4.2GB Install Required for Heavy Rain, Lets Players Build an Origami While Waiting
Yikes! Sony as just announced that the anticipated, yet super innovative title Heavy Rain, is going to require a 4.2GB install, when the game is first put inside PlayStation 3s. That obviously means gamers who purchase the game will have to wait an extensive amount of time before they even can experience the universe that Quantic Dream has developed.
Unlike most games that require the dreaded install, the guys behind the game will try and keep gamers entertained for however long it will take. It has been confirmed once the install screen appears, players will be able to create a swan origami. Sure, it’s nothing special and I’m sure most gamers would rather play the psychological-thriller right when they pop the game inside their PS3, it’s better then having to wait and watch a loading screen appear for what seems like an eternity.
Heavy Rain is shipping into stores on February 23rd and 24th in both North America and Europe, receptively. A demo is also expected to hit the PlayStation Network on February 11th.

Personally the install screen for MGS4 was ridiculous. All it did was show Solid Snake chain smoking and as someone who quit smoking a few years ago; it REALLY made me want to have a cigarette LOL.
The 4.2GB of space needed to install Heavy Rain sounds a bit excessive.
