Devil Am Cry: DMC4 install time video comparison

How far can we get on 360 while PS3 loads up?

Words: Justin Towell, GamesRadar UK

Devil May Cry 4 needs almost 5GB of hard drive space and a 20-minute install time on PS3. Needs. It doesn't mean it's not still an astonishing game, but there's no getting away from the fact you could have gotten through the tutorial, tackled the first secret mission and acquired your first special ability in the time it takes to watch that bar fill. And Capcom say it helps load times once you're in the game. Having played both versions, we really didn't notice any difference. Er... wasn't Blu-Ray supposed to make this sort of thing go away?

We figured we should see just how far we could get on the Xbox 360 version while the PS3 game was still installing. Well, it's more fun than doing real work, right? It took 22 and a half minutes to get to the title screen on the Sony machine, instead of 22 and a half seconds for the 360 version. See the progress we made in that saved time right here:
