don't you mean 20 minutes installation time? or something particular?
You'd have to be idiotic to let 20 minutes installation dissuade you from buying a game.
Thanks for spotting that :-)
If you have the 20 gig PS3 then this is a quarter of your harddrive space. If more games start to do this then you will see some major problems with storage space for some people.
and this is why sony made it so you can upgrade your HDD to a bigger size. If you have a 20gb you need to upgrade anyway.
I really don't see the problem with the 20 mins simply cause its not like its harming the game in anyway. People have been waiting for this game for several months now. 20 more mins isn't going to kill anyone I believe.
Also if your a PC gamer then this is should not be a problem for you gamers.
That this is a console, not a PC, in which you do not want to install games....they are plug and play....the other one being that another system is acheiving almost exact load times without the extra 20 min install......
It is plug and play! Having it perform a completly automated job during the first run does not mean it's NOT plug and play.
yes it does
are people now looking down on the PS3 because it has 'Install' features in its games by saying it looks more like a PC now ?
Nice way to shoot down some nice gaming innovation...
It's 20 mins of INSTALL!!!! *****ing idiot!
And ps: You can install stuff on x360 too, but only in korea since they didn't get the "core" model (without hdd).
And installing to save tons of loadings is GREAT!
So if you're a 20gb PS3 owner, this game alone takes up 1/4 your hard drive. Wow that sucks.
Why does this suck? Because you went with the cheap version? Did you think you would be able to do EVERYTHING the bigger brother could do for LESS MONEY?
Your bad!
If you have the smaller HDD then you'll just have to realize that you can't store everything on it. You'll have to pick and choose and that's exactly what you get for the price point you bought into.
i'm sorry but this is stupid. the real reason is that because of bluray's slow loading times this would be the better option for ps3 users. sony has been keeping the slow load times for bluray as a dirty little secret. none of the games that have come out for ps3 need that much space and b/c of it they are repeating info on the disks several times to speed up loading times. this is another solution to remedy that problem. this is what happens when you get a new, unproven format forced on you.
Wow! That sure was full of mis-information and a whole bunch of lies!
"sony has been keeping the slow load times for bluray as a dirty little secret"
Sorry to tell you, this is no secret. As with ANY new media release, the first gen units are slow. This is known information and has been known since day one. Actually, since before it's release.
"none of the games that have come out for ps3 need that much space"
WRONG!!! Maybe you should quit allowing others to s***** feed you information. Let's take a look at Heavenly Sword. It uses just under 10GB of audio. It could be much less through heavy compression but who the hell wants that when you can have SUPERIOR audio with BR? True, the Kmart speakers you most likely listen to can't reproduce the difference but that's your problem. So, go out there in this big big world, learn what HD has to offer and actually learn what game DEVs are providing before you spread more lies.
"and b/c of it they are repeating info on the disks several times to speed up loading times. this is another solution to remedy that problem
DEVs have done this since the dawn of optical media. Nothing new. Try again.
"this is what happens when you get a new, unproven format forced on you."
1. There is nothing to prove. You only have two choices to choose from.
2. Nothing was forced on anyone. Don't like it? Don't buy it!
see how rabid sony's fanboys get when they are told the truth about their pieceof*****3? sony wanted to corner the video market by making the bluray format. bluray is an inferior high def format. i won't go into specifics but if you do some research on something other then a game forum you would know. the only reason for bluray's success is because of an ignorant public fueled by sony fanboys who will buy ANYTHING that Playstation puts out. YOU DO NOT NEED HD disks FOR GAMES YET - IF AT ALL!!!
the ONLY game that even SEEMS like it will truly take advantage of all that space is MGS4. and we'll see how much of that is for audio.
