Wow....what an improvement. No more painstakingly slow mandatory installs.

Assassins Creed 4 : 0:13........0.o What is this wizardy?

I used to take toilet/tea breaks while games installed on my 360,now i will barely have time to yawn.

Lwhit64569d ago

Less than a minute to install the game...

And less than a few seconds to start playing a game?

FUUUUUUUUUTUUURRREEEE

shivvy244569d ago

Ahh I remember them ps2 days when loading would take like 2-3minutes :)

Bathyj4569d ago (Edited 4569d ago )

Pfft, I remember the Commodore 64 tape deck that would take half an hour and you sometimes had to leave the room because it didnt like you sitting there watching it while it loaded.

I swear to god, sometimes you would just poke your head back in the door to check and then it would crash.

kreate4569d ago

The full install isn't 13 seconds. That's how long you have to wait before you can start playing the game. The rest of the install is done in the background while you play.

From Kotaku:

"I should note that this is part of the PS4's ability to stream games as they download or install, so the installation time isn't how long it takes to install all 36 gigs of Knack, but how long it takes to transfer enough to get the game going. The rest of the data gets copied in the background as long as the disc is in the drive."

GarrusVakarian4569d ago

I get that but the time it takes to play the game (the important part) is 13 seconds......that is all i care about, it can do whatever it wants in the background. For 360 and PS3 you HAD to wait until it was finished.

Boody-Bandit4569d ago (Edited 4569d ago )

How's that anything but a positive?

Riderz13374569d ago

As long as I can play the game in 13 seconds I don't care if it's partially installed or fully installed. Downloading while playing is epic =)

kingPoS4569d ago (Edited 4569d ago )

Swap load with install; It makes no disconcernable difference anymore. All that matters is that a game plays right away.

It just works.

I used to have to make a sandwich and grab a soda. lol Capcom.

Ok just kidding, I don't make sandwiches. I buy them.

FamilyGuy4569d ago

And people were getting mad about my comment on that guy that got the X1 early from Target. It took 15mins of install time before he could start playing his brand new game, which is horrible. I'm glad Sony isn't putting us through that BS.

AC4 13 seconds? What the.... I'll let you know in 6 hours!

Man, this is all good news indeed.

ZBlacktt4569d ago (Edited 4569d ago )

I have these games sitting on my desk just 2 feet from me for a few days now. Just looking at them. Doesn't even seem real to be honest. I mean 7 years ago seems so long ago since the last time. :(

Brutallyhonest, Be safe my brother. West Coast here!

Boody-Bandit4569d ago

3 hours 17 minutes 48 seconds for me!

MasterCornholio4569d ago

Dang I'm going to to time that myself.

GreenRanger4569d ago

No more making sandwiches during installs for me.

thereapersson4569d ago

Or smoking cigs, ala Solid Snake...

ZBlacktt4569d ago

You can always go back to playing GTAV, lol. Then you can take a shower, make something to eat and then the game should be ready to play.

Cacabunga21d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot20d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose21d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE21d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername20d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy21d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde20d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8620d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8620d ago (Edited 20d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300021d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle20d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7720d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
