PS4 lets you play your digital games on any PS4 console.

Speaking at Develop, Neil Brown, Sony’s R&D senior team leader, outlined the process that lets you access your games on other machines at other people’s houses: “You can visit your friends house you can log into your account and play any game from your digital library, which is good. But how useful is that if it takes half a day to download the game you want to play? With Play As You Download you get much quicker access to at least the first section of the game so you can start playing quicker. So this makes a digital library a practical option in the real world.” He also explained more about how the same system means you’ll never have to wait for games to install. Instead you can play instantly but still benefit from the faster loading and streaming from PS4′s hard drive thanks to more background processes: “A similar system also works on Blu-ray, chunks are automatically copied to the hard drive in the background. This means that after the first few minutes your game can rely on having faster read speeds from the hard drive. Which provides a better experience for players, and this is a completely background process for the player. They don’t have to wait for anything to install before playing the game. The game will launch as soon as the disk has been put in the drive.” wrote:

In Sony we trust.

Now this feels like Gen 8 technology. Thank you basedsony.

I feel like this is way to get more people to go digital, and then once everything is digital Sony as well as MS and Nintendo will employ the DRM restrictions like Steam; just my theory but that scenario would be pretty ironic.

just continue you copy every feature steam has and you'll be fine -_-

this isnt new technology

I hate digital. Can't believe it's the future. What's next, foods will be replaced by pills?

Not a bad idea. It would be much easier to feed 7 billion people with synthetic 'food' pills. It would shut up the crazy vegans, vegetarians, PETAns, animal rights activists (who typically only seem to know Chinese laws and standards), people obsessed with African kids, and various other loud groups of people.

Also, what's going on with the trophies? Is that saying Knack has 150 trophies, but no platinum?

Pretty ridiculous jump. Digital game libraries are still optional so don't worry you'll still be able to get buttfucked by retailers.

Take it easy on the peasant race, we learn in small doses.

You just don't get it do you? I don't think you ever did.

The ambiguity of your reply doesn't really help you. All I'm saying is that comparing Digital to food pills is a pretty exaggerated and flawed analogy.

"I don't think you ever did"

We don't have a history of debating this so I don't even see what you're getting at.

I was talking about the digital game library part. Sure it's optional now, but that doesn't stop the companies from trying to make it the standard.