HD has been a WASTE for gaming. ok Heavenly Sword, 10gigs of uncompressed audio? i have never played a game on my BOSE surround system and said to myself, this isn't good enough. WASTE!!! your an idiot for buying (besides that game was a weak God of War clone)
the fact of the matter is, there is no immediate need for that much storage in games especially on disk. The decreasing prices of hdd's negate the need for that much disk space. if sony hadn't FORCED bluray on the consumer, the price of the ps3 would be much cheaper and sony would have an install base, unlike what they have now which is the most rabid, stupid, easily sold group of consumers that i have ever seen.
and don't dare use the "i need HD movies bit" do you really wanna see the pores in Anthony Hopkin's face? the only enjoyment i get out of hd is watching sporting events, NOT MOVIES. i personally don't like to be able to see makeup lines on my favorite actress's faces.
now, if you really wanna break down hd video, you don't need 50 gigs of disk space for an HD video. you can fit an HD movies on a dual layer DVD, you bough that expensive player, and are spending double for your disks so that you can have 75 hours of extra features.'
this is why this country is in bad shape, consumers who can only think in terms of BIGGER, AND MORE. that doesn't always equal better.
so enjoy all those extra hours of loading, and saving and installing on your ps3. guess what i can do? put the game in and play it right away!
They come in all shapes and sizes!
"see how rabid sony's fanboys get when they are told the truth about their pieceof*****3?"
Rabid? HAHAHA!!! Get it right knucklehead! I'm a Nintendo fanboy! Just because someone speaks the truth, doesn't make them a fanboy. "pieceof*****3" - Good way to make your point! I'm sure everyone is paying attention to how intelligent you are now!
"sony wanted to corner the video market by making the bluray format"
Really? Interesting! Was it same for Betamax? Oh wait, I forgot what your point was already....
"bluray is an inferior high def format"
That is certainly your opinion.
"i won't go into specifics"
That's because all your "specifics" would get shot down in a heartbeat. Both formats have good and bads.
"the only reason for bluray's success is because of an ignorant public fueled by sony fanboys"
Yeah...that's! Because EVERY SINGLE RETAIL STORE in the WORLD has a Sony fanboy standing in the player isle. Get a life!
"who will buy ANYTHING that Playstation puts out."
Hum...interesting comment. So it's PLAYSTATION that put out the Bluray technology? Not Sony? So only playstation makes BR players?
"YOU DO NOT NEED HD disks FOR GAMES YET - IF AT ALL!!!"
Go back and read, I already explained why you do. But seeing as how you think playstation is a company that invented Bluray, we already know how ignorant.
"the ONLY game that even SEEMS like it will truly take advantage of all that space is MGS4. and we'll see how much of that is for audio."
Yeah, FF13 is sure to be a small format game.
"HD has been a WASTE for gaming. ok Heavenly Sword, 10gigs of uncompressed audio? i have never played a game on my BOSE surround system and said to myself, this isn't good enough. WASTE!!! your an idiot for buying (besides that game was a weak God of War clone)"
Your OPINION of the game is worthless here. The FACT is HD audio is the future. If you can't the difference from compressed audio versus uncompressed audio on your BOSE system then you are either def or a complete liar.
"the fact of the matter is, there is no immediate need for that much storage in games especially on disk."
There's an echo in here?!?!?!
"if sony hadn't FORCED bluray on the consumer"
HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"unlike what they have now which is the most rabid, stupid, easily sold group of consumers that i have ever seen."
HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"and don't dare use the "i need HD movies bit" do you really wanna see the pores in Anthony Hopkin's face?"
Pores? Wow, you truly are ignorant in the ways of HD. You seem like nothing but a little kid or someone who simply can't afford new technology. Having moved forward with HD MANY years ago, I'll never go back and for many reasons.
"the only enjoyment i get out of hd is watching sporting events, NOT MOVIES"
Just more proof of how ignorant you are. Video is video. If you enjoy only sports in HD and not movie then you simply do not enjoy movies. Seriously, how dumb of a comment can this possibly be? Only footballs looks good in HD..... you are AMAZING!
"you can fit an HD movies on a dual layer DVD"
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!! Keep it comming bud! Sure, you can COMPRESS it down in size all you want. You ever watch that on a screen greater then 40 inches? If you say yes AND you think it's lossless then you are a damn liar. Plus, you forget about HD audio!!!!
