Digital Foundry recently put together a video showing the graphical differences between the PS4 and PC versions of Battlefield 4. There's no detail on how big these chunks might be, too, or what happens if you have a criminally slow internet connection.The war of words on the internet has gone back and forth between gamers, with some saying 1080p and 60fps is an absolute necessity if developers want to be able to call their game next-gen, while others say they can’t see a difference in quality. What sort of constraints? Well, downloading individual levels for a linear shooter like Killzone: Shadow Fall would logically be easier than downloading the entire map of an open world game, and may allow you to start playing earlier. "There are some technical constraints goals related to this feature," CD Projekt boss Adam Badowski told Eurogamer, "but nothing extraordinary." The Witcher developer CD Projekt Red also previously discussed the feature's inclusion for the PlayStation 4 version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

"You're going to download a chunk of the game, get the menu and first level, and while you're playing the first level we can start downloading the second in the background," Killzone developer Guerrilla's technical director Michiel van der Leeuw explained in a new developer diary (thanks, OPM). Sony previously mentioned that you'll be able to play PlayStation 4 games while they're downloading, but this is the first time we've heard more specific details on how little you'll need to have on your hard drive. Download the digital copy of Killzone: Shadow Fall and you'll be able to start playing the game as soon as its first level and main menu are downloaded.
