Taking cues from one of the PlayStation 4′s key new features, Naughty Dog’s You must login or register to view this content. will be playable as it downloads, should you opt for the (no doubt massive) digital version.


Speaking to You must login or register to view this content., Naughty Dog said that when the game releases in the middle of June, you’ll be able to start playing it when the game gets to about 50% downloaded.


We’d suspect this isn’t nearly the same tech that the PS4 uses, and that there’ll be an initial download and install followed by the rest of the game which simply downloads in the background.


Regardless, this is to celebrated. The two level demo is huge, so we can only imagine how big the full game will be – the option to start before it’s all downloaded is great.

Like TSA i think this is just a teaser to show how the ps4 will kind of work, although i think the ps4 version of downloading and playing will be better. i assume the 1st level or two will need to be downloaded while the next level downloads which means for it to download in the background it will be completely offline like some other games can actually already do, but who knows.

Do a barrel roll!
Just like WoW, you can download while youre playing but you have an initial download for the start of the game ect.
