buy a new PS3, just for this game :)
-I have been planning on upgrading my HD since i got my PS3 2 weeks ago. Its very easy and with these kind of releases its worth it to have the space.
-Also, most multi platform games will be bought for my 360, but SC4 is an exception. Darth Vader and (hopefully) Kratos? COUNT ME THE FUCK IN!!!
I most likely won't be picking this game up as I only cared for the first game in the series.
The 360 is the one you want to worry about if they ever actually start doing game installs. The HDs for that one are a tiiiiny bit more expensive.
isn't this coming out for 360?
how is the install bigger than the fucking game?!?!?!?
It's all preset stuff, a custom character is a checklist, a spreadsheet at most. The sheer amount of data that would need to go into a CSV spreadsheet to make it 2MB makes it unlikely; I can't imagine there being that much stuff to customize. And then that will take a thousand of them. Do you really expect there to be a thousand character slots, each capable of holding an unnecessarily huge amount of info for each character?
Bothering to do a 6.7M install seems stupid, but that could account for patches or something. A 7GB install for a fighter, with a 2GB save, is ridiculous.
And while wh're on the topic, can someone please explain to me why any save file is over a few megs, let alone 2 gigs?
Oh and Chibi, I don't think we'll see mandatory installs on the 360. As long as they are selling boxes that don't include one it would be massively damaging to customer relations for them to suddenly require a hard drive.
Sony seriously need to deal with this problem.
Just because a game has a large install doesn't mean the 360 can't handle it. Installs are for the PS3's load times. Without them, they'd be the level of early PSP load times. Instead, the install boosts it to the 360's level.
That's so fucking presumptuous to say that Yoda is worse than Vader in the game and vice versa. You haven't played the game, you can't decide based on what you don't know.
2GB save file, while it might be a typo, it doesn't mean that the 360 can't handle it. I'm not trying to defend the 360, but I'm saying that save files don't have to be the same size on different platforms. And besides, different game infrastructure means most things in the game ARE different, so the 2GB save file makes perfect sense, even though it sounds insane.
Jeez guys, don't jump to conclusions. Just wait for an announcement/ the game to come out. I'm sure we'll get clarification soon.
I heard that the 360 version requires the hard drive as well. Although I'm not sure if it will install anything on it but I think it's needed all the same. Then again who doesn't have a hard drive in their 360 by now?
Also the 2GB save file will probably be the maximum size due to the extensive character creation tools. If you don't use them I doubt your save will reach the 2GB limit.
2GB for a save file? No way in hell would any save file be that huge. It's nothing but text.
... lol, jk. I stfu now.
