You Can Prioritize Your PS4 Installs Based On Single Or Multiplayer
Digital distribution is going to continue becoming more prevalent as we enter the next generation, along with increasingly large file sizes. The PS4 will allow players to dive into the action before a game is completely downloaded, and we saw a feature today that shows a further refinement on the idea.
During a UI demo, we saw what happens when you purchase Call of Duty: Ghosts. After going through the payment process, players are then asked whether they want to jump into the game's campaign or multiplayer. Depending on what you pick, the console will begin downloading the appropriate data. Ultimately, you'll get the entire game, but this intermediate step looks like it should get you into the part of the game you want to play faster.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
