The Old PlayStation Thread | *NEW THREAD IS UP*

How Long Your First Install Will Take On PS4 And Xbox One

Assassin's Creed IV:
Xbox One (offline, no update): 5 minutes 50 seconds
Xbox One (with update, fastest connection): 7 minutes 2 seconds
Xbox One (with update, 10Mbps connection): 10 minutes 32 seconds
PS4: 42 seconds

The rest of these were tested on our office Wi-Fi which is around 9-11Mbps. It may have been faster on a wired connection, but you can compare your own connection speed here. These are our results:

Need For Speed Rivals:
XBO: 09:25 (including update)
PS4: 00:32

Just Dance 2014:
XBO: 08:48 (including update)
PS4: 00:45

NBA Live 14:
XBO: 16:26 (including update)
PS4: 00:35

FIFA 14:
XBO: 16:06 (including update)
PS4: 00:34

Madden 25:
XBO: 9:38 (including update)
PS4: 00:38

Didn't know Playgo was that good :wow:

I remember GT5 taking 40 minutes to install on PS3.

Think Im gonna trade in NFS and Killzone; I dont see myself playing KZ online and NFS was somewhat disappointing for me. The cops are just overboard, I spend majority of my time trying to outrun them as opposed to racing and completing objectives

 I think Im gonna pick up something for the Vita or 3DS, thinking Ys: Memories of Celceta or Zelda LBTW.

Yeah, that one took me forever to beat. I still eventually gotta go back and clear master, but only had to clear one level to plat so that all I did before I started playing COD.

I should have made it clear it was talking about the Playgo system
It's whatMark Cerny mentioned at the reveal, where you only install what you need to start the game then the rest installs in the background inlcuding the updates.

Both systems do it but one just does it much better.



From the article

Both the Xbox One and PS4 require all games to be installed from the disc, due to the increasing size of games and the relatively low speed of optical drives. So both consoles have a feature that allows you to launch a game as soon as enough content is installed to begin running it, while the rest of the data continues to install in the background. Our 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.

We tested six multiplatform games on both consoles and every time, the PS4 was under a minute while the Xbox One install was several minutes long and required downloading an update before beginning the installation. When you include downloading those updates for each Xbox One game that happen in the background on PS4, the install times can get as high as fifteen minutes before you can even launch the 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.

On PS4, after inserting a disc, you'll be shown a progress bar that ends when you're able to launch the game, and if there's a day-one update, it downloads in the background, and you can install it when you want to play online or whatever the case may be for that update.

On Xbox One, you insert a disc and are shown a progress bar showing the percentage of the full installation, and when enough is installed to run the game, you'll see a message that says "Ready to Start!" The only difference is that the installation from the disc doesn't seem to start until you've downloaded and installed the update.

Now, there's another big difference here. Both consoles will let you know when the game is ready to launch. But once you get into the game, some parts may not be finished installing. For ACIV and Battlefield 4, that would mean the multiplayer modes (on both platforms). However, it seems that Xbox One lets you launch a game even before some singleplayer content is ready. I tested this with Madden 25 on Xbox One. Once the game was "ready to start" most modes like Connected Franchise or Practice were locked off until the game was completely installed. However, after installing the same game on PS4, those modes were playable after the initial install, which took 38 seconds.

Oh ok I know what you mean now.

I think I'm still leaning on selling the PS and keeping the xbone.. even though pretty much all my homies are buying or have already bought the PS4. Two of them wanted to get the xbone after seeing that pic of Ryse with pronhub snapped on the side

But those install speeds for the playgo or whatever feature is pretty crazy

And yes @nawghtyhare  the frys deal is better.. 2 dollars cheaper is a better deal. If you got one around you buy it otherwise the Gamestop deal will be good as well.

Dont play it if you are easily frustrated or you dislike self-mutilation.

Play it and realize how sissified modern game design has become. Use a guide and summon players for particularly hard bosses. Death is a lesson in this game. Learn from them and get better and you'll get a sense of satisfaction not found in games in a long time.

Game of the Generation.

Hmm... so the time "saved" by using voice controls over buttons is lost through long install times?
