I was contacted by a beta tester, who still had his disc and wanted to share it. I had almost forgotten about it, until a couple of weeks ago, when I had to relaunch the website under a new domain.

Over the years I came in contact with a couple of people who claimed to have it, but in the end nothing was accomplished. One thing I couldn't find anywhere was the Diablo2 expansion beta. Great news.While working on the Diablo Evolution website I got a lot of pre-release material for Diablo1 and 2. So it sounds like our days of lengthy game installs are over with the PS4. And if there is idle time, the system starts to copy the remaining data to the drive.Ĭerny continues, “And what that means is after an hour or two, the game is on the hard drive, and you have access, you have dramatically quicker loading… And you have the ability to do some truly high-speed streaming.” Cerny says that any data accessed on the disc is automatically put on the hard drive. In a Gamasutra interview, PS4 lead system architect Mark Cerny explained that you’ll only need to download a portion of data to start playing, and the rest comes down in the background.īut what about the PS4’s Blu-ray drive? Cerny admits that Blu-ray is “a bit slow for next-gen games,” but the system will still use the drive.Īnother side of PlayGo has to do with the Blu-ray and how data is accessed. Sony has the same plan for the PS4 with their PlayGo system, which will even download digital titles as they’re being played. The games industry is gradually moving toward games downloads, putting game data directly onto harddisks for quick and easy access.
