Today we learn installation capacity of Resident Evil 5. This will be 5GB take your HDD. Bad news for people with a 40 GB PlayStation 3.

I had a feeling this was going to happen. Lost Planet and DMC4 also had 5GB installs.

BOOOOOOOOOO!

If Killzone 2 can run without an install, why does RE5 need one?!

Ouch, 5g seems excessive considering the game is probably on like 7-8gig total. No biggie though, those individuals with a 40g PS3 can just easily just clear some space, that's all.

not buying it as Capcom has murdered the franchise.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Expected, most of Capcom's games have huge installs.

Not really a factor to me considering how I'll probably just end up renting/skipping the game.

 

edit:

oops, fixed.



i will not be buying it either. I refuse to condone games that shortcut the PS3. I don't care if it's hard to develop for, put more time into it then. It has been 2 years since the PS3's release. Sony 1st party has shown that developers can make good, quality games within a timely manner without installs(or at least not HUGE ones).

When is the demo out on the PSN?





  

wow, i hate installs, i hate install times, and i hate the fact that it's going to take up 1/8th of my PS3 harddrive
