Mandatory installs have now become the norm with most PS3 games as developers attempt to cut down on load times. Well add one more to that pile as Assassin’s Creed 2 will have an install upon your initial boot up of the game.
A PR Rep for Ubisoft has confirmed at Eurogamer Expo 09 that Assassin’s Creed 2 will have a 2GB install that should take roughly 5 to 6 minutes to complete. So before you can take Ezio out for a spin you will have a tiny wait, though at 5 or 6 minutes its really not much of one. So grab a sandwhich, stop off at the bathroom and it should be done in no time. Assassin’s Creed 2 launches November 17th for PS3, 360, PC and iPhone. As always, stay connected to PlayStation LifeStyle for all your PS3 news.
So does this install bother anyone or has most everyone gotten used to it?
