According to Guerrilla Games QA Manager Seb Downie, one of the most graphics laden PS3 exclusives to date, Killzone 2, will not require any pre-installation.
With many beautiful games like Fallout 3 and Metal Gear Solid 4 requiring hefty 5GB installs, it comes as a surprise that Killzone 2 won't require at least some kind of hard drive installation.
"No install. Optional or otherwise," wrote Downie on the Official PlayStation Forums.
So there you have it. No need to worry about uninstalling other games so that you can fit Killzone 2 on your hard drive. Killzone 2 is expected to release sometime in February of next year. Stay tuned for more information.

Good it irritates me to have to install not to mention that it takes up loads of memory...

everygame should have the OPTION for install to optimize load times n whatnot, not be REQUIRED. so far, i've only played one game where that is true, and thats Unreal Tournament 3.

I wonder if other 'programmers' will take note and then read some text books on 'how to be a better programmer for dummies' or better yet, just let guerilla do the work and let everyone else attmpt to follow.. and fail miserably.

Gonna Have to agree with illicious on this one. installs imo are a good thing. but the fact that killzone 2, with its graphical prowess, has no installs just shows how much they have utilized the space on the Blu-Ray disc. Kudos to Guerrilla Games for that.

Uncharted didn't have an install. Why should it come as a surprise.
And I wish people would stop talking about utilizing the space on blu rays because we are not sure HOW they are getting the title to do such a thing so in a safe bet Just hand the credid to the talented devs and be done with it.

i don't mind installs cos i upgraded my hard drive to 320gb. and if it helps the load times that is good. when you play uncharted i know this is lame but you can hear the blu ray drive giving it some serious reading. the install on mgs4 was a joke though, it has to re-install if you play the game again. it should have one install at the start like all other games and not bother you after that. if you have a small hard drive i can see the gripe, but a 320gb hard drive for ps3 is only £50 on play.com. then you need never worry

@11 not only that but..when DMC and some other games came out, we were getting crticized pretty bad due to the installation. "PS3 has to install, oh noez, haha they install games haha sux 4 pstriple" now Xbox gives them the option and they are all over it. why arent we covering there boards with POSER messages??
this GEN jus isnt right, im noticing things, we do first, and its bad, the MS does it and its a godsend

Strange. A game like Killzone 2, using more power from the PS3 than any other game on the PS3 doesn't need an install? Does that seem weird to anybodt else?

Killzone 2 is doing what few others were willing to: they are utilizing unuseda juice in the cell processor like virtual ram in a computer, its not easy so previous devs preferred to stick the graphics into an install. This is how you kill the 360's superior graphics card without needing installs.
