Long Bioshock PS3 install likely

DarkZero: The release of Bioshock on the PS3 may still be a long way off, but according the BBFC - who have recently rated the upcoming game - players will apparently have to sit through a 24 minute install before they venture into the dystopian city of Rapture. We say apparently, as the listing is not very exact in it's wording, and just remarks "00:05:24:00 BIOSHOCK PS INSTALL VID FINAL.BIK" as part of their listing.

1.5 - No Breakfast,
apparently in amidst the confusion with the Gears of War games, the developers of God of War no longer wanted to be associated with a generic shooter franchise so they changed it to GodoW3.

Here, hopefully this will help:

GodoW3 = God of War 3

GOW = Gears of War

Toughname, that acronym that you just made up is pointless because if you took the time to type the individual letters it's just easier to type out the whole name.

1.7 - Bull article
If anything they meant at BBFC it was that it was a 5 min install.

Here look for yourself.

It forms part of the 15 mins they analyzed. This website should check better.

I mixed the letters up the first few times I typed it out. But to make it easier I just remember this:

GodoW3 = God of War 3, GOW = Gears of War

Max Power - 535 days ago
1.15 - technically GoW...
was first as an acronym for "Grapes of Wrath". But to be honest, since God of War came out before Gears of War (in video game land), that acronym should, by rights of first come first serve, be God of War. I remember reading that all over the net a long time prior to Gears of War. Granted i'll give the fact that if you google GoW you'll see more Gears of War than God of War but that doesn't make it the soul possessor of that acronym. So GoW=God of war, and the next logical choice for Gears of War is GeoW.

1.16 - Acronyms.
God of War = GoW
Gears of War = GeoW.

God of war was first, therefore it gets that acronym. Gears of War came later, therefore it gets a revised version. Please follow the rules.

1.19 - Question:
Why the F*** are you guys talking about GOW3 and Gears of War?

This is an article about BS-PS3.

(lol)

Dark General - 534 days 22 hours ago
1.20 - I usually
Refer (and hear) GoW for God of War and Gears when people are talking about Gears of War.

As for the article itself it says "00:05.24:00 BIOSHOCK PS INSTALL" I don't know about you guys but that reads more like 5 and a half minutes. If you read it a different way it'll read like 5 hours and 24 minutes, but that seems highly unlikely.

1.23 - I can't comment for others, but
I'm with the folks that call Gears of War, Gears, and God of War, GoW. I do this for a few reasons. First and foremost God of war is older, and had the acronym first, check Wikipedia. Secondly the reason that Gears of war has more google hits with the acronym is because Gears of war and Gears of war 2 have been in the press in the more recent past for a longer period of time, when God of war 3 is closer to release the google hits will go up. Lastly and the biggest reason for calling God of War: GoW, and Gears of War: Gears is that any other way to shorten their names, with the exception of Gow for Gears, sounds and looks stupid.

Not a big deal. Game installation on the PC has been around for a LONG time now and the 360 will soon follow suit. Game installation is the future. :P

It could take 5 hours and 24 minutes for all I care but please, to anyone who already hasn't played Bioshock do yourself a huge favor and play this game! This was the first game I could not turn off until I beat it (17 hours straight to be exact!).

You're not the only one

PEOPLE

The time stated there looks oddly enough like 5 minutes and 24 seconds. not 24 minutes. IF that were the case, teh 5 would be 5 hours and thats just ridiculous. Whoever is trying to submit this, stop trying to flame.

this is a bull article. Makes no sense. Don't seem to know how to read. They sampled 15 and a half minutes and now they have a 25 minute install....Go figure out the logic.

If you've played Uncharted then you would know there was no install. And I never said game install was good, I just said it was no big deal. The 360 will be installing games soon so why make a big deal out of it?

GOW is an acronym for God of War since it was released before GeOW and is the better action game. :P

"If you've played Uncharted then you would know there was no install."

Thats why hes gonna take you install lovers down.

"The 360 will be installing games soon so why make a big deal out of it?"

I dont remember myself ever saying anything about the 360, but if you wanna go that route...

...its optional.

I've never once called Gears GeOW, it's just Gears. Makes a lot of since considering everyone I know calls God of War GOW. And about load times, digital downloads are the way of the future and what does that imply? DOWNLOADS!

Next gen consoles are pretty much PC's now. This isnt the old ps1 days where there was only about 100kb worth of info on a disc. If you dont like it, go buy a last gen system and quit your b*tchin. You guys are worse than lil old ladies.,
