That is silly. This is what the 50GB disk space should be for.

well this is getting ridiculous  makes  me not even want to play the game you should not have to installl 5 gigs to play a game CAPCOM show me that CRYSIS needs 5gigs to instal that makes sense but not mediocore games that require that much data especially when we have drakes furtune which is way more beautiful than any game out for the ps3 and look no install. very very angry capcom

well i dont think there will be many people getting anyway

I don't like this trend

i don't care.. i just intall it.. i got 60gb and gone buy a usb HDD to the pirate games..

Not getting the game anyways... But if they can provide some REAL reasons as to why they are doing this then maybe people won't be so butt hurt over it.

another point to install 250gb hard drive on my ps3

This one has me scratching my head. UT3 requires 2GB. AC 1.3GB. HSword 2GB. UNCHARTED DOESN'T EVEN HAVE AN INSTALL and its arguably the best looking console game to date. Now all those "CAPCOM SUCKS" comments I've been seeing start to make sense. If they can't get a game over a year old to run without a 5GB mandatory install (UT3 install + AC install + HSword install = 5.6 GB) then they do suck LOL.

"UNCHARTED DOESN'T EVEN HAVE AN INSTALL"

As far as I know, you do have to install some data in Uncharted. It doesn't take long (maybe a minute or at max two), but it's still there.

wtf is Capcom thinking? I'm not buying there sh!t if they're gonna be eatin away at my hdd like this. Uncharted only loads once and no more. Capcom just doesn't know how to use hardware properly. Don't think I'll be getting Street Fighter if it takes 5 gigs too.

May be it's because their lousy Framework engine(which they use for probably ALL of their games for next gen consoles) doesn't play nice with the ps3,just like UE3,Capcom better not make this a trend.

@Azu ... Uncharted has NO INSTALL. I have the game so I know LoL. Unless you consider 256K save files installing data?

crazy just crazy its one thing with DMC4 being a brand spanking new game but this game is a year old. At this rate RE5 will require a seperate HDD. Feeling for the people who bought the 20Gb verson. I actually was considering getting this game to pass the time until the spring onslaught due to its $40 price tag but now I'll have to pass because I don't want to junk up my HDD. Way to go Capcom...I'll put that $40 towards my GTA4 preorder.

The games not even worth it to be honest

This is getting really stupid.

20 gig owners are screwed...

not getting it so no botherd but if this satrts a trend then things will get worse as the years come and go, the HDD sould be used on the fly for temporary data as and when needed, this was the intended use it, 5gb is a lot considering it's juat over half the capacity of the xbox360 dvd9!! maybe it's un compressed on blu ray which may make it slower at loading. just an idea based on nothing really!!

Personally, I'm not interested in DMC4 or this year-old tosh, but I don't know why people are complaining - we all knew that this was going to happen eventually. You either put up witih long(er) loading times, or you accept that things will be installed on your HD. That is what it's there for, after all.

 

However, that said, I can only assume that Capcom haven't managed to create optimised loading routines yet. There are a number of games which stream from BD - Uncharted, Ratchet, Burnout Paradise to name just three, and each from a different developer - so I see no reason why Capcom can't manage it. Unless of course they just chose not to...

well that what happens when all capcom is doing is giving us a port of the 360 games. I for one isn' interested in the trash that capcom is throwing us ps3 owners. Everything out their PR press is " we're working on the 360 first, then on the ps3".  get with it already, 360 ports just don't cut it on the ps3

the game is good, idk what you guys are talking about. the demo is fun, with good graphics, and i like some of the features like your grappling hook.

the demo is fun, 5gb might be worth it

Man i want dmc4 but i dont wanna lose 5 gigs of space thats like 25% of a 20 gig ps3.Not that i have a 40 gig one, mine is 60 but now that divx is here i want to store as much data as possible.They should have a delete option if u ever decide to delete the installs.man.......looks like a storm is coming

This is dumb. Why the 'ell do they make install files?!!! In the end, you can't buy a game because you have no more space on your HDD! This is why I play most of my games on a console, no need to worry for specification needs. Just plug and play. Sony, please do something about this. It's rediculous. I am NOT buying any games which need an install.

