Soul Calibur IV Install Shrinks, Possibly Optional

"There was another amusing discovery that brought credence to Soul Calibur IV having an install fetish. Xbox.com listed the game as requiring a HDD. This has since been corrected, unlike Alone in the Dark's webpage."

1 - Soul Calibur IV Doesn't Require HDD on Ps3 either
it's a option.

good catch tho, I didn't even see anything about the 360 on the article at first glance.

I don't see how it could make load times faster; I don't know any fighting game that had huge load times, even in the PS2 era, loading times for fighting games were insignificant

congratulations you made me laugh! On a side note, since the article is about the 360 version why have a pic of Darth Vader?

4.1 - Install cap??
There is no such install cap, the developers can make it as big as they want. Seeing that i have 2 games that are over 5gb, Ridge Racer 7 5,2gb and Gran Tourismo 5 proluge which is 6.4 gb and yes this is the disc version. Not to mention ALL games that have installs run way smoother and load faster which are features i like and my 160gb hdd doesn't mind either.

5 - That is because
the original story posted was SPAM. It wasn't even a story at all. It was just a link to the Soul Calibur IV product info page. You could post 1000s of stories if you were allowed to link to product info pages, but you are not.

Whoever posted it made up their own title and also the article based off of nothing but speculation.

6 - I don't understand
Now the ps3 install is optional. And the 360 doesn't require the Hard drive.

Who the heck starting this stuff saying the game needed installs and HDD as mandatory in the first place?

8.2 - But there is no need for an install in the first place
It's OPTIONAL.

Not required. So what point are you trying to get at?

I wouldn't care if the install were mandatory. I'll install even if it's optional.

12 - I'm strongly
I'm strongly against these mandatory installs. I have the 60gig PS3 and most of the games I have, have a mandatory install. I just don't understand why we have to be forced to install just to be on par with the 360.I saw no difference whatssoever from GTA4 and Devil May Cry 4. And this is just a fighting game. Its not like its Metal Gear. Which is the only game I can understand seeing a Data Install.
