Forums - Sony - PS3 version of Prototype has an installation bug

"Did you just pick up the PS3 version of Prototype only to discover you can't, um, play it? You are not alone! If your PS3 tells you that you don't have enough hard disk space for the installation -- and you know that it's LYING to you -- then you'll have to use this workaround, provided by Activision support: change the amount of free hard disk space on your system by 700MB. This can be done by either installing another PS3 game (like Infamous), downloading game demos (like the Infamous demo), or downloading and removing videos from the hard drive (like videos of Infamous).

The Activision support site notes the team is working on a better solution: "We take this issue very seriously and are working to resolve this issue as soon as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause." We're sure PS3 owners will patiently wait for a patch."

And yet the Ps3 version is higher rated than the 360 version with a game killing flaw.

BTW Speaking of infamous installation. It's the best use of installation ever ! it starts installing and lets you play while it installs the rest. You only need to wait a few seconds before you'll be playing.

Was surprised it had an installation at all though. But I didn't mind cause of the way it handled it.

@Staude

How much space does Infamous take on the HDD?



JEDE3 on 10 June 2009

Maybe this is actually the reason IGN an Eurogamer haven't reviewed the PS3 version.

@jgarret I have no idea. Not a lot though I think. It went up to 5 percent pretty fast.. and well.. after that it just let me play so :p

They were never given the PS3 version to review. Maybe this is the reason they never sent PS3 review builds.
