Prototype PS3 install bug workaround News
PlayStation 3 News by Tom Bramwell
Activision has advised US PlayStation 3 owners who buy Prototype that they may need to free up some space on their hard disk to overcome an installation bug.
"If your PS3 tells you that you have insufficient hard drive space to install, even if you do, you are going to need to change the available space on your hard drive by 700MB," the customer support site explains (thanks Kotaku).
The publisher also said that a patch will be released on PlayStation Network "shortly".
We've asked Activision in the UK whether this will be a problem for those of you buying the game tomorrow in Europe.
If you ask us, it sounds an awful lot like the problem that afflicted Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction nearly two years ago. As we suggested then, you could always download a demo, or delete a few videos, or something like that. You'll figure it out - you're not stupid.
And if you get stuck for what to do while working on that, why not read our Prototype review?

well if you get the problem you could always install inFamous...or download the inFamous demo...or download inFamous videos off the PSN
something like that should fix the problem. |

Like many others no doubt, I too have encountered this annoying issue when I tried to install Ratchet & Clank ToD on my then-new 320 GB HDD which had some 200 GB free at the time!!!
I'm actually surprised that this bug still has not been fixed by Sony in one of their numerous firmware updates because it strikes me as being an operating system bug related to certain hard drives not a game one specfically. |

I disagree that visible or disruptive bugs in games should be accepted. Have you ever encountered such a bug from a single (as far as I can remember) Nintendo game? It's called quality control. The issue with install space is a KNOWN issue and should never ever occur again in any game. Sony's own test labs should be actively looking for it and failing any game in which it shows up. |

Yep it's a re-skinned hulk game made by the hulk team no less. What seriouslypuzzles me is that Hulk Ultimate destruction had buildings that not only took damage from attacks but, also fell down when pounded enough. How the heck is that damage model missing from Prototype? It's like their engine went backwards a generation! |
