Good Idea : Bad Idea? DMC4 PS3 vs. 360. To Install Data or Play?
BS3 Owner | 4:37 PM on 02.07.2008 19 comments


Everyone's got an opinion. Valid or Not. Sane or Crazy.

-----------------------------------

It's been Hyped by Capcom :

"If you don't want to watch the 'Previously, on Devil May
Cry...' portion of the install process, go make a sandwich
and grab a soda, then come on back," Kramer joked.
"You're going to be spending some serious time with this
game, and we don't want you going hungry. Low blood
sugar will make you dizzy and you'll need to be focused
like an Alan Parsons Project to defeat the enemies in this
game.

"Wah! Have you ever played a PC game? At least we
aren't making you shuffle multiple discs into a ROM drive,
or continuously click 'Yes!' on a series of endless Windows
dialog boxes," the Capcom man continues, possibly
shuffling the install-less yet basically identical 360 version
out of view.

----------------------------------

But I ask you would you go through the install? OR
Just play the game with a couple second loading delay?

Here's a run down video of what you could be doing
instead of installing....
( Making a sammich & getting a beverage. )

This seems like an odd question to ask...

Wouldn't we ALL like to just pop the disc in and play?

If there's someone here who'd rather install it, feel free to let me know...I'm curious as to whether or not someone like that exists...

Choice would have definitely been the classier way to go. For some people this takes up over 10% of their console space so I can empathize.

Since this trend seems to be continuing (Lost Planet requires an install as well). It might be a good time for a hard drive upgrade.

no they probably wouldn't since the dvd read speed is faster than a 2x blue ray drive. thats why they did it.

I am going to install it as the slightly faster load times will be nice.

Is there a comparison of install vs no install on load times?

It's said to be really irrelevant. That's why I'm a sad panda...... I got 20gb left on my HDD & PPL say it really doesn't do MUCH.

Just sayin' don't buy the HYPE...
( Even though I did. )

BUY THE GAME THOUGH FOR SURE.
IT's FUCKING AMAZING!

BTW it's a optional install.

@BS3_Owner So DMC4 will let you choose the install? I can live with that and acknowledge as a nice optional feature even if its unnecessary if that is the case. It addresses my concerns at least of having to wait on the install at inconvenient times. Well really being forced to install in general seems to negate how nice it is to just put a disk in a play.

I will probably get a bigger drive still since if Lost Planet does this (no surprise its Capcom) and then Hot Shots Golf is also supposed to take 5 Gig so this may become a common occurrence I just hope they don't force installs on those.

@ konchu

Yeah Optional. I can see your point. Towards trends, especially with certain games.
( Developers )

I hope Capcom does not keep this trend up. Besides they had the opportunity to get Lost Planet for PS3 optimized enough by now?

I somehow smell Install for StreetFighter too.

Yeah I'm still a sad panda.....
But the game IS WORTH the $60!

I actually got the game for the PS3 because of the install I thought there'd be no loading times I was wrong

Optional install? I must have missed something, because I could have sworn that it didn't give me a choice. For the sake of faster loading times, I don't mind that much.

Still, choice is King! Always remember that PS3 developers that read Destructoid. Gotcha!

as everyone has said...choice is the no brainer on installs.

this is the second post ive seen on this topic today.

lets get this right, you can install it to your hard drive, and it takes about 20 minutes.

Then it cuts back on some of the load time.

who in the hell thinks that waiting 20 minutes is a problem?

ive seen a bunch of people bitching about the 20 minutes.

haha. its amazing to me. You have the game, you only have to do it once, then you can play. if the 20 minutes of waiting is so horrible those people have issues.


I have the game for the 360 and there is alot of loading. it doesnt take long but it happens often.

if it improves the loading time then I think its well worth the 20 minutes.

this game is almost as bad with loading as Mass Effect when it comes to how often you have to load.

its definitely not as long and agonizing as ME but frequent for sure.

If I could load the shit to my HDD to skip the loads I would.
