We love Gran Turismo 5. So much so we have a whole tag for it. We even interviewed its creator, Kazunori Yamauchi, at CES. But damn, son, that is a lot of gigs to be taking up!
The game is a beast, clearly, but a 40-50 minute install time and 6.4GB of data to put on your drive makes for an unhappy gamer. I mean, it’s really not that big of a deal, go get lunch or something while it installs, but seriously, they must really be pushing at the limits of the system if all that stuff has to be stored locally.
Either way, it’s going to be a badass game, and I’m looking forward to playing it… in like five years, when I’ve saved up enough to buy a new game system. Just remember to check that you’ve got enough space before you start that craziness up.
