Devil May Cry 4 22 Minute Install On PS3? >

	According to CVG, the Playstation 3 version of Devil May Cry 4 has a 22 minute install time for the PS3 version. Of course, the PS3 version is outselling the Xbox360 version in Japan almost 6 to 1, but this is likely because not many Japanese gamers own Xbox360 consoles. >Link

THAT SUCKS!

i'm still gonna buy it for my PS3 but that fuck blows.

I knew that already don't care still buying the ps3 version. It's 5 gigs don't care devil may cry plays great with the ps controller.

22 minutes and 5 gig of data sucks, no console game should take this time to install or need this much space on a hard drive , when you read about the load times on the 360, this is just a case of sh@#ty programing.

that's retarded

this guy sounds like kroganato... kool...

and don't buy devil may cry infact don't buy ps3, if its sounds ridiculous.

from what i heard its a mandatory install...

sucks but oh well...

Well I played the demo this weekend. This game is bad a$$. My 7 year old son coulnt get enough of it. So I guess I will suffer through the long load times on my 360. Sucks that there is a mandatory install on the PS3, but I am sure in the long run it will be worth it, because otherwise S3 owners would be stuck with even longer load times than the 360.

Either way "BUY THIS GAME"!!!!!

Although, 25 minutes is a long time. I'd rather get it all out of the way at the beginning rather than waiting for load times during play. Capcom even said that after the installation you will not see load times any longer than you did on the SNES. I'd personally rather wait the 24 minutes instead of experiencing the long load times on the xbox360 version. either way, this game is great. Buy it for whichever console you have! You will not be disapointed.

are you telling me that I have to wait a whole south park episode to play my game after I boot up the system. Do you mean to tell me When I start up the game, I'll actually have time to wack one off, before playing? Finally The ps3 is doing something worth its headache, now I can throw a game in, go take a sh!t. Come back and the game would be ready to play. Thanks PS3 something I've been looking forward this whole Gen. Way to set new standards in the gaming Community. Does this load time go in the Guinness Would Records Gamer's Edition?

Sicbud and PimpDaddy, did you read the article for PS3 vs 360 load times, there is virtually nothing in it.

"Following that the opening load time on PS3 was five seconds against eight on 360. And then three seconds versus four, and four versus five seconds in following load screens, PS3 - 360. As you can see there's not much in it."

This is just bad programming, plus 5 gig on a small hard drive sucks. Image if all the games did this, I would be screwed within 10 games.

It does look great, but I think this time I will opt for the 360 version, if there are no graphical and control differences.

My bad Sony Sausage Smugglers. You guys got f*cked. 22-25 minutes waiting for the game to install to the HDD just so your load times can be a few seconds faster then the 360. OWNED!!!!! But I thought Sony said that with Blu-Ray only the PS3 could provide a "true" next gen experience. I guess the PS3 is a computer, making you load games to your HDD. ROFL.

FACTS:

sicbud, the Capcom programmer may have "claimed," that you would see load times similar to a SNES game, but here is what Computer and Videogames actually found in their Report that literally TIMED the load times:

"They're definitely no way near "Super Nintendo speed".





In fact, here is the opening comment from the Review:



"Capcom US has responded to CVG's report yesterday that PS3 Devil May Cry 4 forces gamers to sit through a mandatory 21 minute install time - with little improvement to load times there after.

Just to be sure, we timed the 5GB install process (which you can't opt-out of) on our PS3 retail version and it clocked in at 21 minutes, 41 seconds.

After installation, we timed DMC4's load times to be only one or two seconds shy of those in the 360 counterpart. Hardly worth sitting through 21 minutes of concept art, then."
