God of War 3 won't sacrifice your time with HDD install

just popped in Heavy Rain and at first there is 226 mb update download. On release day? seriously? And a 4GB install. I like what they did to pass the install time away though. When you open the game case you will find a square piece of paper. During the install there are directions on screen on how to make origami with it. And it worked. I finished my origami just as the install finished. Pretty nice. Why am I still typing when I should be playing the damn game already?

I agree with the sentiment of wanting the OPTION to install an entire game, using the disc only as a security check. I have a 320GB and installing a few gigs for performance is fine by me. Or maybe even the option to do a background install during the opening scenes or level of a game would be okay.

But as long as the game works and makes me happy, I'm fine with whatever. The Heavy Rain install was the best ever - it has you fold an origami figure while it installs, and (if you've never done one before), you end up finishing practically the second the install ends. Awesome.

It's been a long time since I played GOW 1+2. I apparently forgot about him killing her. Sorry about that!

I noticed for resolution, it lists 480p,720p,1080i... i specifically remember them saying that the game was able to render in 1080p @ 60fps. evidently it was dropped. oh well.

The combination of the headline and the picture makes me wish I could upvote the articles in here :(

Good. We'll see how it performs in terms of loading and what not. It seems that some games on the PS3 are forcing installation just because, without offering a significant benefits, other than allowing you to have a sandwich or 2.
