Forums - Sony Discussion - MGS4 initial install time request.

Can someone with a stock Sony drive post how long it takes to install the first part of MGS4?  I will post my time here.  I upgraded to a 7200 rpm drive and would like to compare the install time. 



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

Its supposed to be 8-9 minutes according to Konami. I haven't tried it myself.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

It is 8 minutes, then ranging from 1-3 for each act.  I could tell you my times in 13 and a half hours.



Thanks. I will post my time on Friday. It seems like the 8 minute install time really bothers a bunch of people that won't be able to play the game on their platform of choice.



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

 

 

Well, it said 8 minutes on the screen but I haven't timed it. You get a progress bar with % and remaining time. Meanwhile, you can enjoy seeing Snake smoking, and read the on-screen instructions .

Between acts is like 3 minutes.

 Not a big deal.



No foreign sky protected me,
No stranger's wing shielded my face.
I stand as witness to the common lot,
survivor of that time, that place.

long loading times are completely unexceptable but if we rename them install times i'm happy as a clam to have wait to play. xD

 With only Wii and xbox live names in your signature, you can rest assured you won ever have to bothered with load or install times of MGS4.

I like how they tell you the controls while it's loading, I normally take 2-3 minutes just reading all the controls anyway.

8 minutes is fine, i do find anything over 20 to be a little excessive.