"this is why this country is in bad shape"
Oh yeah! "this country" (no idea which one you are talking about since Sony is a Japanese company, you did now that right?) is going to hell because of consumer HD!!!
"consumers who can only think in terms of BIGGER, AND MORE. that doesn't always equal better."
Ah! The first true comment out of that ignorant mouth of yours. Yes, that is true. However in the case of HD, it is SO MUCH MORE then 720X480!!!
"guess what i can do? put the game in and play it right away"
So can PS3 owners.... more ignorance.
you just proved my point, you referred to yourself as a fanboy - idiot.
i get you now, you're the guy who buys the "best" of everything - the most expensive cables, the biggest tv, and the most expensive system... then you justify your purchases by saying how everything that is not that which you own is inferior or stupid. you're the a55hole that buys a Lamborghini, and drives to Wal~Mart. you, my friend don't understand that having the highest spec sheet does not equal the most enjoyable experience. basically, sony jumped the gun with the ps3, most gamers don't even go online nor do they even know that their ps2 is a dvd player!!!
know the industry my friend. this is like putting out a Corvette in the 1850's. there aren't enough paved road yet!
in case you don't understand the analogy..... i say it simpler,
most people don't own hi-def tv's, high speed internet, or surround sound systems. the ps3 is a machine that is FAR to ahead of it's time, which is why there is such a small install base compared to 360 and especially nintendo. Now because of this, developers who need to earn a living are trying to utilize that which they do not need. point blank, hi def is early, bluray is WAY too early (dvd became mainstream in the last 24 months)
the consumer does not want it, the consumer wants simplicity!!!! why do you think the Wii is so successful? Microsoft is trying to find a balance between high-specs for the hard-core and user-friendliness for the casual (they aren't doing a great job but they recognize the need at least)
this may hurt, but - the future is not bluray, the future is digital distribution, which will not take up 50+gb of space.
I'm done with you
"you just proved my point, you referred to yourself as a fanboy - idiot."
I take it you didn't "get it". So aside from your ignorance you have no sense of humor...ok.
"i get you now, you're the guy who buys the "best" of everything - the most expensive cables, the biggest tv, and the most expensive system"
Wrong again!
"then you justify your purchases by saying how everything that is not that which you own is inferior or stupid."
I never said any such thing. It's YOU who claim what is "inferior or stupid". In FACT it was YOU who used those exact words.
"you're the a55hole that buys a Lamborghini, and drives to Wal~Mart."
I smell a pothead....does anyone else smell this crap?
"you, my friend don't understand that having the highest spec sheet does not equal the most enjoyable experience."
This is what I do understand. Your compressed H.264 burned to DVD movies look like ABSOLUTE CRAP on my 47" and 60" TVs. Let me repeat that....looks like CRAP! That has nothing to do with any understanding on my part. With that said, the same compressed movie looks fine on smaller screens.
You ASSume (notice the caps?) what I do and do not know. Then you rant based on fictional data. The end result is, I know what looks good to me and have what looks good to me. You can't seem to deal with that. You expect to rant about how HD is ONLY GOOD for sports?.....you're an idiot, plain and simple.
"most gamers don't even go online"
That's what you call an idiot statement. In itself the comment is true but it leaves a false impression. While MOST gamers do not go online...MANY MANY MANY gamers do.... see how that works? It's called spreading propaganda.
"nor do they even know that their ps2 is a dvd player!!!"
That's just ignorance. On your part. Also, why are you talking about the PS2?
"know the industry my friend"
....or something.
"most people don't own hi-def tv's..."
HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!! This proves it! You are nothing but a dumb, stupid, VERY YOUNG child. Let's go back to a time you know absolutely nothing about. The release of the first color TV! WHY on EARTH would TV stations buy into this crap? I mean COME ON!!! NO ONE even has a color TV yet. Two years later...STILL, hardly anyone has a color TV. Why are they doing this? It's pointless! You see all the dumb ranting there? That's you.
"the consumer does not want it"
Oh no? You better tell everyone that does want it. I mean, they must be confused because YOU know what they really want.
