Installation for MGS4 may be required and other spoilers

Gameguru.in write-"It is almost impossible to believe the hype surrounding the MGS4 game. As reported a few days ago one of the mystery characters that makes a stellar comeback in Metal Gear solid 4 is none other than Big Boss himself, and here's the proof included."

Warning Spoilers

[sonarus]

4.6GB installs. Anything for MGS4:D
That pretty much throws out the data duplication theory on the 50GB game.

Thanks for the spoiler by the way. I really appreciated that

[Sev]

These morons should have put WARNING SPOILERS first.
Not after they list the spoilers.

[meepmoopmeep]

i know! WTF!

spoiler right on the friggin title!

gRRRRR!!!!

[Sev]

Why did this get approved it had like 15 reports on it?

[MADGameR]

My friend told me 2 weeks ago!

[theKiller]

i cant take it any more, i cant wait, i really excited about his game 100 times more than GTA4!! its the ultimate game for many years to come!!

bid boss, maybe snakes will go to his past to Zanzibar and shadow mosses, and now even to big boss and maybe u will have the chance to fight him also!! f**k i cant take it i really want this game!!!

must be a 360 fanboy who submitted this story, its shame when fanboys goes this far!! but any way i really doubt this is true story, kojima wont allow it to spread before release!

[s1lens3]

Damn freaking spoilers, how could this happen. Why did I log in :(.

[Milky]

4.6 gb thats just pisses me off. I have 5 gb left on my hard drive only because of these stupid installs. I know its mgs4 and it will be amazing but its just being unreasonable.

[Condoleezza Rice]

"Warning Spoilers"

I think you're doing it wrong : |

[Vip3r]

lol I noticed that too. Irony and failure at its finest.

[solidt12]

Agreed. I'm mad that I even saw the title. i don't want to know anything else about this game and did not read the article but darn, It looks like the title says it all. butt head!

I probably shouldn't use the internet until after I beat MGS4.

[solidt12]

Alright I read the article like a dummy. For those who are worry don't be. This article is total speculation and not fact. Now I am going go put my head in the sand until MGS 4 comes out.

[Time Lord]

i really do, you heard of spoilers?

[SPARTAAN]

don't worry its still not confirmed yet they are just speculating based on one of the photos posted earlier

[RecSpec]

Flashbacks probably.

[LaChance]

EXACTLY do PS3 games have to install ?

Im not into technology and stuff hence why Im never in all the "tech"*
debate on N4G.

I dont really care much whats in the box.

back on topic : why the install ?

[sonarus]

Well from what i understand, the blu ray disc reads a little wierd compared to standard dvd. Some say its slow but some say its not and they pull out facts about this and that. The official explanation is the way the blu ray disc reads is different so the way you load data is different.

The two ways to get around it is data duplication/ or hard drive install

MGS4 being a 50GB game, i guess they chose install over data duplication. But not all PS3 games require install some just go for the data duplication like resistance 1, ratchet and clank, uncharted e.t.c.

[gambare]

why do you care? is not like you want to buy the console and buy the game? you love your 360 go and play it.

[heyheyhey]

because devs know every PS3 has a big HDD sitting there and they want to take advantage of it

the BD drive in the PS3 is only slightly slower than the 12X DVD drive in the 360- and there's also the option of data duplication like sonarus mentioned to cut down loading times

its just a case of devs taking advantage really, PS3 games games don't NEED installs hence why 95% of games don't have one

its just an option that devs occasionally choose to undertake

[SUP3R]

I don't mind.
It adds to the lifespan of the lens if anything.
If there's a readily available hard drive in each console that will help improve performance and load times, why not use it?

[Real gamer 4 life]

WTF is so hard to stay spoiler free. You guys do this on purpose or what please stop this. Is it impossible to stay spoiler free? Geez i am going to have to stop visiting n4g till the end of june.

[Booyah]

............I am f***ing mad right now at that news !

[red_ring_of_death]

I HAVE 200GB HARD DRIVE
NO PROBLEM

[solidt12]

I have a 250. It's great not caring how big a install is. 4.6 install so what, thats nothing.

[Bladestar]

Requires install? Yes, I think anyone owning a PS3 should get use to the idea for any game... anyways.. this is Metal Gear... if any game install is worth... this is the one.

[sonarus]

Sooner or later, installs will have to stop. Gamers may stay away from games that require installs to save their hard drive space. Game devs may have to run with data duplication techniques.

But like you said, if any game is worth installing its this one:D

With the install it rules out the data duplication idea so that is basically 50GB with no extra voice overs just raw MGS4 high quality goodness :o

[Drekken]

Any game is worth the install if it makes loads quicker and pop-ups unseen.

[Varsarus]

It is true that seek times are slower on blu-ray than DVD, but developers can overcome that in the future, the Oblivion devs said they were using a duplicating data technique which decreases seek times, and once the data is found, it loads faster than the 360 version of the game, I believe that is why PS3 games have installs.

[solidt12]

You can delete the install for games you are not currently playing just in case you didn't know that.

[Shadow Flare]

You fckin idiot what the hell, ever heard of spoilers you retard?

