Heavy Rain 1GB+ Update..?!

[Rurouni_Fencer]

While my buddy was borrowing my PS3, he got Heavy Rain about 4 months ago.. Last week I got it back from him, along with the games he bought for the system, (including Heavy Rain.) When I popped the disc in the other day, I went to go play and was greeted with the usual software update screen telling me to update before I can play.. I hit OK, only to see that the update is a whole-freakin' GB (and some change) HUGE!

Is this normal and/or legit? I remember when I first bought the system 9 months ago and updated for the first time to catch up on years-worth of firmware updates, and that didn't necessitate a friggin' hour's worth of a single file download!

Anybody else run into this, or am I facing some kind of unusual buggery??

Makes me wish they updated heavy rain's shitty acting!

Nah it should be totally legit mate.

Was this the update that implemented the PS Move functionality?

I heard that was supposed to be in the works. *shrug*

Wow, I think that is the largest update I have heard of. I have never had anything even remotely close to that.

Fear not. This update was just implementing PS Move controls. Everything's fine.

That makes sense, thanks!
But damn! A gig or so for some wavey-movey fuctionality..? Does the Move go to the fridge and grab a beer for me while I'm playing as well..?

Do you REALLY think a 1 GB Update is bad? I downloaded a game off PSN called Record of Agarest War, and it was NINE FREAKING GIGABYTES! How's that for large?

Oh yeah, I hear ya - That's freakin' huge.. But that's for a new game to play! (which I have for the 360, and IMHO - is a really fun SRPG! Enjoy..) This was for a simple update in order to be able to play a game that was already owned and run on my system, but is necessary to continue playing it.. I just think it's kind of excessive is all, but perhaps this is what's to come in the future of gaming.. I used to think 2-5MB updates on my PC were huge..

Ah. I see your point. (Sigh) I wish I could go back to the days when a game was released in full, and if it was glitchy, we put up with it, and for that matter, LIKED it. (Minus World, anyone?).
