Operation Flashpoint Sneaks In A 3 Gig Install

TGH writes: Operation Flashpoint: Red River, the newest entry in the acclaimed tactical shooter series, hit store shelves in the UK back in April, but those of us in North America won’t be able to get our hands on it until Tuesday. Now, in case you’ve managed to fill your PS3′s HDD to capacity this weekend with your free PSN goodies, we feel it’s only right to let you know what damage Operation Flashpoint: Red River might do to your hard drive.

Quite annoying, I thought we were past all this install stuff. If games like Uncharted 2 can do it why cant everyone else? Utilize that core.

Soldierone5135d ago

Because doing the requires actually making the game specifically for a PS3 system...instead of being lazy and porting over half arsed code from the 360.

(no im not bagging on 360, im hating on lazy developers)

Neckbear5135d ago

Because most game builds don't hide load screens behind videos disguised as cutscenes.

Just saying.

Kon5135d ago

You just nailed it.

Christopher5135d ago (Edited 5135d ago )

Uncharted doesn't use videos. They are scripted in-engine scenes that still require engine processing. Same cut scenes you see in almost every game out there now.

What uncharted and god of war do behind the scenes with loading data in a constant flux is pretty amazing, but even many first party teams have been unable to do it as well and third parties tend to have enough on their plate when working with two or more console developments at once.

ShadyDevil5135d ago

Its better than most other titles like Fallout and others. Or DCUO and Mass Effect 2

Prototype5135d ago

OH NO, my 500 GB hdd with 330+ GB free can't handle it!
*jumps off a bridge*

GoldPS35135d ago

I forgot about this game. I don't think it'll be all that anyway. Too many shooters. I'm saving my money for BF3.

Off Topic: John man I can't wait for your game!

Some mediocre - crap games there. Couldn't even include any Codemasters racing games? It's the only thing they're good at.

Canadiangamernet3988d ago

Including the Dirt series in the bundle would have been awesome but i wouldn't say they are crappy games. I liked Overlord 1 & 2 and both Operation Flashpoint are decent FPS the other one are so so for me.

guitarded773987d ago

Like I said... crappy to mediocre. I liked Overlord too. Didn't care for Operation Flashpoint. But eve liking Overlord, I have no illusions that it isn't a mediocre game.

AntsPai3988d ago

Even though it's still technically a good deal, the whole $5 or £4 thing annoys me. Humble bundle doesn't do this. No thanks.

Operation Flashpoint: Red River - The Shooter That Could Have Been The Greatest

Mobile & Apps: "One of the most underrated shooters of the previous generation was Operating Flashpoint: Red River for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. With all its problems, I believe this is a game that is worth playing, however, it is not too hard to see why the game didn't quite kick off, as it should have."

I liked it, didn't quite finish it though. Maybe I will now.

Codj4546d ago

Loved this game, it was dumbed down from Dragon Rising but still an enjoyable game. Was still offputting to people looking for instant/non stop action

Theangrybogan4545d ago

Ha! Some colleagues and I are actually planning on hitting this one up tonight. Great game.
