I've been fighting this problem since the PS4 beta. I've downloaded this game probably 20-30 times. Reformatted my ps4 probably 10 times. Farthest I got?

ONCE. AND ONLY ONCE. Did it fully update the game and start. Only to freeze and lockup during the opening CGI movie, that is NOT SKIPPABLE. Game froze in the EXACT same spot in the movie, every time.

SOMEONE @ SE NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS A PROBLEM AND LOOK INTO IT.
There has been no official response to this error whatsoever.

Has anyone tried yanking the piece of crap Samsung drive out of their ps4 and trying the game on another HDD?
I think that's going to be my next step, I'm thinking this is a hardware issue. SE may not be able to help us.