[Shadow Flare]

SERIOUSLY MODS GET THIS STORY OFF N4G, ITS RUINING THE GAME FOR SO MANY PEOPLE AND ITS IN THE FCKIN TITLE

[shadowghost752]

I agree Shadow Flare, i can't believe people approved this

[Real gamer 4 life]

This is terrible, i mean its hard enough to avoid the previews but now they spoiling in title as well. its outright deceitful. The people that approved this article must be banned at haste.

[Meus Renaissance]

cataclysm360 needs an immediate ban along with all those who approved it and this story needs to be deleted

[Counter_ACT]

Yeah, why write "warning: spoilers" after giving it that title? What an idiot.

[shadowghost752]

Why is the spoiler in the damn title?

Whoever approved this is an idiot

[shadowghost752]

spoiler removed, it shouldn't have been there in the first place though

[Shadow Flare]

[robpolman]

MORAN

[DomUltra]

[AlterEgo]

how the hell did this get approved w/ that title?

either way...the article says nothing of importance and is basically misinformed.

not much to worry about.

SPOILERS!!! SPOILERS!!! SPOILERS!!! SPOILERS!!!

[patriotZero]

N4G CLEAR THAT TITLE I AM HARDCORE MGSFAN THIS TITLE DRIVE ME CRAZY,,,,,,,,,,,!!!!!!!!!!

[DrPirate]

Spoilers are gonna start getting awful.

Ciao.

[meepmoopmeep]

i'm with you doc.

screw this sh*t, man. i'm vexed out of all hell now!

F*CK!!!

[Marceles]

Nice move cataclysm (slow clap), oh and real nice move for everyone who approved it...you guys are geniouses. If not having a preview of this game everyday posted here is bad enough for a spoiler, this is unacceptable...

[Skerj]

I now hate Gameguru.in more than I did before. DDOS to the rescue!!

[Real gamer 4 life]

all the 360 fanboys want to spoil the game, i am telling youj this is fanboyism to the extreme, i can belive they approved this story. I am gone from n4g, till the end of june. Wait till gears of war near its release date i am going to spoil it too.

[riqued]

Gears has no meaningful story to spoil... Sh*ty game...

[SUP3R]

When Gears gameplay is premiered tonight that's the entire spoilage of the game right there.

[rebirthofcaos]

personally i like to install games, it doesnt bother me, as far it improves everything who cares... oh yea!!! the people from microsoft are the only ones that care about the installation in the Play 3.

[Milky]

I care. With 5 gb left on my hard drive due to these stupid installs I feel bitterly dissapointed with them. So dissapointed that I have actually gone off mgs4 now.

[Blackcanary]

Dude buy a 250 gb Sata pc note book hard drive for ur ps3 thats what i'm doing just waiting for it to come in the post.

[JoelR]

Speculation not spoiler...

[resistance100]

and that makes a difference how, now we aren't going to be surprised if this charater makes a show in MGS4

[JoelR]

means that your guess is as good as the other guys for who and what is in the game...

[rebirthofcaos]

im waiting for the xbots comming to a Play3 new..

i know what they will say:

Ja,ja,jaj,jajajajaja we dont need to install anything in our
"rrod 180"........ Oh wait we dont have a hhd XD XD because it was melted by our Jet Engine ..... wait ill post later since my house is buring down, ill call the firefighters....bu.bu.bu...but X180 is the king XD xD XD

[40cal]

I hope so. Installs seem to make my games run smoother.

[Homicide]

Thank you for ruining the game.

Also if it requires an install, I'll just pop in the 360 version and play....oh wait, the 360 can't handle this game :)

[DanteLinkX]

I will have to abandon this website.... at least until I finish MGS4...

[AlterEgo]

OH GOD...TUS has these pics of people PLAYING MGS4 in Paris
same place this 'supposed' pic of BIG BOSS came from.

It looks like a cool event.

click at your own risk, although there aren't many spoilers...just pics of people playing the game and a few screens

[AdolfBinBush]

remove it, immediately!!

[pp]

why do we have to install every game on ps3 i'm seriously thinking of holding out on mgs4 and get splinter cell conviction for xbox360 at least i want need to install that game

[DomUltra]

Splinter Cell Conviction was delayed because they said it wasn't fun, not even joking.

So all of a sudden you have a PS3? Tomorrow your gonna sell it right? Then 2 weeks after your gonna buy another one right? Your a retard.

[DarthTigra]

Because it wasnt fun are you serious lol.

[Blackcanary]

Just buy a 250-400 GB PC NOTE BOOK SATA HARD DRIVE FOR UR PS3 AND STOP COMPLANING ABOUT THE INSTALL.

[niall77]

and yeah the BB thing is a huge spoilers tat shouldnt be in the title

[Solid_Snake]

if you paid attention to stuff about the game, like two years ago Konami released a photo of the series with all the characters in the game (i believe it was game informer or gamepro or something) and there were 4 or 5 characters that you could only see their silhouette. One of them was clearly Big Boss. So it wasnt much of a surprise he'd be in the game somehow.

[RecSpec]

Hey! Snape kills Dumbledore.

