Soul Calibur IV Install Shrinks, Possibly Optional
42
Ripten writes:
"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

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?

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.

Thats nice... You like one charactor better than the other... I wouldn't be assuming charactors will be the only factor that will make one version better than the other though.
I don't care if you have to install or not by the way. I hope it wasn't you that dissagreed.

Have fun playing the PS3 version with its all Human charactor lineup(slightly faded) the little green fella will add some diversity and even possibly a radically different gameplay learning curve.

1.6 - AHHHH!
I know i don't need to come into Open Zone if I can't stand the heat- but seriously- how do these lame arguments continue to be perpetuated? Arguing over nomenclature, arguing over semantics, arguing over rhetoric- is it too much to ask that people would spend 5 minutes doing some honest research into the subject? I like both consoles, but the PS3 is more burly- can anyone honestly disagree? The architecture is not the same as the 360 in regards to the way the games are developed, most all PS3 games already released are "copies" of the 360 architecture redone and tried to be refit- into the existing, yes superior, hardware. If someone gives you a computer and says it s better than yours, but there are no software titles to play on it... Is it better?
This is all relative to your disposable income! Console War?! Peace on Earth dictates you buy all the consoles, for full video game satisfaction. How stupid would it be if it was multi platform users trading smack talk with uni platform owners? Lets complain about how we dont have enough money while we are at it- arghhhh. Yoda vs. Darth Vader? I want both! And I dont have to say I like one more than the other because they both come from Star Wars and are part of the same picture.....can't we all just....stop misdirecting aggravation to our fellow gamer friends and start spending our energy improving overall conditions for all future gamers. Peace in the middle East.

What exactly is a superior garbage? If the ps3 is a superior garbage, does that mean the 360 is an inferior garbage?
