Forums - Gaming - Microsoft Teases Sony For PS3 GTA IV Install Time

stephen700 on 18 April 2008

It's fair play the PS3 version should take less time to install or do it in the background.
- the 5 minutes would be reading 2Gb of data from blu-ray and decompressing it to the hdd - would be ok if it's playing an introduction or can do it in the background while you do other stuff, but in general scheme of things it's only 5 minutes once which will probably speed up the game afterwards.

At least the motion sensing is enabled -
if it's done well like motorstorm it will be a good feature for PS3 - and i may even buy it.
if it's crap like stuntman ignition it will be worthless.

Well, just for the heck of this

list of things a company can do with 50 million dollars:

- pimps the next 5 Gears of War games.
- finance 2 AAA games
- hire enough beta testers to ensure an operating system that doesn't suck
- fix upward to 500K RRoD xbox360.

;)

This was just a joke. People take things too seriously.

If you believe this after the numerous times MS slings the mud towards sony you are naive.

Let's face it. MS want more money. Thats what business is about. This is obviously their strategy. To talk bad about the competition to scare people away from it.


 Oh please. Of course its a sling at sony. But its still funny. Too many people get pissed over over nothing. Go have a cry about it.

Isn't this just like what Capcom said about the DMC4 install on the PS3, but just reversed. You know the whole go make sandwich, go to the bathroom thing. ;-p I thought it was pretty funny.

Plus it was also a way for MS to promote their stuff a little more, right?:
"· Or just start downloading a film from Xbox LIVE Video Store to watch later – check out the latest batch of arrivals this weekend!"




starcraft: "I and every PS3 fanboy alive are waiting for Versus more than FFXIII.
Me since the games were revealed, the fanboys since E3."

Skeeuk: "playstation 3 is the ultimate in gaming acceleration"

 you mean... "download a movie you only get to watch it for a day or two and it will disappear"?

I wouldn't mind the waiting, as long as I'm allowed to watch the movie anytime I want, whenever I want, whereever I want.

Well when your Xbox fries and you have to wait 2 weeks to get it back who is going to be laughing then? You can beat the entire game in 2 weeks.