Sephiroth kills Aeris.

The allies win World War II

spoiler alert.

[jollygoodchap8]

LOL and GRRR at the "spoiler warning" right at the end.

You might as well write the warning in white.

[Mr_Kuwabara]

I really hope this is not true, cuz not only does this damage the series at whole, but this spoiler just f%^&*^ with the game completely.

Big Boss should be dead, let him die and be the legend that he is. C'mon Kojima, don't revive characters right out of the blue for the "OMG Big Boss teh bezt" fans sake!

[Irving]

Its not a spoiler. Big Boss only comes back as a flashback memory, like that Shadow Moses level in last MGS4 trailer. You'll probably play couple of levels from MG1/2 in Snake's dreams.

BIG BOSS IS DEAD !!

[davez82]

i really think the people that approved this post should get banned ,ok the title was changed but the spoiler is still in the damn description.

[pp]

Install Install Install Install is there any game you don't need to Install on ps3

[DomUltra]

At least PS3 comes with a standard HDD, can't say that for Xbox 360. Hell, how's that 13 GB's of space working for ya'?

[599 US Dollars]

It's working great, actually. Games saves are maybe half a megabyte at most. Plenty of room. No need to install 5 gig games taking-up the whole harddrive just to MATCH 360's performance WITHOUT an install. Oh, boo hoo. Have fun uninstalling and reinstalling your games when you run out of space.

[Mr_Kuwabara]

This could most likely just be a flashback from the original Nintendo Metal Gears using MGS4 graphics so that people could see Big Boss and respect him more with these updates graphics rather than a sprite from the Nintendo era.

Kojima tends to use flashback scenes from past iterations of the series. MGS2 for example, has MGS1 scenes when talking about the Ninja, or when Ocelot lost his arm etc etc so I believe that this is just that.

Big Boss is very important for this part of the series. They even showed his burned up corpse on one of the first artworks for the game, probably a metaphor of the importance and role that he has for this part of the series.

[Vespertine]

As long as it makes the experience for PS3 owners more enjoyable.

[jones smokey]

instaling is some thing for peoplet who got ps3 to get used to, i got one and ever since devil may cry 4 i new this was coming for the future, i just hope it does not take as long as devil may cry 4 took to install, i had time to roll a joint and smoked it all up before and it still did not finish.....haha

[Kassanova07]

I love this series. I finally played through MGS3 and replayed the classic MGS right after, these games are impeccable. Can't wait for MGS4..it's going to be epic!

[LinuxGuru]

I hope there is an install. I love installs.
It's funny, people say the 360 is more like a PC, when it's the PS3 that has you installing games most of the time.

I love it.

[Angelitos]

They say a possible spolier right on the freakin first paragraph being showable, what the hell? By the way, I'm pretty sure that its just a flashback.

[TheEndzor]

just upgraded my ps3 HD to 320gb

Bring on the installs!

[nycredude]

I payed like only $100 for a Western Digital 320gb hdd and installed it in like 5 minutes. If i have a choice to install I would do it for every game if it makes the experience that much better!!! Like >theendzor< said "Bring on the installs"!!

Btw How much is the same sized hdd for the xbox 360?

PS Someone give me a bubble!!

Peace
NYCREDUDE

[juuken]

Well...I will gladly make some space for this game because it will rock so much. u_u

[interrergator]

there better not be any screw ups like wat happend wen ppl couldnt get online on gta

[cr33ping_death]

CATACLYSM how f@cking stupid are you. you should be banned for stupid sh!t like this.

[SolidSnake93]

Snake, Snake, Snake!!!! I actually do not mind this at all, along with any other mandatory installs, because once I finish the game I can delete it.

[jinn]

no installation for 360 games

[juuken]

That's nice, but downloading games on the PS3 actually makes the games look even better.

[onewinedangel]

Big boss reapperance was announced before tgs 05 is just that people doesnt remmeber the poster and dont forget about raidens son

[onewinedangel]

i hope the installation is true ,just think about it a 50 gig game instalation 4 gig that means no loading times awsome .
P.S. hey xbot dont worry for us we love to install as long as it means no load time (uncharted) .sorry if i hurt u and if u dont understand "no loading " dont worry u ll never have the pleasure to know what does it means hahahahahahhaahah

[lociefer]

OMG , you stupid sons of btches , u shouldve put a LARGE-SPOILER-TAG before we read this fcking post , thank you for spoiling the game you stupid fcks , whoever wrote this article fail as a writer and a person.

[sak500]

What about poor people with 20gb drives? They would have to unintall games like DMC4, GTA etc just to play more games.

[Blackcanary]

Just buy a 250 GB PC SATA NOTE BOOK hard drive and upgrade ur PS3.

[Blackcanary]

Fing Haters Haters i'm so pissed can't believe this and now i know about Big Boss coming back thats so not fing fair stupid a@@ hole what the hell is ur problem damn a@@ never gonna get a life always gonna killing games for other people. Screw you takening the piss.

[Blackcanary]

I've bought a 250GB SATA PC NOTE BOOK Hard drive for my PS3 for £70 so i'm happy bring on the installs that make my games faster.