It would be worth it if there were NO load times at all, but just a few seconds faster or even five seconds isn't worth that much dang space. For MGS4 or Killzone 2-worth it, but not for these titles...

psn id: gingo... they may aswell use the hard disk when they have the option to use it but i think they should give people the option if they want to install it or not

Of course the user should be presented with the option to install the 5 gig and get quicker loading times. I for one am all for it, but for the people who do not want to delete some demos and use there space on a game there going to play. They could always opt not to install the 5 gig and have slower loading times.

Resident Evil 5 = 5GB of install? =/ Capcom needs to get in touch with NaughtyDog.

Not that I mind installing data to get faster load times because you can always delete the data once you are done with the game but......if Naughty could do it? Why not Capcom?

sssssssssssssssskip :)

Pretty sure this was already reported months ago and nobody cared then.

Yeah, this game sucks anyway so I dont think its much of an issue. If Uncharted can stream from disc, I dont see why this horrid POS cant.

well think about... 5GB of space on your drive will reduce loading time and disc spin... which means it doesn't have to use the BD as much... that's about the only good thing... now you see why it's been said that SONY is pushing ppl to upgrade they're HDD... i see games in the future to be more like this... sure you might not like it... but think about how your BD feels... the 5GB for DMC4 was h3lla worth it... now as for LP i dunno... it definetly is a decent game all around... but not up to par with DMC4 to be taking up 5GB... but then again i am interested in purchasing this game... so i guess i'm gon have to start erasing movies off my HDD like i did for DMC4... "No sacrafice, No victory."

WTF! I knew this was going to happen. Just because there is a HD doesn't mean that games should have installs. F***, LP was on the 360 and didn't need installing and there really wasn't complaining about load times. Heck, It seems Capcom is getting lazy. Instead of optimising they just load it off to the HD.

Loading time for DMC4 was fast. The problem i had was that there was too many unnecessary loading points. Everytime the game is required to load. Capacom needs to get intouch with nextgen programming. Be more like Uncharted. I hope Resident Evil 5 doesn't have this crap loading all the time.

Remember guys you always have a choice as you are gradually using the hard drive.Be smart on what you put in it.

What is everyone crying about? Installing games on the system is great.  Load times during gameplay are extra fast.  In DMC4 you don't see a now loading screen for more than six seconds.  I hope every game makes HD installs standard. 

I could see the hard drive becoming more and more important with games using it, which is why I upgraded to 250gb about 6 months ago. HOWEVER, I never expected 1 game would use up so much space. If this is the start of things to come then I could almost see me having to get an even bigger one in a few years time. I also have a 160gb USB Hard Drive connected to my PS3 for music and PS3 Backups, its a shame I cant take more advantage of it and install these Game Installs on that.

Assuming that the install is for shorter load times, i think that you should have a choice whether or not to install. I for one would because i bought a 300GB HDD. but for those with the 20... dream on.

WHAT i only have 60Gb down to 23GB i was gonna buy this game as well >.> gonna have to see if i can spare teh 5Gb

IMO we are only getting half the story? This can't be a requirement for the 360 version because the "core" / "arcade" 360 SKU does not have a HDD..........

I really don't care about this installs. If they reduce in game loading times it's ok. Note: Unchated has loading times. Did you guys noticed you can't skip the videos? It is just very well desguised. Obviously this is going to be the norm, so, just stop complaining.

 

Stupid capcom has nothing but noobs game devs.

WTF??? What really worries me is when Resident Evil 5 comes out what do we have to install then? AND if they can make the game like Lost Planet on the Xbox with No install base why the F******* can't they do it for the PS3??? Doesn't make sense at all...

God we get a lot of crap games...

Every thought I had about buying this game just went out the window.  Unacceptable.  A late port with another forced install?  Maybe if I knew I liked the game, but not the first in the series.  DMC4 I accept because I like the game.  Too little too late Capcom.
