Record of Agarest War Totals 10GB PSN Download

Aksys is about unleash war on the PS3 and Xbox 360, but the war may take a little while longer to begin on the PS3 than it will if you wage it on the Xbox 360. If you happen to own an Xbox 360 and plan to purchase Record of Agarest War, then you have the luxury of purchasing a retail copy and starting the game the traditional way. PS3 owners won't have that option available to them, but they will have the ability to purchase the game via PSN and download it right to their PS3 for safe storage. If you plan to buy it from the PSN Store this week, be prepared for a lengthy download and huge file size.

wow, im gonna cry now. lol! Cmon where is the real news? I guess im gonna have to wait till E3?

Not trying to bash the Ps3, but just downloading anything over 1 Gb on either system takes a long time, but 10 Gb's? One feature I like about downloading on 360 is being able to turn it off and have it still download in low power mode. You have to leave the Ps3 on the whole time and then you have to wait longer to install it!

It looks like they are slowly forcing us to do the digital download thing. This for the Ps3 and MS has several games coming out this summer that are download only... I'm starting to think the next gen will suck after this one! They might really release a console with just a 1 Tb HDD and you have to download everything!

I don't want that and you shouldn't either!

This is a wake up call for folks who insist that Blu-ray is worthless and DD is the future. Even a 500GB drive has to run out of space sooner or later.

[heroicjanitor]

That would take me a good 2.5 hours to download...

[Redempteur]

@AAACE5

you can star a download and ... tell your ps3 you want to finish it and install it while you're not using it ...

the console will take the game,install it , and then turn off .. automaticaly ...

so what's the real problem ? because i don't see one ...

And if you want to play you can pause it and resume afterwards ..

i won't take this game because i already have the disc version but this is nothing ..what's the problem ???

[MTEC8]

Why is the PS3 download only? I would of liked add this to my PHYSICAL game collection!

[FragGen]

Thanks for the heads up I'll be sure to continue ignoring this game.

[GodsHand]

There was an article saying something like the cost to put a game on a Blu-ray disk. So to avoid the fee, they are making this game only a d/l version to PS3 owners, pretty lame IMO. I never heard of this game, and most likely will not get it, until I play a demo, and like it.

[sloth3395]

whats the game about because i never heard of it

[MattyF]

It's a strategy RPG that takes place during different generations of time. So you jump forward from different time periods and fight in wars. It is all done in the grid-based battle system like most Idea Factory titles.

[OGharryjoysticks]

and the download better be a lot cheaper since the 360 version has novelty items packed along with it.

[MattyF]

Should be $40 on PSN.

[Godmars290]

Supposedly there's security software tag on making it a larger file. think its only a 6-7GB game.

You'd think some of that would be compressed.

And it should be a $30 download.

[Vicophine]

320GB HDD says "Bring it on!" :3

[Hellsvacancy]

500GB HDD says "NO WAY" :-P

Not my sorta game, and if it was i doubt id wanna dl 10gbs of data, i thought MS wanted 2-go the Digital Distribution route anyway?

[Kratos Spartan]

on my 250 gigger

[Darkfocus]

cry's :_(

[Myst]

This is going to be one hell of a download if I do decide to purchase it...

[ColdAssassin]

Gunna take about 5 hours on my speed. Same thing when i download 1080p blu-ray rips. No biggie.

[Demons Souls]

I look forward to not downloading this mediocre game.

[rambler]

Cheers Aksys. If I download this, it will cost me $740. And no, im not kidding.

[ClownBelt]

Forget it. As much as I love to play another Disgaea style game, I will not support this BS. They've released a disc on Europe, yet they can't release one here in NA? The biggest fricking market? Keep your game lazy biatches developer.

[Ed Wood]

I own a PS3 and was looking forward to playing this game. Since it is download only I will not be playing this game. What is the idea behind it being download only on PS3?

Call me old school but I like my games on a disc and I always will.

[frjoethesecond]

Jeez, just import the European version. Easy for me to say since I'm Irish.

[Redempteur]

i have the eur version too ..very good game

[paradigmfellow]

Same here, I even got the collector's edition. I really hate how Aksys did this. I don't know why they made this move since he demographics for this game does not like digital downloads and they are moslty on the PS3.

[ThePlaystation3guy]

OLD NEWS!!

[Sikbeni10]

Well I'd still want to see which version is better looking and smoother to play but I doubt I'd waste 10GB of my data to get this on PSN.

[Atelierrorona9]

you're really stupid comparing graphic no matter what the ps3 will alwas pack better graphic then any console on the market if a game looks better on the 360 then blame the damn people who made the game not the ps3 i will get it on the ps3 even if the graphic doesn't look better then the 360..

[Roper316]

I'll wait to see if they release a BR version in the US, if not Amazon was selling the EU version so I will just get that instead. I really dislike DL only games and will not support that route of distribution now or in the future.
