Wasnt impressed with the Demo, would rather have Res Evil 5!

This is a GOOD thing. It speeds things up. That makes it a TON better than the loading on the 360...

the game is fun i don't care if it takes 20mins to start the game and come on its just a one time install not the end of the world but does take off some space off your hard drive :( but still if you liked the other 3 games of DMC then your sure want to play this one even if it takes 20mins ^_^

This game should be a good one, since new games are coming out with more improvements as far as loading and adapting to the ps3's hardware. Whatever it takes is always a good thing.

why would they force an instalation if both versions are the same size?

Yes it's forced

Well thats rubbish. Hopefully other games dont follow this tradition otherwise people with a 40gig PS3 are going to have full Hard Drives after no more than 7 or so games

welcome to 6 months old news.....

AARRRRGGGHHHHH!!! if you want a bigger hard drive,buy a 250gb 2.5 Sata off ebay for 60 quid!!!!

What! I can install an entire pc game in less then 20 minutes.  This is rubbish, I can understand a 1gig install to take advantage of the ps3 hard drive but 5gigs.  Thats almost the same size as a DL DVD which is what the 360 is using, and that doesn't need an install.

I can't help think that this is a result of Capcom cutting corners, in some way.

Seedaripper = I dont want a new HDD. 40 gigs is plenty for me. People shouldnt have to be forced to buy new HDD's simply to be able to play their games

I don't really mind as I have lots of space on my 60GB and it still pays off in the long run. The reason for it is probably that while blu-ray is definitely better than DVD, it is still somewhat slower.

This just proves that the BR drive is slow. But I'm ok with that, as long as publishers start to include extras in the BR disc, like "Making of" and other stuf. Why not include complete movies? Maybe movies related to the game? COD4 could be bundled with some war movie. Uncharted could be bundled with Indiana Jones. Why not?

I really don't have any problems with this installation stuff

psn id: zellend.   well considering the amount of play time you are goin to get, esp if you plan on playin on all difficulties 20min istallation isnt that long.... and i agree with Seedaripper, upgradin ur hdd is simple n cheap... plus with ability to record tv later on this year with PlayTV, upgrading ur hdd will be inevitable... well for me anyways

I tried the demo and didn't like the game, but still... why is this installation such a big deal? I thought that's what the frikkin' hard drive was there for! Another case of certain people in the industry knocking the PS3 just for the sake of it.

They'd probably have done the same on the 360, except they can't, because they don't know if it'll have a hard drive or not!

It's a bit of a pain in d AS*S but if you like the dmc titles (like me) you won't mind that much...

I don't have any problems with this installation! If you have litle space left on your hdd you can always delete the game after your don the game, and if you want to play it some other time reinstall it...

If this dusty stokes guy is all distressed over using your HDD space, maybe he should spend more money on an HDD and less money trying to look like a preppy freshman that says Bro all the time.

why??? why do they always make x360 out 2 be the best console?? i ask you guys i mean, jesus.They really need to be neutral.Man i hope those 5 gigs are for something otherwise i am one pissed of teen.

psn id: gingo.... 20 minutes is acceptable for installing a whole game and its not as if u have to sit and watch it, you can go and do something else for 20 mins while it installs

Why is everyone crying that Capcom has let you install it on your HDD for faster loading.  I don't get it sometimes.  People complain like babies.

I read that and then heard that IGN reviewed it and claimed the load times were excruiating on the 360 where as the PS3's loading was almost non exsistant... so who do you trust?

from http://ps3.ign.com/articles/849/849224p4.html "...but when you're loading up a cutscene or having another pause in the action, the 360's times are easily three times that of the PS3." Seems worth it to me.

That's not a flaw.  Apparently you've never played a Devil May Cry game or you would know just how many loading screens there are.

I knew this was going to be forced for a while now and it never crossed my mind that it would be a hassle.  It takes demos longer to download from the PS Store than this installation.

It shaves a few seconds off loading screens.  Get over it.  Few seconds here and there and eventually you're looking at wasting half an hour on loading screens alone.  This is by far one of the best things that can happen for games (though I do wish the install was a bit smaller.)  At least the PS3 has a standard HDD so devs can actually take advantage of features like these.

@zarajoe: Umm, DL DVDs are 9GBs not 5.  The 360 uses DLs.

can never make no one ever fr****in happy....we get shorter load time and it a f***kin bad thing??? cmon....im pretty sure its a one time load...sometime i swear people just want to be stupid....i you really want to be petty count up a load time throught the game and see who comes out on top...shheez

WHYS IT GOING TO 360!?!!?! ... gah...

meh wasnt gunna buy it anyways after the demo, anyways this is still s***** for ps3 owners who wanted the game and capcom, yet again shoots itself in the foot by screwing its fan base, but i guess there to many bullets in there already for them to notice :P

DMC4 should had been exclusive. First DMC4 and now Monster Hunter. Capcom has lost its respect. I can wait 20 minutes and I'm only going to rent it.

i personally dont mind longer loading times....i usally use them to ge to the bathroom or do sumthin else not as important.
