GT5 Install: Hope You Have 10 GB And An Hour To Spare

It's an optional install - you may still play Gran Turismo 5 with a 256 MB basic installation if you don't have much space. Whole hog, you're going to need upwards of 10 gigabytes - and 50 minutes - free.

Amar212, a GT5 power user well known on about three forums, got his hands on the game (PAL version) and says its installation screen offers the warning that "install of game data can take up to 50 minutes." He says it took 40 minutes for him and 6.4 gigabytes at first, but since learned that Grand Turismo 5 will continue to unpack itself during playtime with the game. So keep that 10 gigs free if you're butting up against your drive's capacity.

It's an optional installation, but if you don't use it, you may expect longer loading screens. So you can do your waiting up front, or on the installment plan. Which, like the real world, you'll end up spending more, in this case time.

Many other details about the game at the link.

Wow, holy shit. 10GB+ free? Christ.

Was mentioned way earlier in the thread, and thankfully it is optional. I'm assuming the game will use the system cache for people who don't install so common-data between races won't have to be reloaded off the disc every time.

Am curious as to how much of the bluray disc the game will consume, as well as reading DigitalFoundry's inevitable write-up on the game's inner workings.

[Akiyama]

Yeah I'm curious about that too. I'll probably install though. Fuck uberlong load times.

[Tajin]

50minutes to install 10GB what the fuck haha

Well, GT5 has made it on to a few torrent sites. 20gb in size for NTSC version.

It's just too bad no one can play the game on jailbroken PS3's yet >.>

lol they can't? Why not?

Firmware 3.50 games have to be patched on a per-game basis iirc to work on older firmwares.

Bit disappointed that the game is only 20gb though. Was hoping it'd break the dual-layer point with all the fucking content it has.

Yea, this....

From what I can tell is need for speed hot pursuit hasn't even been "cracked" yet.

I'm hoping GT5 is cracked soon, as I'm buying a legit copy of the game and would like to play it without upgrading

90% of my gaming time is at work, so I can live without online.....mainly because I can't play online

Fuck yeah, buddy. Nah, I'm gonna pull out my VW 1969 Van on your ass. Yeah, you heard me. But yeah, I've got release date delivery set for it on amazon.

[avelle]

I want in on this. I'll race you both in whatever economy shitbox they stick you in at the beginning. Probably a god damn PT Cruiser again or something terrible.
