fyi Dead Rising 3 update 13GB mandatory

A friend of mine posted this on the UK section for those worrying about HDD space.



For those worrying about HDD space, apparently 12GB of it re-writes original data so your only adding another 1.5GB of space. Hopefully it includes most of or all of the upcoming DLC, so its just a case of unlocking it

I'm assuming it would include DLC otherwise it would cause problems with co-op if one player had the DLC and the other didn't

 

24.5GB when all is said and done

 

Mine must've already downloaded in the background without my knowledge because I played it last night with no wait time whatsoever... =)

[/quote]I got a message that popped up on my console yesterday stating that there was a 13 GB update to do. I told it to go ahead and it took better part of the day to complete.

It's kind of crazy. First we get a 5 GB update a while back that supposedly "prepared" the game for DLC, and now this 13 GB update. That's 18 GB of updates for DLC. Hope no one is on a metered connection. Talk about chewing thru all your GBs for the month.

 

just got a notification on this apparently it automatically downloaded last night (love it) so i didnt have to wait for it and now its almost done all i have to do is insert the disk and play

 

i wish they would have removed the sharpening filter with this update

 

Why 13GB update for Dead Rising 3 ??

www.n2g.us/.../why-13gb-update-for-dead-rising-3.html

 

1 gb for every thousand zombies slain

Damn I've killed 60,000 so far and Im capped at 50GB

What to do ?

Capcom by name capped communications by nature !!!

 

How long do you suppose this has been in the works? Too bad Capcom couldn't put some of this on the disc to ease up on bandwidth usage.

Oh wait... Nobody wanted that!

Welcome to next-gen!

 

Not only do you have to download crap you don't want, MS has taken away your ability to maintain your own hard drive!

 

For those that have reached their limit or are close, couldn't you just play offline?

 

Will the update download in standby if DR3 disk is not in?

 

It didn't for me, I put the disc in an hour ago and it started downloading. 18 minutes into the dl it invited me to start playing if I wanted to.

 

Is it really mandatory? Ugh... i really don't want to give up 13 gb's for dlc I won't purchase. rather frustrating. as soon as I finish the game I honestly think I'm just gonna uninstall.
