To quote: Here we go again folks!
More news on the mandatory install of the upcoming Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm that is set to release in a couple of days!
As we go hands-on with the retail build of Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm, a mandatory install popped up having you wait for at least 15-20 minutes to install the 3.9GB Data of the game.
Now that takes almost 4GB space in my 18GB free space that I have...
Game installs on the PlayStation 3 have become a huge problem. We’ve seen hard drives fill to capacity already and there looks to be no end in sight.
I was pleasantly surprised when Resistance 2 nixed that huge 5GB install that most games these days require.
This isn’t to say there’s no install. The game drops roughly 350MB of data onto your hard drive, which takes about 90 seconds. Not bad at all considering games like NBA 09: The Inside use over 2.5GB of precious hard drive space.
I just wanted to give credit where credit is due. Kudos, Insomniac! Good job stepping in and putting a stop (or at least a pause) the problematic game installs that are plaguing the PS3. Keep up the good work!
