I guess you are not aware that there is no manual data management on the Xbone, so if your HDD is nearly full, it will automatically delete your oldest install without you knowing about it. You will then have to reinstall the game if you want to play it again, because maybe the single player DLC came out or something.Fortunately you only have to install a game once. But ouch - that's a huge difference.[/spoiler]
There's no way NBA 2K14 took 59 seconds to install. Are you talking about a full install, or until you can play but restricted to two teams in quick play?Originally Posted by Derrick01
No idea. When I installed most of my games on the day I got my PS4 I was stunned that it took about a minute for each of them. Even NBA 2k took 59 seconds and that was 50gb. It's huge that they figured out how to do this so quickly when both consoles are forcing mandatory installs now.
It can. You can do anything while the game is installing (other than playing another disc based game obviously).To be fair, players are able to play digital games off their hard drives, while a disc game is installing on the Xbox One. I don't know if PS4 can do the same though.
I thought that was what this comparison was about, the time it takes to put in a disk to the time you can start playing the game.There's no way NBA 2K14 took 59 seconds to install. Are you talking about a full install, or until you can play but restricted to two teams in quick play?
I was partly joking, as well as being sarcastic at the whole notion of "MS revealed more games, they are more games focused than Sony!"Originally Posted by BeastLeeAdams
Really? Stop with the BS, esically since Microsoft has revealed more first party games than Sony has.
It's mildly annoying that it does it seemingly almost every time I click on the trophy tab but not only does it take about 3 seconds you can still browse your list while it's syncing. The more important "feature" for me is that the PS4 can load your entire trophy list in seconds. Mine is really long too but it'll load all of it in about 20 seconds.Originally Posted by Galvanise_
Glad Sony have sorted their shit out.
Only seems like trophy sync would annoy the fuck out me now.
Same here, man. I don't know what they're talking about in that report. My NBA2K14 and FIFA took what seemed like 10 minutes as well. I think they're confusing "ready to play" with installed, because after about 40 seconds I could play as the Heat and Spurs, but that was it. It was not the full game. Same with FIFA.Originally Posted by Rockandrollclown
People really have under 1 minute on PS4 installs? Are we talking full installs? I think mine might be broken. When I turned on NBA 2K14 I had to wait like 10 minutes for the full install and all features to be available to me in game. Or does install mean playable here?
the real test is what is GraveRobber's time to load his list.Originally Posted by Derrick01

NBA 2k only takes a long time to install if you do the quick game while it installs in the background. I let all of my games auto install on the dashboard after I put the disc in and when I got my replacement PS4 I timed NBA 2k14. It took 59 seconds exactly to fully install the game.There's no way NBA 2K14 took 59 seconds to install.

My achievements now do some sort of synch now too, it also takes longer to load the damn achievement app.Originally Posted by Derrick01

That was debunked. You get prompted to delete things, but you choose what will go.Originally Posted by phuturist
I guess you are not aware that there is no manual data management on the Xbone, so if your HDD is nearly full, it will automatically delete your oldest install without you knowing about it.

Voice commands and looking at your junk, apparently.Originally Posted by RaikuHebi
Does the XBone do anything better than the PS4? Anything?
The PS4's not installing everything, just enough so that you can start playing while the rest of the game installs in the background. Either the XBOne's disc streaming/file system isn't efficient enough yet, or it just can't spare the overhead to run a game, a background install and three operating systems at the same time.Originally Posted by Senor Kami
Craziness is PS4 installing everything in less than a minute. My PC doesn't even operate like that for anything more than like 200 mb.
It's nicer, actually, since you can actually control the volume levels of your Skype call and the game/whatever is on your TV screen independently of each other.I do, but that's not as nice as it being integrated into the console.
installed enough to be playable.Originally Posted by Rockandrollclown

Partially. I was basically throwing the same argument that gets brought up every now and then in those pre-launch threads of 'Sony drops the ball' by the whole 'MS has more games, they're more game focused!' one-sided perspective.I think he was being a bit sarcastic lol..relax.
OK, they initial paragraph is confusing, but they clarify later on:Same here, man. I don't know what they're talking about in that report.

Kind of misleading, since the first line saysOur test was how long it takes to launch the game from the time you insert a disc, with a normal console connected to the internet.
And of course, they go on to say both take around the same to do a full installWe wanted to test the install times of both new consoles, so we plugged a PS4 into an Xbox One's TV input and watched them race to install a game.
Remember that this is only a test of how long the games initially take to install. Once the games are fully installed, they take about the same amount of time to boot up on either console.
Yea, no way that's even close to being true. It took nearly 3 quarters of the game plus a long ass load for it to get close to finishing for me on PS4. For the most part I'm not against a small initial installation, but some of these updates are shocklingly large. There's no reason Battlefield 4 should be installing hundreds of megabytes after launch. I'm pretty apalled at all of the installs and updates that are becoming prevalent.There's no way NBA 2K14 took 59 seconds to install.

This isn't exactly true. The XB1 will tell you that your HDD is full, and will ask you what you want to delete to make room.Originally Posted by phuturist

Like I said, don't play the game when you're installing it. Take a piss break and let it sit on the PS4 UI and it'll install before you finish in the bathroom.Yea, no way that's even close to being true.

makes you wonder how long it takes to install on the xbox one since I only see nba live 14 on that list.Yea, no way that's even close to being true.
