If you bought RAGE on the Xbox 360 and were impressed on the texture and visuals of the game, that’s because there’s a high resolution texture pack in one of the disc if you choose to install all three disc. In Battlefield 3, it will get the same treatment but expect it to be much better according to DICE.
According to Patrick Lui, Producer of Battlefield 3, “There’s a voluntary install on the 360,”.
Game installation has never been a problem on the Xbox 360 as not all games requires or recommends data installation. However, in the case of players wanting to experience the FrostByte engine, then you might as well free up some HDD space.
“I think Rage did it as well, where you can install content to stream higher res textures. We’re pushing that technology to the limit, and compared to our competitors, I would argue that we’re the best looking game.”
Now, when Battlefield 3 launches this October 25th, don’t forget to install that second disc for the game’s optimized performance. What about the PS3? Who knows.
