Watch Dogs on current-gen requires mandatory install

4.3
If you’re planning to pick up Watch Dogs on current-gen machines, prepare yourself for a mandatory install. Ubisoft has confirmed the requirement, although the size of the install has not been confirmed. The game will also ship on two discs. “It’s the same thing as GTA[5],” said creative director Jonathon Morin.

He is of course referring to the Xbox 360 version. It’s a safe assumption that it should fit on a single disc for Wii U and a single Blu-ray disc for the PlayStation 3 release.

The launch is looming, as Watch Dogs releases on current-gen consoles on November 22. As of yet, we haven’t see any footage of the current-gen version. Morin offered this comments to VideoGamer: “It looks pretty good.”

This does not surprise me most games nowadays require a mandatory install. Just need a big enough HDD for all the data.

Shen I always install games anyways, means your disk tray isn't spinning so it is so much quieter.


No your wrong. Your discs still spins if you install the games to hard drive.
People also think that you can run games straight from the HDD without a disc which you can't


It does read off the HDD the disc also stops spinning after like a minute of reading it.


yea my xbox is taken apart so I can see the disc spin. Basically asoon as the disc is recognized it doesn't spin if it is installed that is.

BSOD games are getting pretty big. We need to find a way to make cheaper bigger disks


They're called Blu-Rays. They can support up to 500 gigs. If anything ever gets that big game wise, I pretty sure we're covered.


lmao, you are really dumb. Blu Ray allows up to 50GB on a disc. hahahahahahaha


He's actually not dumb, and your ignorance is blatant. I believe it was pioneer that made the 20 layer blu ray, 25gb per layer with 20 layers is 500.


And the Xbox One, PS3, and PS4 cannot read them, so you are quite retarded.


Actually xbox one will be able to read bluray.


The Xbox One has Blu-ray just like PS3 and PS4 and companies have already started develpoing discs of upto and over 1 Terabyte. The only reason the PS3 didn't have better read speed was because the Xbox 360 had a 12x Read Speed for DVD-R and PS3 only had 8x Read Speed for DVD-R.