"why do you think the Wii is so successful?"
Innovation.
"this may hurt, but - the future is not bluray"
Bluray has nothing to do with the future. HD is the future. Bluray is nothing more then a medium to deliver HD.
"the future is digital distribution"
Wow, you are CLUELESS. First of all, that digital distribution, looks like crap when compressed. Secondly, here's where I shove your own foot in your mouth with your own words and I quote:
"most people don't own.....high speed internet"
How exactly do you expect the "future" to be digital distribution when so many people don't have high speed internet? In addition to that, high speed internet is defined as ANYTHING over 256 kbit/s of which that CAN NOT support HD content. Only a VERY TINY TINY TINY percent of broadband users can support HD content.
"I'm done with you"
Funny, this is the second time I roasted your rear. It wasn't very hard either.
you're an idiot, just because you copy and paste MY post and make a statement behind my sentences doesn't make your points vaild - it makes you a *****-rider.
You haven't really made any points of your own, and the facts are the facts, check any data that i've stated - it's all true
don't be made because you were tricked into thinking bluray was necessary for games and that you don't know the industry, it's ok - you are not the only sheep
Don't forget though that anyone with a screw driver can upgrade their HDD on the PS3 so it's not really all that bad folks. Just get a 200 GB 7200 RPM drive and watch your system fly
This is a console, not a PC. I hate PC gaming because you have to constantly upgrade your system to play the latest games. I have always preferred consoles because you dont have to worry about this. I think they had to do this because the blu ray laser in the PS3 is too slow to get the data out of the disk fast enough.
Then you shouldn't have been cheap and bought the 20GB PS3.
If you went cheap and bought the cheap PS3 then YES you'll have to upgrade it eventually. Buyers remorse is NO REASON for the rest of the PS3 user base to not have installable games.
If you have a 60GB+ PS3 and are still running out of room.....BOO HOO!!!!!! Poor baby can't have EVERYTHING on their PS3? Gees people, if you want to store EVERYTHING then you're going to have to pay for it! Buy a bigger HDD and install it. The instruction booklet tells you how!!!
just upgrade the HDD and you are set. It costs about as much as a game now anyways for 120+ gb drive.
People complain off of stuff only because they cant find anything else.
Another thing is.. GO OBAMA! lol
Oh yeah, I'm sure there are TONS of voters here!
Screw Obama!
GO ANYONE ELSE!!!
But chill out, you see what politics make people like?
That's because there was NO POINT to your post.
So you got a post that had NO POINT in return.
Just read the first part.. People complain about stuff that arent even important just because they want somthing to complain about. Why would people complain about somthing thats been there since the start of the PS3? Its not like its the first time its installed a game or took awhile for some things like download or install..
You see this is the reason I dont even listen to reviews from gaming sites, I doubt anyone has complained about this yet the gaming sites would of course blow this out of proportion.
Thats my point.
If that was your point then you should have said that! HAHAHA!!!
"People complain off of stuff"
Is that even english?
MICKEY MOUSE FOR PREZ!!!!
you had common sense.. srry for assuming tho..
About the english thing, nuh duh its english, did I used a word you dont understand or somthing?
And Tigger is way better than Mickey!
I thought you had common sense.. sorry for assuming though..
Let me correct it for you:
Is that even PROPER English?
HAHAHA!!! You're a laugh a minute...err hour...
this guy isohaven is an a55hole who will be contrary to anything anyone says.
GO OBAMA!!!!
Eh, your just pissed because I ripped you a new rear hole in another news story.
It's ok, you'll heal eventualy.
Does Capcom even need to explain the benefits of the 20 minute install? I mean we all know it helps make the game better on the PS3. I guess they felt the need to explain it since all the 360 fanboys are bashing it as if it's a bad idea. They must feel bad that they got the inferior version.
*waits for the fanboys to give me a frowny face/1 star to further prove my point*
I'll give you a smiley face, PS3 ftw! +D
You are right, there really is no need to explain it....many PS3 games have had to install files to the HDD to make the load times comparable with 360, so why should DMC be any different ?
