Did you just pick up the PS3 version of Prototype only to discover you can't, um, play it? You are not alone! If your PS3 tells you that you don't have enough hard disk space for the installation -- and you know that it's LYING to you -- then you'll have to use this workaround, provided by Activision support: change the amount of free hard disk space on your system by 700MB. This can be done by either installing another PS3 game (like Infamous), downloading game demos (like the Infamous demo), or downloading and removing videos from the hard drive (like videos of Infamous).

The Activision support site notes the team is working on a better solution: "We take this issue very seriously and are working to resolve this issue as soon as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause." We're sure PS3 owners will patiently wait for a patch.

Posted it in its' own thread so it wouldn't get lost in the main Prototype thread.

Oh CYMBOL, don't tell me you bought this game? I actually had respect for you on this forum.

why would you say you lost respect for him? doesn't look that bad of a game

pmac · 06-10-2009, 06:13 PM

It's not actually. we were playing it for 3-4 hours last night. It is a decent game, but it hectic, very busy, you don't really get a chance to relax much if at all.

Don't know if we will ever see the trophy to kill 53000 infected...that seems like an aweful lot.

No reason to kick him while he's down.

BTW I PM'd you some questions about the game, but you can post the answers here.

I will kick, he will just kick back in burnout on saturday

and verbally abuse me I am sure!

I sent you a PM.

NARMAK · 06-10-2009, 06:36 PM

He's been in the wrong a lot of time & even insinuated i was launching personal attacks on him in the beta key thread when i posted he was refuted & hasn't really added barely anything positive to any posts lately

On topic, good to see Activision are working for a fix

Yeah, those are the stupidest, laziest trophies/achievements. "Hey, go do some boring bullshit a ridiculous number of times!" Wow, what an accomplishment.

I have noticed that too. I would kick when down as well, especailly after I saw he posted this.

I also don't think the poster realizes that when he shares the person he shares with is FOREVER tied to his system (and your only allowed 5 active users) but maybe he doesn't care so much. Doing a game share for a BETA that doesn't even last that much longer is stupid and not worth that game share hassle unless you REALLY want it.

I am sure he did that to me. He wanted to trade Nariko LPB content for Rachet and Clank QFB (his offer not mine) we did the exchange, and I didn't get to the game right away but when I did go try it said I didn't have the access right to play.

I guess they're dropping hints oh not so subtlely that it's a poorer version of InFamous

I see very big resemblences & when i first saw it i knew they would be very similar but i guess InFamous pipped it in reviews

Haha, no - I just saw it and didn't see it posted anywhere and was trying to be helpful to anyone who bought it.

I don't care if it's a good game or not, just making sure people have a way to play it if they bought it.

(I know it says you're banned, but figured I'd post a reply incase your still reading the forums.)

I don't get it.

I was just saying I didn't buy the game bought thought I'd post the info for those who had so they could fix this issue.

i was fixing it so it was a specific response to him getting banned

Maybe i should have posted a response to that degree myself

Xerios · 06-10-2009, 08:41 PM

same issue with Ratchet and Clank FTOD... it only looks at the MB u have left and not the gigs... easy dev fix...

Ooooh, I see. I've never personally had any issues with Netguy, so I stay out of the discussions that refer to him.
