Here’s some fodder for the entertaining yet utterly pointless console wars. It seems, according to one lonely photo posted on Flickr, that Metal Gear Solid 4 requires a 4.6GB hard drive install. Horrors! Right?
Oh, it gets better, haters! UK mag PSW, in its review of the game, says that it has cutscenes that border on the 90-minute mark. No, not a grand total of 90 minutes worth of cutscenes, but individual cutscenes that approach 90 minutes in length. That’s absurd. I’m lucky if I have two hours per night to play a game, if I even bother these days, and I fully intend to spend them playing, not watching silly cutscenes.

i could see the whole hard drive install – doesn’t gtaiv require a hard drive install?
as far as the 90-minute cut scenes – that can’t possibly be correct.
Let’s all sing along: “There must be some misunderstanding”
What’s the longest cut scene you can think of? Six minutes? Ten?
you my friend have never played xenogears. 90 minutes? if only.
So i hear. I still really want to play that game though.
90 seconds of a cut scene is too long never mind 90 minutes. Why do modern games even need cut scenes anymore -it is not like cool stuff cannot be done in game and look almost as good. Cut scenes just take you out of action and bring the pace of the action to the halt -just make a damn movie if you have 90 minutes worth of non-interactive story to tell me.
