Awsome so its down from 8gb to 4 GB =/

I honestly dont see why the game needs any install at all, its a fighter.

 

Blu Ray drive too slow??

Like you said, its a fighter, so why would it need an install unless the Blu Ray drive has some technical flaw that we don't know about.

lot's of games don't require install and they run and look awesome like uncharted,burnout paradise,etc...

 

so your argument is flawed,,,some of the devs are up to speed and some still are not.

 

Blu ray just like any new technology (DVD in 97-99)  has a learning curve.

beat me too it.

OT: At least we now officially know that it doesn't require 9GB to play...

 

 

 

Shouldn't that only be used when users reply within a couple minutes to each other and not 14 hours later??

OT - I never thought of it this way but what if the developers just don't care about the install size? Why is it so bad from a developing point of view to have a large install size? Its only really a pain for the gamers to have to make a sandwich before installing a new game.

Anyone who thinks that a Blu-Ray drive is significantly slower than a DVD drive is just pulling at straws.



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

Hey I think those breasts grew a woman! Good lord man, she must have terrible back pains.

While you may be right that Bluray may be new and you sure are right in saying that the way games are being coded has everything to do with how big the install file is... everyone should know by now that the bluray drive in the ps3 is over 2X slower than the DVD DL drive in the 360 when it comes to reading data. So you're technically both right.

"Those numbers are not accurate and are significantly overblown," a Namco Bandai rep told Kotaku. "The actual amount of space for the Soulcalibur IV install and save data file are inline with other games requiring this feature."

I guess the install size is not the only thing which is "significantly overblown".

Ivy is my favorite soul calibur character to play with, seems like she got some upgraded knockers this round!!!

I may be willing to look past the install size in light of these new... developments.

I'm afraid it wasn't a joke.  I really am willing to look past the install size for large digital hooters :P



And by the way, those pics you posted are far too overused to be funny anymore. You should have used something with less internet exposure, like this one:
