JonDnD 2,608 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Is this the biggest game this gen ? I know Halo 5 and gears 4 are close to that PS4 - 99 GB installation spaceXbox One - 107 GB installation spaceDigital Installation:PS4 - 99 GB installation space with an additional 50GB for the installation processXbox One - 107 GB installation space Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,228 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I thought that Playstation UK tweeted that the PS4 installation was going to be 108GB. Maybe there's additional texture files for the PS4pro version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JonDnD 2,608 Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 This is from rockstar . Installed is 99 , but it requires an additional 50 for installation . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DynamiteCop 2,085 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 That's odd, maybe the way file structures work on PS4 it needs to unpack a bunch of stuff and then reorganize it or something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spicalicious 128 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) Nah it probably only needs the additional 50 GB during installation and purges that out and ultimately ends up at around 100 Gigish. But you may actually need to have 150 GB available during the install. I don't fucking know. lol Edited October 19, 2018 by Spicoli Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, every PS4 game is like that. You basically need 50% extra than the actual file size to install because it unpacks the 'installer'. The 'installer' is then deleted upon installation.

So you can get into a situation where you have enough space for the game but can't install it because you don't have enough room for the installer, sounds dumb.

Yup, heaps of people don't know this and you see 'Game X is 50Gb and I have 60Gb free in HDD, why does it say I have no space' threads and questions at various gaming sites often.

I never get close to running out of space so I haven't encountered this but they need to change their install system. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FFXV on PC is the biggest I've seen I think at 148GBs... Gears 4 definitely gives it a run for it's money though on PC I'd imagine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,228 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 That's what the disc drive is there for, to begin with. Rockstar could've gone the cheap route and only provided one 50GB blu-ray, and required the rest to be downloaded, and on launch day, that is almost gauranteed to be choked in traffic. Rockstar paid to have the extra disc so that we could install the game faster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tons of extra people will be saying "fuck it" and getting it digitally as soon as it drops. I hope Sony and MS are ready Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Playstation Tablet 1,725 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I really wonder if RDR2 will be as big as people are hyping out to be. The Pro bundle though doesnt stand a chance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of people think it looks boring. lol I think, from what I've seen in the trailers. it is the closest game to Zelda BOTW in designing verticality in open world landscapes (and if you remember the first RDR, they had specific missions that were linear in design because they took place in valley areas). I think this game has the most amount of unique textures for every area in the map, and that is probably why the download size is humongous. I hope they have enough gameplay system in place for us to have a need to travel all over that map. I hope they don't make the same mistake as GTA5 and have entire chunks of the map be useless to even want to explore (like that southern ghetto part of the map).
