Make some sandwiches: Lost Planet requires 5GB installation

Heads up, gamers! The folks at PS3Style were apparently able to score a pre-release copy of Lost Planet: Extreme Condition for the PS3 from Capcom, and they were surprised to see a feature we’ve all heard about from Devil May Cry 4: a 15 to 20 minute install time.

More on this after the jump!

If you’re planning on buying Lost Planet: Extreme Condition for the PlayStation 3, then we’ve got a bit of news you might want to know first. It seems you might want to add some bread, peanut butter, and jelly to your purchase because there’s a 15 to 20 minute install time for the game, which might require you to do something else while waiting.

PS3Style managed to score a pre-release copy of the game from Capcom and were surprised to find out that the game required a 5 GB installation, which took around 15 to 20 minutes. PS3Style also noted that there wasn’t much to read on screen, making it somewhat of a chore to just stay in front of the TV and wait for the install to finish.

Lost Planet is a great game, to be sure, though we all certainly wish we didn’t have to wait so long to get into the game. Seeing as this is a pre-release copy though, we’ll have to wait and see if the final release will have the same installation procedure to run properly.
