Remij 4,666 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Next gen games are probably going to be 200GB+ What size of SSD are you guys expecting the next gen consoles to have? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lynux3 2,043 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Likely 1TB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They're going to parse content from the main drive to the SSD in blocks basically like it's a virtual ram cache. The SSD isn't going to be the storage, it's going to be an access point for pre-loaded data. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DynamiteCop 2,084 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Another reason I suspect these systems will work this way is because if you used an external it obviously couldn't keep up with an SSD if that were the main solution so you'd just bog the whole system down. I see them being smarter than this, doing intelligent delivery to the SSD from the HDD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lynux3 2,043 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I'm hoping for 1TB soldered right onto the board with a "special" controller for high throughput, but in addition to that an expansion bay (M.2 x4 PCIe 4.0 lanes) akin to PS2/PS3/PS4/PS4 Pro. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I definitely do think that regardless of what configuration they go with.. they will be highly configurable and flexible. I think as you say, the games will intelligently copy/install what is needed into and ultra fast cache and will load almost instantly. Moving games in and out of this space will happen extremely fast and be handled by the systems seamlessly. I wonder if they'll have a more robust compression method which will reduce sizes even further. I think an expansion bay is a given too. M.2 makes sense.. right underneath the system.

There's probably going to be a lot of dialog audio and shit like that. But the thing that gets me about both RDR2 and COD is that the cutscenes are rendered in real-time.. so it's not like there's even high quality videos eating up tons of space.

Twinblade★ 3,889 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) Theres no reason Modern Warfare should be that big. But anyway its a good thing that SSDs are so cheap now. Gonna probably get a 1 TB M2 drive for my next build. Edited October 10, 2019 by Twinblade Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For example, a person who has a low end card which would likely only use medium or high textures could choose to download a smaller version of of the game and it would only allow you to select that level of quality. Same with audio. Maybe make a bit more compressed audio or video files for people who have limited bandwidth and would like to choose that option. It really could go for anyone regardless of the PC or internet they have. And also, allow SP and MP components to be installed separately and independently of each other. All of these things would help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Mother Fucker 26 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Who still buying consoles after this gen? There is literally no point, unless you can't afford a PC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
