Gran Turismo 5 installs while you play

PS3 owners are given an option to install 6.4 GB worth of data to their console hard drive to make Gran Turismo 5's loading faster and smoother. That's one of the biggest PS3 install sizes so far and it would reportedly take around 40 minutes if you choose to do it at the outset.

 

According to Sony, however, even if you choose not to install any data at the beginning of the game there's a built-in auto-install feature that does it in incremental chunks.

 

"GT5 gives users the option of an install," a Sony rep told Eurogamer. "This makes loading times throughout much faster but is not a requirement when first playing. If users choose not to install the data straight away it will do it in stages as news areas, tracks, etc. are accessed during normal gameplay." 

 

Gran Turismo 5 comes out on November 24.

that's great. more developers should do this as well... imagine getting a game for christmas and not being able to play it for half an hour, it would be torture for kids.

That happened to me when I first got my PS3; the first game I tried to play was LittleBigPlanet , and by God was that a mistake. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I spent my first five hours with my PS3 waiting for that damn game to finish updating.

Man upgrade your internet connection or something.... 5 hours is really long. I can download and install a LOT of things in 5 hours...

Won't happen unless I move house, since we don't get cable and our entire area bottlenecks during peak times.

Anyway, the point was that the option of booting into a game and playing offline while updates installed in the background would've been a godsend, but GT5 is a step in the right direction.

Just play another console, watch a DVD, play with the other presents? Impatient fools!

It wasn't a present, I bought the PS3 for myself because I wanted one.

So installing isn't really optional at all. It's just whether you decide to do it at once or not.

That sucks, 6GB.

Yeah, 6gb ain't nothing if you are playing while it installs. Only a few devs are that thoughtful though.

Well, as long as the auto install doesn't slow down the game then it's all good.

If I'm right, then the game simply caches the files it needs to the HDD to speed things up and then leaves them there, so I can't see how it would slow the game down. I know you weren't saying it would, just saying... it won't.

Still Smaller then the 10gb install, that was reported by many news sites. 6gb is a lot smaller :-) . Metal gear solid was 4.5gb plus additional installs for additional content.

thats normal for me.

I think Fallout 3 works the same way. Sure, there is some installment time at first but that's not for the 6+ GB it installs.

Whenever you fast travel somewhere you have not been before, the loading is huge but only until it's installed on the drive. Then it will just take less than 15 seconds to reach it.

It's not good if you got an old 40gb Ps3 just wanting to play games offline, because you might get the thing thinking all you gonna have is your game saves and never fill the Hdd up, so all it takes is 6 games like this and you got to buy a new hdd.
