Infamous: Second Son |OT| Smells Like Beanie Spirit

All PS4 games run off the HDD (disc games are fully copied there), so that's a non-argument.

I thought that only a portion was copied there and the hard drive like caches the whole file size of the game but didn't actually copy the entire game. Or something like that.

This feels unclear so I guess I would describe it as the hard drive acts as though 50gb is installed on it but actually only copied 25gb for example.

Can anyone explain this? I could be very wrong about this.

Until digital can replicate the smell of freshly opened game box, I will never go digital.

Wait until you have kids. I haven't bought a new physical game since Lego Batman 2 for $15 in December 2012.

All digital or rental since then.

The ps4 copies the whole disc content locally on the hard drive, no matter the game. inFamous digital will be 24 GB on your machine whether it's retail or digital.

Then why does the disc continue to spin loudly when playing a game?

It shouldn't. When I play a disc game it spins up at the beginning but dies down almost immediately. The only noise I hear after that is the cooling fan. No disc noise. Are you sure you're not mistaking the noise of the cooling fan for the noise of the disc drive?

Any indications on the initial download buffer until PlayGo kicks in and you can get started? If ACIV was any indication, thinking 3-4GB?
 
Have there really been no leaked reviews? Not that I care for reviews. I already have my copy ordered and paid. Just surprised that there have not been the usual review leak or two
 
Physical all the way. Keep the beanie, sell the game once I've played it to death and got the plat.

And downloading 24GB of game puts a big dent in my monthly bandwidth.

I must have mistaken it for the fan noise like you said.

No worries, i've already discussed names with the misses.

She suggested 'Ellie' and I just smirked and agreed with her. Little does she know I only approve because of TloU, evillaugh.

Not sure why the kids would make me go digital though?
 
I smoke dashed into a vent that shoots you up, and I flew into a seagull, lol. Here's a GIF of it. I'm linking it because
I have on one of the vests you get from clearing a district, in case someone doesn't want to see what one looks like.

Spoiler this part. I didn't even know that you could
change clothes. :/
I was really trying to go into this as blindly as possible.

Edit: Vini you fool.

Sorry, I thought people would have known since there's a pre-order bonus with different vests.

Yeah, sorry. Just annoyed. I know it's only a vest, but it's partially what makes it exciting. Especially frustrating when people don't read the thread rules, or other people's posts.

Sorry Vini, I am just a little annoyed.

All good, I should've read the post. BTW this community is amazing. I don't think I've been on a better forum.

Anyway, back to Infamous talk.

Omg dude.

Regardless of preorder bonuses,
I didn't know you got different vests for completing different districts. That's completely new info and I would have loved to have experienced that firsthand.

One of the pre-order bonuses is new vests created by Seattle artists, not exactly a secret or a big deal.
See above.

Yeah, I shouldn't have mentioned how you get them, but I'm not spoiler tagging something that's a pre-order bonus, come on.
