Is it possible that we will get some kind of installation disc?

Imagine installing GTA V on your xbox 360 or PS3.
After that, you insert the gameplay disc.
This way the map can be bigger, the graphics more detailed, and the story could be longer than ever before!
The same technique with the realistic faces in L.A. Noire can be included as well that way...

I see it as possible

[WhatThe?]

I don't mind if you have to install the game on a HDD, but I don't mind changing discs either, it gives me motivation to get off my bed...

I could see a problem with people who have only 4GB, but oh well.

Blu-ray (PS3) can hold up to 50 GB which is more enough if you asked me so it isn't needed. And the 360 would just get multiple disks like LA.Noire/Max Payne 3

[AlexJonesConspiracy]

nope, console cant run better graphics.

Yeap, the arcade version of the Xbox gave developers of large games a bit of a headache.
They could no longer make games with a mandatory install, had to be optional.

Thanks Microsoft.

Yeah i also get off my bed once in a while..

Like 4 times a week, rough estimate though.


I am all for installation. As you said, allows the game to be bigger.

I got a PS3 last year, but I didn't like it one bit! I thought the controller was uncomfortable, the online Kinda sucked. That's my own opinion though, so no fan wars please!

Not possible.
First of all, I think at least 90% of PS3 games are installed into HDD. I think I have one game that did not have mandatory installation..
Second, not all xboxes have HDD's and MS does not apporve games that are not playable in all the systems. (like I've said ten times today.. xD)

Unless of course, R* has made a very unlikely and ballsy move to ditch xbox, but I don't think that's the case here.

Or did you mean that people with HDD's have better and bigger game than those who play from the disk? No.

The 4GB Xbox is capable of jack sh*t. I bought one and I bought Battlefield 3.

Long story short, couldn't download the HD textures so I had PS1 graphics.

Worst investment of my life.

[bluAstrid]

Forza 4 had such discs.

An install disc with tracks & cars,
A play disc with physics engine and everything else.

If Microsoft made the 250gb version a bit cheaper we wouldn't have this problem.

[jamieleng]

Microsoft doesn't allow mandatory installs due to the fact they were stupid/tight enough to sell 360's sans hard drive. So no it won't happen.

Downloading the game to your HDD would make the graphics look some what nicer, but I dont think its possible to expand the map of the game just by downloading it to HDD.

Well, let them play in sh*tty textures. People with a HDD should be able to install a pack to make better textures and reduce loading times.

[VF94]

MS should have made the Xbox able to use PC HDD's and SSD.

[Johacamigames]

Pretty sure you have to install the game on both PS3/360 but 360 will ask for 3 disks minimum IMO lol

As for PS3 just put disk in, install, play.

[Adriaan]

The higher resolution textures is not a space issue, but a ram issue. The consoles just don't have enough to be able to display resolutions any higher than they are in such an open world. I mean, the resolutions were the same on PS3 than what it was on Xbox 360. It's not as simple as you might think. The only difference was that the videos displayed on the in-game tv was of a higher quality.

I believe the X720 is PC/console hybrid! YOu can upgrade the X720 just like a PC!
