PS3 Lost Planet Load Times Are Lightning After 5GB Install

Washington (dbTechno) - The upcoming Lost Planet from Capcom is joining the ranks of Devil May Cry 4 and Everybody’s Golf, coming with a 5GB installation on the PS3 which can take up to twenty-minutes to complete. The good thing about this though is that the PS3 game has lightning fast load-times following the installation.

The 5GB install that Capcom put on Lost Planet: Extreme Condition has been receiving quite a bit of negative press. We have been fortunate enough though to have received a pre-release copy of Lost Planet from Capcom, and have the pleasure to report that the 5GB install is well worth it.

This is very similar to what they did with Devil May Cry 4 on the PS3, requiring the long install which took up to twenty-minutes for many to complete.

Once you complete the install, which took us around fifteen-minutes, the load times were pretty much non-existent throughout the majority of the game that we have played. It was a bit tedious to wait at the start, but once that installation was done, the load times were lightning fast.

The 5GB install clearly cuts load times drastically in the long run, so that twenty-minutes you wait at the start is twenty-minutes of load times you get to skip out on in the end.

Capcom is seemingly going to be taking this route with future titles as well.
