Prototype Gets Annoying Installation Bug
Now that [PROTOTYPE] is available in stores now, PlayStation 3 owners have dived into the destructive mind of Alex Mercer, created by the developers who made The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. But unfortunately, it seems that most PS3 owners can’t dive into that mind quite yet.
Gamers who have purchased [PROTOTYPE] have found an unfortunate installation bug, which tells you that there is not enough hard-drive space for the installation of the game. To fix this, you’ll have to change the amount of free hard disk space on your system by 700MB. Sound familiar? Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction had a similar problem, where you’d have to delete or add on 500MB of memory.
The problem can be easily solved, though shouldn’t even had happened in the first place. To get the game up and running, you’ll have to download anything that will eat up 700MB of memory. You can either download a demo, install another game, or download some videos. You can also remove any downloadable content you may have lingering around on your hard drive.
For something to download, may we suggest the inFAMOUS demo? Trust us, it works, unlike this sucker.

Ok that’s weird… and a whole lot of n00bs with no internet are going to be S.O.L. probably. Gamestop and Wal-Mart employees will be too stupid and/or uninformed to actually help. So… customers are going to go to Gamestop just to complain about not being able to play their game and Gamestop will just try to convert them into an Xbot…
Great Job activision you really hate PS3 don’t you? You started off not allowing your intruments to work on Rock Band, you didn’t give World Tour trophies on release day, now you can’t even do a simple hard drive install.
I nominate Activision as “2009s most useless game developer of the year”
It doesn’t hurt that they always seem to make buggy, lower quality, and less entertaining games than their competition (minus Konami)
What’s even worse is that they’re even projecting by saying “PS3 is too expensive” while releasing games that require new peripherals because they wanted to add stuff to the game so that the competition’s instruments couldn’t be used or wouldn’t work as well.
At this rate I’m going to have a list of activision games. Just so I know which ones to never purchase, buy or play.
i read about this earlier when trying to find a review for the game. seriously, how does something this major slip through like that? hope the patch comes out soon ’cause i wanna rent this bitch.
note to gametesters:
try to install the game…
@ MakaiOokami
you’ll forget that rant after they make a good game and force you to buy it.
Probably but they would have to make a great game first, lol
