Blu-ray Warhawk requires 800 MB of HDD space

Posted on August 26th, 2007 at 23:32 EDT

Warhawk is approaching quite fast, due to release at 12:01 EST on PSN this coming Tuesday. Gamers will also have the option of picking up a hard copy, or rather a Blu-ray version of the title from their local retail outlet.

Besides the fantastic extras including several behind the scenes features and a complementary bluetooth headset, several planned on picking up the Blu-ray alternative to save some precious HDD space.

Unfortunately, we've got bad news for those folks. It has recently been confirmed by a member of our forums who managed to get his hands on a copy of Warhawk early, Jags71, that Warhawk requires approximately 800 MB of space regardless of the version.

He says the Blu-ray "will place a 789 MB cache file onto your hard drive similar to the file Resistance places on your drive to reduce loading times. You CANNOT boot your copy from this cache file. You will need to place the disc into the PS3 to play the game."

Make sure to check out our review of Warhawk when it becomes available.

Sony will be distributing the downloadable version of Warhawk on Tuesday August 28th at 12:01 AM Eastern Standard Time (9:01 PM PST) for $39.99 USD/$42.99 CAD/£19.9...

Better change the article dates thursday folks get psn version of the game. Thats a whole lot of hdd space being used. Hey much fun to all you eager beaver WHawkers out there! Although some of y'all who aren't sure about getting it, you may wanna read PSM's rather scathing review of WH (they gave it a 6.5/10 and LAIR-5.0/10, wow pretty bad coming from a reputable ps mag.)

You can delete the file. Just go to Game and it should be in the folder Game Data Utility like the Resistance file mentioned in the article. To delete just go to it and press triangle for your options

800MB isnt a lot.. not really.. I mean compared to Oblivion (4.6GB i think it is - in total maximum hard drive space) it's quite small.. but it doesnt really matter anyway, any PS3 can handle it.

800mb? Less than less than 1gb, the Darkness demo is bigger. But man, I wonder how big a download that's going to be when it finally goes up on the store?

what ever i dont care. if it improves load times then good. and im not going to buy the retail version, i like blu-ray and disc based games.

I will buy it, of the playstation 3 store. Is that going to take lots of space? i just dont get it. :(

i dont mind the space being taken up because it will make it a hel of a lot quicker

did I miss something.... when did 800 MB become a lot of hard drive space?? It USED to be a lot..... not quite sure why anyone would be upset about this.

Me neither... its only 800MB.... its cool to be rockin an 80G... thats 1/10 th of space being used......and if the space is sooo precious... upgrade your HDD to a 200 gig sata and move on....

can't wait....i'm gonna download it since i just got my 250gb hdd!

psn id: gingo.... lol i thought the title meant this is was the game will take up from the download and i was like whoa thats pretty small for a full game even if its multi but it was for disk lol

800 MB? Thats crazy for such a good game. Imagine if this game was 20g... Imagine how good it would be..

Back when this game was coming only to blu-ray, I heard the devs say it would stream from the disc as well as the HDD. This tells me the Blu-ray version will stream better. I doubt they would do that. Also, how can the PSN version be 800MB? It has to be over 2 gig for the full game.

how big is the game if you download it from the PSN???

This sorta confuses me! im not really interested in this game, but is the actual download size of the game 800MB or is that the disk spaced used from the download to play the game?

I will buy it, with my ps3 HDD i will be using only 1G,  and i will have free space of HDD 46 thats enough for me. (:

I knew upgrading my PS3 to a 250gb hard drive was a good idea :)

Wow that's a lot. Good thing I decided to take all my music off my PS3.

THE GAME ISNT 800MB - THE SAVE FILE IS! Geez people... the game will probebly be well in excess of 30GB in size, but the actual save data stored on the hard drive will be 800MB.. thats what they're trying to say; not the entire game size is 800MB lol

posted 11:39pm EDT - August 27th, 2007

that's cool...i'm def getting this soon. 800MB is the cache file if you have the blu-ray version, if you download the game from PSN, it will be at least 5GB people! to Drazden, 800MB is 1/100th of 80GB not 1/10th lol...and to djrussell, 800MB is NOT the save file. it's the cache file needed from the blu-ray disc. and the downloaded version will NOT be 30GB i can gaurantee you that. it'll probably be at least 5GB.

...and so I laugh, at the people who foolishly thought they were getting a great deal on the PSN store.  What a sad waste of precious space. And the time taken to download? Ha ha ha ha.  All those people getting 5GBs+ at the same time? I ccan see another GTA IV-esque server crash coming...

Meh, I put 3GB on my HDD from Ninja Gaiden Sigma (Yeah, i know it's optional), and there's probably 8GB worth of PSN demos and games. 800MB isn't much in my eyes.

I don't care. Oblivion takes 4.6 GB, and THAT is alot.

 

Yay, Warhawk is released today! A shame I can't get online because I don't know the adress of the proxy adress I'm under now...

This is just Warhawk, imagine games like Killzone 2 and Lair and MGS4.  Wow!  I cant wait to have to install a cache file that is 10GB in size :)   GO SonY!
