The amount of data that has to be saved before you can start will vary per title. Cerny said that for the launch game he directed, Knack , users should only have to wait 10s of seconds to play the game.
After that, as you play, the game will stream more content to the console's GB hard drive. Knack will use 37GB of space overall, as noted on the game's box. Obviously, it won't take many games to fill the console's hard drive. Cerny said that there had been some internal discussions at Sony about having the PS4 auto-delete installed data from games that players hadn't used in a while.
They decided against it, figuring that gamers would never want to feel 'blindsided' and would prefer to make their data management decisions manually. Probably a good choice! The disc installation is required on PS4 because the console is not designed to read games off of discs. It's not a PlayStation issue. It's a physics issue. The machine may have a Blu-Ray drive that's about three times faster than the PS3 and sixteen times as much memory, but it's still more expedient for the PS4 to read data from its own hard drive.
Cerny said his team had heard too many complaints from current-gen developers about having to wait to load in new levels of games. Putting the data on the readily-accessible hard drive alleviates that. Not surprisingly, Microsoft's Xbox One requires installation from Blu-Ray, too, and only runs games off the hard drive.
But the nature of disc based games is not without its upsides — going physical sometimes means savings, the ability to sell and trade, and a lack of reliance on the internet. Lover of games, tech, nature, and strange electronic music.
