But what if you play the game so fast that it catches up to the download?
~woah~
And I don't think either system will have it work the way uses want.
I'm thinking start playing as soon as you start downloading here, but that's crazy.
that's rad as fuck. the only games i know that let you do that kind of shit are like, mmos.

You could do it with The Last of Us
I've always wondered if something like this is possible.

The MMO Tera has this feature in it. The game itself is around 20 gb and you can start playing it after about 2 gb have downloaded
Assassins Creed supports it too, on Steam. Had me confused when I got stuck in a loading screen because the rest of the game wasn't there yet :v:
I'm guessing it's going to be similar to Blizzard games where you have a minimum and optimal point.
It's a pretty cool feature I guess. Start the download but get into say a singleplayer campaign straight away, and then when you're finished that the multiplayer should be downloaded and you can get straight into that.

Who plays singleplay anymore nerd??
Just kidding, but yea this is probably how it will pan out. Hopefully Xbox One games no longer come with Multiplayer and Singleplayer discs.

A lot of MMOs do it. They also spends a considerable amount of time at each load screen downloading missing stuff. It works, but you have to wait a minute or two for what is usually a 15-20 second wait.
It streams content, if anyone is wondering how it works
Halo 2 Vista let you do this too, you could play while the game installs in the background.
The only thing I know that is familiar to this is spawning a prop in gmod from a mounted game which isn't actually downloaded, apparently it then downloads that prop.
