Ps4 requires disc to play games?

Since Ps4 wont do any of that drm stuff, does that mean you can install the games and play without the disc?

Thats the main reason I want an Xbox One, so I can play games without the disc in the drive. 

Oh no, woe is me I find to insert a disc to play a game. You sicken me OP, you are everything that is wrong with today's gamers. clyde46

lol you really want to install every game to a 500 GB harddrive? LMAO really?

I dont know, need more information from Sony.

It's precisely BECAUSE there is no DRM that Sony will almost assuredly require the disc to play. It might not need to read game data off of it (tha tis, it might allow you to install game assets to the drive for faster access), but you'll still need the disc.

And I'm with the OP on this one. As a PC gamer discs are a thing of the past, and I'm happy about that. Once you have your entire library a mouse click away, it's hard to go back to physically swapping discs.

Nah the PeasantStation 4 doesn't support that feature. Only on Xbox :cool:

Disk switching takes a twist next gen lol.

I got to have that laid back lifestyle, I dont think Ps4 would provide that for me. Switching discs is too hard for me since I like to switch games so fast. 

If Ps4 dont have that 24 hour check then I dont think they could allow you to play without a disc.

So?

I would rather have disc in the system and installs that decrease load times over what the hard drive alone could do, I've noticed it quite often the games I have downloaded from digital distribution on my ps3 load slower then If I had the disc and it had an install.
You achieve faster load times if your game is designed to draw information from two indipendent sources. *which is why halo 3 had so many issues*

As for that are you stupid? installs with no disc needed and no online registeration? people could just go around installing the disc and giving it to friends to install..etc...etc

The PS4 is cheaper for a reason, many things this console can't do. I also like how sony presents the ps4 with the PSEye as if its a package deal when it's not SMFH. http://www.joystiq.com/2013/06/11/playstation-eye-dualshock-controller-both-priced-59-for-ps4/?a_dgi=aolshare_twitter

You can play two games switch off one another on x1, of course this is many things you can do on the x1 and not on the ps4 so if you live in the digotal age x1 is definitely the console for you

[QUOTE="SerOlmy"]First of all constantly spinning the disk drive increases wear on the drive and will eventually burn it up, so you trolls need to STFU on that regard. It is one of the reasons I stopped buying retail games on the PC and always instal to the hard drive on my 360. Because 1) I get tired of listening to the constant drone of the drive spinning up/down, and 2) more wear means it is more likely to fail. So yeah installing to the hard drive (which has much longer lifespan in terms of usage/hours) is a big deal. To the original point, however, it is very likely that since there is no DRM or authentication, games require a disk check to play just like the current gen.clyde46

I am not disagreeing with that point. I am simply stating it is ALWAYS better to install the game to the HD if you can and only have to do a disk check then to have the console streaming all the data directly off the disk.

lol you really want to install every game to a 500 GB harddrive? LMAO really?

Its like the Xbox One was designed just for me. I was just thinking of Kingdom Hearts 3 then what do you know? I was announced for Xbox One.

You were announced for Xbox one? So that means I can't resell you, sorry, not worthy

Playing from HDD would be convenient but that would require online authentication like Xbox One. I would happily stick with disc based authentication.

Doesn't PS4 automatically install every game to HDD?

No TC, PS4 doesn't require check in every day to play your games, it also doesn't require authentication to make sure it's not borrowed traded rented or bought used.CJ_ofCamelot

Sony just lost my business. 

Pretty sure you can install the game to HDD, but might need the disk in the console to play

or you could download the game off psn.......campzor
