Report: PS4 teases impatient players with game preloading in April

4.4
Come April, PlayStation fans can enjoy the same masochistic waiting game as Steam users when preloading comes to PS4. Sony itself has yet to confirm the feature but Sucker Punch, the studio behind Infamous: Second Son, said on Twitter that it's on the way this spring.

"No preload until April," said Sucker Punch, responding to Twitter users anxious to play the new Infamous. "[And] for North America, the PS Store will update at midnight PST, so 3AM EST."

Even when pre-ordering a digital copy of PlayStation 4, PS3 or PS Vita games through PSN, users still need to wait for games to actually hit their release dates to download them. Steam and Origin PC users can often download game files ahead of release so they can play the very second a game is officially available. Unfortunately would-be PS4 superheroes will still have to wait a few minutes to scratch their Infamous itch.

DNaDee lol @ xbox fanboys that think their console is going to magically get stronger. it's too weak, microsoft is trying so hard to keep people interested now that titanfall has flopped


Actually, the console isn't that bad. It is way more 'next gen' than the PS4 is.


So true, the One is an actual next gen console rather than just a theoretically speaking graphical upgrade. the system itself and the things you can do on it are much more innovative and forward thinking than the ps4. I love my ps4 dont get me wrong, but in that sense i do have to give it to microsoft.

Flopped? Show me the stats that it "flopped" and I'll believe you.


Two things, first, how has titanfall "flopped" at all? Like DucksRUs281 said, show us some statistics on that. Second the Xbox One can easily get significantly more powerful with the new DirectX update and with time developers will optimize their games for the system and almost every game will be running 1080p.


lmao yet another titanfall hater that has probably never played the game kids now days....


Xbox is great.I love it and I dont know anyone who has it and hates it.

I've been seeing a lot of hate recently on playstation, people really need to calm down because it's not that big of a deal with the problems being encountered.