Talk about being a fanboy. This article said the PS3 version is the same as the 360 one except you have to waste 20 minutes of your life waiting for the game to start. You then flipped it around and said the 360 version is inferior because of this? You are an idiot that is overly biased towards the PS3.
If the two versions are the same yet one loads faster dosnt that make the other one "inferior" if you want to put such a strong word? I wouldnt say like WOW thats a crazy option over the 360 version, but I do see it as convenient.
this is what kaz has been saying the whole time the ps3 is a computer. lol
How about Uncharted. Besides the first load at the start, this game has virtually no load times so there really isn't any excuse for it. Seems like a port game to me, fashioned for the 360 with no optimization for Playstation 3 forcing you to use up resources.
You do realize the game runs much faster on PS3 and was also built from the ground up. Therefore the PS3 version is actually more optimized than the 360 counterpart. If anything, the 360 version is a port of the PS3 version, the game was intended to be a PS3 exclusive from the beginning.
please do us all a favor and learn one or two basic things about a game before deciding to bash it with your xbot 360 fanboyishly-girl gibberish.
Chucking, there are times when you just have to admit that not *everything* has to be perfect on the PS3 and to stop looking for something or someone to blame whenever things are not as you'd like it to be!
You keep mentioning Uncharted as if it was the first game ever to have zero load times and seem to think every PS3 game from now on should have zero load times. Well there were games on the original Playstation which had zero load times, just as there were on the PS2, but they were the minority. Why? Because it all depends on the design of the game and if the devs aim for no load times, however and the vast majority of games are not suited to having zero load times.
Well is anything chucking has always been a PS3 fanboy, yet still has enough common sense to see the truth....
Uncharted destroys DMC as far as technical features goes.....now that initial loading time you mention is probably uncharted installing to the HDD, but i'm sure it didn't last 20 mins or was 5 gigs......
It's just obvious that DMC was developed for a middle ground....both versions of the game look identical, but still not great.....both 360 and PS3 have better looking games that run better.......fact is to get the performance up to par with 360 they had to install 5 gig of data onto the HDD to make up for slow blu-ray....face it.....
Games developed for the blu-ray have a smaller initial install, or no install at all....as they have kept the slow seek/read times in mind at all times through development....
Dumb. Thats no major slap in my face. I am just restating what has already been said. I don't know about you, but if all games made you load 5gigs to the hard drive and with all the PS3 games that I have, I would have already filled up my 60gig hard drive. I just want us all to benefit from better game development. If we say fine to this, it is saying fine to all developers to do it. Just wait when that 50gig game comes out that requires a hard drive install. I know I have the option of installing a larger hard drive, but that future proofs nothing at this rate.
"Just wait when that 50gig game comes out that requires a hard drive install."
You know, I don't think the amount of space required of the HDD is related to the size of the PS3 game. I say this because from the very first PS3 game with a HDD install option to the most recent game (DMC4), the size has always been 4-5GB max. Why not 6GB or 7GB or more? Why is it almost always 5GB regardless of the game?
Because of this, I think Sony has set a 5GB limit for devs to use in PS3 games (for practical reasons). What do you think?
He does have a point. If DEVS can spit out Uncharted as it is, then DMC4 really has no excuse. It's a good game but it's no block buster. It almost seems as if they somehow kept the same old garbage engine???
With talk of FF13 hardly having any load times, some rumors being NO load times I guess we'll see then exactly how much HDD space is required for a TOTAL KICK Axx GAME!!!!
its all about how seemless the the gameplay is by keeping the user/gamer flowing.
Its not like it has to load everytime u switch on.
I favoured xbox 1 back in the day even tho i had ps2 b4.
360 fanboy, "hah! ours has slighlty more load times" shut up school boys.
as a child during the ps1 era, loading really fustrated me.
ffs this seems to be a bigger deal than a firmwire update - download.......install.........its actualy quite lengthy
its about time we move on - shorter load times PLEASE!
