Great News. It looks like FFXIII on Playstation 3 won’t have one of the massive mandatory installs which continue to plague the hard drives of TGL PS3s. An image has appeared on UFFS which looks like the back of the Japanese Retail Blu-Ray box on which the lack of mandatory install is confirmed. Brilliant. It also looks like the game will feature lossless audio and will run at 1080p. Final Fantasy XIII goes on sale in Japan in laterally two weeks. The gaming world waits with baited breath.
Why are some people so bothered by installs? They strain the system less, allow faster loading, only happen once and allow developers to pack-in more action. Just look at Uncharted 2, what a game; and totally impossible without installing data. Really, am I missing something here?
Dan, Uncharted 2 doesn’t have an install, everything is streamed from the disc. I will be installing this game though….to my 360.
