 OS's it is likely the 500GB HDD inside the X1 will actually be 450GB or so, who knows maybe less then that.
So, if games average 30-50GB and it is mandatory to install each and every game, you could run out of room on your HDD within 10-15 games played. Not that great.
Games being that massive, it would start to suck pretty fast to keep having to delete and reinstall them whenever you want to play. Installations could take half an hour.
Have I said that I speak for most people? Just like you, I'm basing it on my own case.
I actually overshot with the 1.5h, it would probably sligthly less in my case..

Why would anyone lie about that?Read:
"Non-issue for alot of people".
You're clearly trying to speak for most people. And the 1.5hr thing is still fake.
With that kind of size for a sports game, I'm hoping for a big upgrade in the audio department. Fully dynamic commentary (which 2k was the best at in current gen), dynamic crowds, more arena/team specific songs/sounds, etc.
When people relise just how much of a burden a 60GB next gen game download is gonna be, it'll dis-encourage them from DD.
For the following reasons:
1. The initial download time itself.
2. Bandwidth.
3. Having no option to back up the download.
4. If you can back it up, just how many and how expensive will all the external HDDs be?
5. If the internal or even external HDD fails, you need to download again.
6. MP will be useless when downloading. Or will be laggy.
7. If the download fails or becomes corrupted, how happy will you be to have to restart all over again?
8. Having it on disk is far and away more convenient than on storage. In all aspects.
-50GB
The reason both consoles only have 500GB drives? Streaming?
Screw that.
With the amount of space inside the XB1, I'm pretty damn sure "adaptor brackets" for full 3.5 inch SATA drives will come about.
If not I'll just jam a 3.5 inch drive in there and be done with it.
Maybe I'll try get another pcie slot in there too.....¬_¬
The discs are gonna auto install anyway. You will still run out of space with disc only titles.
Are people forgetting this?
Not a problem when you can reinstall from the disc whenever and still play as it installs. Not the same problem as having to download 50 gigs again if you get that itch.The discs are gonna auto install anyway. You will still run out of space with disc only titles.

The Wii U supports 2TB external HDD at the moment, it's the next-gen console with the largest upgradeable storage, is that right?
Yes, yes they are.
That's actually pretty good. Here's hoping it uses exFAT.1.5 tb 2.5 9mm Hdd is the largest 9mm currently available
I find it pretty hard to believe that 2K14 will need that much HDD space. I'm thinking 20GB at the most.
Damn... The download times... Starting to second guess my plan to go all digital.I mentioned this earlier in the thread, and I'll write it again: the Wii U digital copy of 2K13 is 25GB. I know because I own it.
I doubt 50GB with higher resolution textures and uncompressed audio/video is off by much, if any.
