Welcome to the world of Playstation 3 lems :P

Damage control in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ....

PS4 will probably also require games to be installed if not streamed from the PSN network.

They don't want pirates to rape there systems.

of course it does, we all know bluray is crap for gaming.

if you have to install games on bluray they may as well come on 2 dvds... or 4 floppy discs... or a cassette tape.

bluray = garbage format for gaming.

Just like on the the PC? It wouldn't bother me any.

and that's bad?

Why would you not install it? Cut load times in half and better perfromance. Duh?

Wait what? BluRay can do everything DVD can do, but faster, and with much larger quanities of data on a single disc. I am really not sure where you are coming from with this?!

These rumours are getting boring. I want to see the actual stuff announced from Microsoft themselves. Though to be fair, installing whole games is like a pc, it really isn't too bad.

True Dat. Its a good idea from MS. Nothing wrong with this rumor.

They better have a huge hard drive in it though. 1TB on up would do it justice.

Heres the thing most nextgen games will probably take up between 15GB to 50GB per game. A gamer with a collection of 20 games might have a hard time fitting all games on the hard drive at once with 1TB. Guess a 1.5 TB would be perfect though for a hardcore gamer.

Don't worry, admins will soon send you on a much longer vacation ... as before.

So PS3 installs don't benefit the system ...  Refer to my original post :lol:

Why is this a bad thing? You get significantly better load times, and it all but certainly means Steamworks-type "buy the physical copy, still get the digital copy" functionality. 

And obviously, 50GB disks doesn't automatically mean 50GB games. I wouldn't imagine the average game being much bigger than 20GB, and that's a pretty conservative estimate.

[QUOTE="FIipMode"][QUOTE="delta3074"]Whats there to damage control, Ps3 mandatory installs=/=360/Durango full game installs, Mandatory Ps3 installs are to fix a problem, Xbox 360 full game installs actually BENEFIT the system.delta3074

so will this be like the ps3 where you have to install the game only to still be stuck with the worst version? :(

Here's a kicker, it has to be installed on propriety hard drives. Aka 200 bucks for 500GB.hiphops_savior

Bottom line is that Full game installs on either the Xbox 350 or Durango and Mandatory installs on the Ps3 are not really compareable, one is designed to counter an inefficiency, the other increases efficiency.delta3074

If you counter an inefficiency ... don't you in fact increase efficiency ? :lol:

Why are people bit ching about this? Your computer has done the same thing for what almost 25 years now? These systems are computers so people get your head out your asses this means better running games.

A lot of the mandatory installs on PS3 (in fact almost all recently) are in fact full installs.

With that in mind, explain to me what is the difference between a game running from 360's HD and PS3's HD ...

*yawn*

Not a big deal if true, try harder cows.

There's a chance this could happen with both consoles. It doesn't even necassarily have to be a DRM thing. Could be just because Blu-Ray is too slow for next-gen.

Lol I remember Stevo_The_Lemming saying he prefers the 360 because of the lack of needing to install games. :lol:

Ahh where art thou! #lemdreams

Oh the endless flames for mandatory partial install on PS3,all the hate and stupid complains,and now is ok,oh wait i would not say now i would say since the 360 got it,but on 360 the justification for the ownage by MS was that it wasn't mandatory and that you could run it from the disc,when clearly developer like ID advise you to install their game if you actually wanted and optimal version of the game... Now we are talking about mandatory FULL install of games on Blu-ray media,25 to 50 GB disc,this doesn't bother me but is quite an ownage to any lemming who flame PS3 partial instals..tormentos

i'm saying it is nothing but more proof  of what a shytty format bluray is for games.

those people saying it's ok?  well,  **** those guys.

bluray is so shytty for games that even next gen hardware can't fix the problem.

if installs are required it makes bluray a joke.

they could ship the nextbox with a cassette deck if we have to install anyway.

[QUOTE="KiZZo1"]

[QUOTE="delta3074"]Mandatory installs are required for the Ps3 to operate at it's BASE level, full installs on the 360 IMPROVE it beyond it's BASE level, Mandatory installs do not increase the Ps3's base efficiency, Xbox 360 Full game installs DO. But, just for arguments sake lest' just go with what you are saying, still not compareable, one is used to make the system more efficient to counter an inefficiency, the other is just there to improve efficiency:)delta3074

of course it does, we all know bluray is crap for gaming.

if you have to install games on bluray they may as well come on 2 dvds... or 4 floppy discs... or a cassette tape.

RavenLoud

but,  if installs are required on next gen systems i'm going to laugh because at that point bd is not needed since they have to be installed.

you guys have to see what i'm talking about here right?

why have it at all when you can have a cheaper format, and you can have a cheap format because installs are required.

games can come on this for all the difference it makes.
