Question about the 8GB Install

Recommended Posts

So I only got 100GB of bandwidth a month and me and my family already use almost most of that already so my question is, will that 8gb be downloaded through the internet and use bandwidth or just off the cd?

I wonder exactly what it does? Is it just so the exterior world loads properly?

I heard it's like a graphic download or something btw I'm on PS3 so no two discs :p

There'll be a small update to download with install information and any last minute patches, but that will be a few Mb at most. Everything else you need (as already said) is on the discs.

It's just extra data. It may be world stuff considering it needs an install on both consoles.

I wouldn't understand why they'd make a mandatory on ps3 also unless it was to load

stuff faster.

Ps3 just installs 8gb off the one disc. Still no internet download. You're good.

Yeah you don't need internet at all, the data is on the disc but all the crucial files like the .exe have to be on your console first, which is what the install is for.

Damnn I wasn't expecting to get so many replies in a matter of minutes unlike other forums where I need to wait like a frickin hour to get a couple replies

Aha well it's off the disk so you're safe. Unless you're obviously downloading it online, but with your bandwidth, I definitely don't recommend that, you need to upgrade your interwebs !

If you have the disc, it's an 8GB install from the disc.

 

If you download the game, it's an 18GB download that installs everything to your hard drive.

I wonder how long the install would take. I mean that's 8 gigs!

Most likely anywhere from ten to fifteen minutes.

Max Payne 3 was much longer for that, at-least 25 minutes.

 

 

For me, anyway.

Odd; it took slightly over fifteen for myself.

Well I had my PS3 since 2008 so that could be it. :p

Yea. All you need is space, On my 360, I have the 20gb hdd and I have 10 gigs left so im good. I just deleted my demos, apps, most of my skyrim saved up to like one or 2 saves, some UFC undisputed data, la noire, halo 4, cod, and splinter cell chaos theory
