My hat's off to them, though this isn't really THAT impressive. Other developers should be ditching the installs and improving performance without them, anyway.

And if it's like the first game with minimal, if any, load times while in-game... I'd say that's impressive for how nice the game looks.

It's largely due to the effective use of texture streaming. It's also why some of the cut scenes had some texture pop in while they were buffering. Gears of War does the same thing due to texture streaming as well.

KZ2 had no install either, no texture pop in, but noticable lag in between in game load sequences (strategically placed during lulls in the aciton).

Anyway, it's a bit more typical to see no installs for SCE exclusives, the one blaring exception being MGS4 of course.

Personally, I wish there was a 10GB install option for that game to install all levels at once so you can jump around from chapter to chapter without waiting for a "mini install."
