[Famitsu] Issue #995 thread of mu

Mandoric · 03:55 AM

No one's posting ANYTHING worthwhile; Imas is begging off actual news duty, and apart from that there's one guy recycling old news and another saying "well this is what I remember before I put it back on the newsstand shelf..."

This stuff is all unconfirmed, but multiple sources have already said it, and it's not important enough to fake.

DATES
PS3 Armored Core For Answer 3/19

DS SimCity DS 2 3/19
DS Gundam 00 3/27 (same week at first season ends)

PSP Code Geass 3/27 (one week before second season airs)

DETAILS
Devil May Cry 4 (PS3)
* HDD install is 4900MB.
* Save files are 3392KB.
* Some variety of PSN support.
* 5.1 LPCM audio.

I thought EA Japan got shut down right after the release of the first one?

What's the deal, man? You left out the news everyone was really waiting for this week.

Call of Duty 4 DS - 3/13!

Nah. EA Japan still exists as a publishing entity. Their internal development teams were eliminated, though.

EA's marketing department didn't, they just changed the number on the box.

"* HDD install is 4900MB."

Is that the biggest HDD install thus far?

Pity to be an Arcade sku owner

For seamless no loading gameplay I'll take it. PSN support too? the more I hear the better it sounds.

duckroll · (12-26-2007, 03:47 AM)

This is one of the best issues of Famitsu yet.

Pai Pai Master · (12-26-2007, 03:47 AM)

Home trophies please.

4.9GB is HUGE, but it is supposed to be no load times.

HDD install only on PS3 version.

Good thing I didn't pick up that dirt cheap 20GB SKU and splurged for the 60

Bebpo · (12-26-2007, 03:50 AM)

Is there no issue next week due to new years?

duckroll · (12-26-2007, 03:52 AM)

I require DBZ Burst Limit & Naruto PS3 infos.

If there is any.

Corran Horn · (12-26-2007, 04:05 AM)

Guess its time with this game and divx to upgrade my HDD into a nice large size...

Troidal · (12-26-2007, 04:06 AM)

Sounds like a snoozefest if you don't care about DMC4 :-p

Get back to work Troidal!

It should be worth it if there's no loading times.

Wario64 · (12-26-2007, 04:28 AM)

Shane on 1Up Yours said that DMC4 has like no load times after you install it...even when you transition from one huge outside environment area to a huge indoor environment...instant loading

How long should this take to install?

A metric hour.

Why are you referring to yourself in third person, Mangod?

That's cool as shit though. I'm all for games that will let us PS3 owners truly use the HDD.
The DMC4 info is simply full of win and a day 1 purchase.

IT'S OVER 9000!!!! Wait...it's not.

ZealousD · (12-26-2007, 04:34 AM)

When the total installation time to install a game exceeds the amount of time saved from not having load times, is it really worth it anymore?

DantesWrath · (12-26-2007, 04:35 AM)

21 mins.

When you can go do something while it's installing and save all that time when playing, sure.

Uh, yes. You can take a shower, make dinner, do whatever you want while it is doing its thing, and once it's done you never have to worry about your experience being interrupted.

beerbelly · (12-26-2007, 04:39 AM)

Damn, MS is stupid to not allow develops to provide the option to install into HD. tsk tsk

That is preview code. A mod on capcom forums said it was 21 min.

klee123 · (12-26-2007, 04:40 AM)

Well, when you wanna play through the game multiple times, the HDD install function comes in handy too.

Supposed to be 45 minutes, right? And it plays a video while it installs I think. I didn't pay much attention to that thread but that's what I remember.

All in all, a pretty lame issue of Famitsu.
