Damn, a two-sandwich save file?

Diablos · (07-01-2008, 08:35 PM)

WTF? 2GB save? WHY

Unison · (07-01-2008, 08:35 PM)

What the fuck is it saving?

Iaido Sword · (07-01-2008, 08:35 PM)

Wat?

That's a lot.

PhatSaqs · (07-01-2008, 08:35 PM)

Geeez. So what are the benefits of this?

Loudninja · (07-01-2008, 08:35 PM)

Isn't that over the limit?

donkey show · (07-01-2008, 08:35 PM)

Time to start cleaning out the other fridge.

allreal · (07-01-2008, 08:36 PM)

maybe its 2000kb for the game save.

VaLiancY · (07-01-2008, 08:36 PM)

A gig per tit.

Custom characters, I'd assume.

MikeE21286 · (07-01-2008, 08:36 PM)

OMG.....that's insane.

burgerdog · (07-01-2008, 08:36 PM)

Er, I hope this is fake. I don't mind installs, but this is a shit ton of space ;/

MrHicks · (07-01-2008, 08:37 PM)

the fuck at that save file size

Maybe custom cloth damage model that carries over.

Cardon · (07-01-2008, 08:37 PM)

All this will be forgiven if Kratos is indeed a playable character in the game.

DMPrince · (07-01-2008, 08:37 PM)

That's not a lot...

Linkzg · (07-01-2008, 08:37 PM)

What the fuck? This is the first case when installing has got fucked up.

Is this optional of forced?

It is half of your hard drive space if you own a 20 gig PS3. It is a lot.

Scamco is simply abusing this feature, but it's not like it's their fault. Pandora's box was opened by the first game that allowed it.

Pristine_Condition · (07-01-2008, 08:38 PM)

Thats a lot of booby physics getting installed.

Doc Evils · (07-01-2008, 08:38 PM)

I'm going to need a few large subs.

Speevy · (07-01-2008, 08:38 PM)

Holy crap.

Cheeto · (07-01-2008, 08:38 PM)

Alright, so you won't need the disc to play the game, right?

Guy Legend · (07-01-2008, 08:38 PM)

Wow, good thing I'm not buying this.

[Nintex] · (07-01-2008, 08:38 PM)

Holy shit, it's almost 9000!!

I wonder how big the Xbox 360 save will be, poor Arcade/Core users.
Scamco has no shame.

sh4mike · (07-01-2008, 08:39 PM)

What amazes me is that the X360 version, which has identical content, fits on a DVD around 6.7GB.

Unison · (07-01-2008, 08:39 PM)

That's the price PS3 owners pay for better box art!

So not only is Namco competing with Capcom on female characters' breast sizes...

dallow_bg · (07-01-2008, 08:39 PM)

WTF

WTF

WTF

There must be a mistake with the save data

Gowans007 · (07-01-2008, 08:39 PM)

Wow that is one giant save file.

What about the 360 arcade users? there isn't a 2gb memorycard.

The save method can't be that different per platform, must be another hard drive only game?

Kai Ozu · (07-01-2008, 08:39 PM)

Happy I have a 120GB in my system.

captscience · (07-01-2008, 08:39 PM)

I haven't understood all the install hate lately but the size of this install is just plain ridiculous

GodofWine · (07-01-2008, 08:39 PM)

I thought there was a 5GB limit (which Im fine with).

And the 2GB save...indeed, as stated before, wtf are we saving??

BobTheFork · (07-01-2008, 08:39 PM)

Since the current limit is 5gigs and even MGS4 wasn;t allowed to go past that, I'll wait and see about this.

So they are caching the game entirely on disk?

_leech_ · (07-01-2008, 08:40 PM)

2GB save? Core 360 owners screwed?

Diablos · (07-01-2008, 08:40 PM)

also, wow @ 6.7GB. I mean the game is for 360 too, and 360 DVD's cannot be bigger than 7.4GB... so uh... is the install literally the whole game? I wonder.

Insane.

Skilletor · (07-01-2008, 08:40 PM)

I hope that's a MAX for the save...lol.

9gb for one game? Jeebus...

teepo · (07-01-2008, 08:40 PM)

mandatory?

Loudninja · (07-01-2008, 08:40 PM)

I thought there was a 5 gig limit?

Seriously

Perhaps a typo from 2MB?

Linkzg · (07-01-2008, 08:40 PM)

What if 6.7GB is just how much data is one the blu-ray?

must be.

This generation is so stupid.

I'd assume it's either not compressed or a different form of compression on the HDD.
