When it comes to the PlayStation 3 is seems all big titles come with a big mandatory install and Crysis 2 is no different.
Crysis 2 will take up a large chuck of the hard drive, with the install weighing in at a massive 4GB! If you want to play Crysis 2 you should make sure you have the required space for the mandatory installation free, before trying to play the game. While the 4GB installation doesn’t reach anywhere near Gran Turismo 5’s install it is certainly one of the larger mandatory installs.
Crysis 2 will be released on the 22nd of March for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.

March 15, 2011 at 4:32 PMwow 4gb install, sounds like its gonna be a pretty bumpy road for the x360 with respect to loading times.
too bad they couldnt include the install for x360 also, microsoft selling 4gb max units is LOL

Glad I am getting this for the 360, the build i saw runs the game rather smoothly streaming from the DVD, must have been too slow to stream from the BD-DVD in the PS3 as it’s only 2x reader.

must’ve been too optimistic lol

March 16, 2011 at 6:37 AMThe author is clearly unfamiliar with PS3 (or PC) gaming – most UE3 engine games (T:WfC, UT3, a bunch of others) require large (4-5GB) installs, as do a number of other games. The language used is either flamebait, or uninformed reporting from a 360 or Wii user.

This is something that appears on the box as a bulletpoint (This game requires 2.3GB of HDD Space).
Who gives a rats ass, PC Players have been installing games forever. Just be glad you aren’t using a floppy drive as your install source!
Everyone who owns a PS3 already knows many games have installs. No one cares but Xbots who use this to fuel their flame bait ridden pitiful existence.
