Forza 5, Ryse Son of Rome and Dead Rising 3 Install Size and Rear of Cases Revealed

The install size of few Xbox One exclusive has been revealed along with back coverart

ABeastNamedTariq3825d ago

Hard drives are going to fill up fast, good gracious.

Ausbo3825d ago

Damnnnnn. 47 gigs for ryse? My hard drive will be full day one! Guess ill have to delete and reinstall games often

minimur123825d ago (Edited 3825d ago )

I've ordered a 1TB HDD for my ps4, might take advantage and just install all the games I get. And when PS Plus picks up more a few years into it's life cycle I'll need that for that time.

but lol everyones going crazy, Have they forgotten that you can just play from the disc?

FamilyGuy3824d ago

@ minimur

You can't really play from the disc on X1. All games MUST be installed. I'm pretty sure you can play whiiiile they install but there is apparently no option of not installing. You need the space no matter what if you want to play.

fardan853824d ago

That's too much. I hope there will be an option to install the mandatory files only to get the game working, not the whole 47 gigs. At this rate the HDD will be full with launch games.

True_Samurai3824d ago

@FamilyGuy but you don't have to wait. You can play while it downloads in the background

ABizzel13824d ago

@minimur12

Correct me if I'm wrong, but for Remote Play we have to install the game to the HDD or have the disc in the PS4. Anyone planning to take advantage of that will have to install everything as well, which is my big concern and why I say 1TB HDD isn't enough we need confirmation on saving to externals or something.

sic_chops3824d ago

Too bad it's not upgradable. Just sit your external hard drive beside your power brick.

HammadTheBeast3824d ago

Well, graphically it looks pretty high up there, so its understandable. Much more so than the 45 for CoD Ghosts.

Khajiit863824d ago

No you don't. Xbox One has free cloud storage for all LIVE members., no need for a new HD just store in the cloud. Microsoft perks how nice.

Ju3824d ago (Edited 3824d ago )

PS4 is the same. It does not have installs from disk. To play without a disk you must purchase it from the PSN and download it.

PS4 caches the same way XBOne does. You can play when inserting the disk, but the OS caches the disk to the HDD - all of it - in the background. You won't notice and you have no control over it. It does not support manual installs any more (like PS3 did).

dantesparda3824d ago

Yeah but Ju on the Ps4 you are only losing at most about 40-50gb to play a game, and the rest of the HDD is left to you. Whereas on the X1 all games must be installed so, everygame you play is taking up like 40-50gbs. Huge difference!

lsujester3825d ago

For real. I was hoping that 49GB for COD was just an anomaly, but doesn't seem so. Guess my gaming investment is going up some more for a bigger HD.

mhunterjr3825d ago

The 49gb is still an anomaly for COD, with those bland textures. I still don't understand why it would be so large...

Rynocirator3824d ago (Edited 3824d ago )

@mhunterjr The same thing can be said for the 30gb for Max Payne 3 on pc, the bottom line is they are using uncompressed data and textures which are easier and faster for the system to read, which (in max payne 3's case, allows for faster loading during cutscenes so there are no hangups when the game begins after the cutscene is over) helps for seamless transfers. Final Fantasy XV has said to be a 7:3 ratio of in engine to CGI cutscenes that transfer into gameplay without a load screen, you can expect the same for probably most games now. Bottom line is as games get bigger, they want them to load faster so you aren't waiting for cutscenes to load or levels to buffer, and the best way to do that is to not compress the data.

Edit: Also, installing it makes it load a lot faster than running off the disc, as the BDD in the systems (probably both the same) will run at 2x for 50GB discs, and 1x for 100gb discs...which if you don't know much about disc drives, most DVD drives run at like 24x or 26x.

Kenshin_BATT0USAI3824d ago

@Ryno

Compressed or not, it shouldn't matter to a pc with an SSD, just saying.

The_Troll_Whisperer3824d ago (Edited 3824d ago )

I have a question: If every game I buy is 50 GB, and since the Xbox One has a non-replaceable HDD, what will I do once the space runs out?

Edit: NVM, I read down further in the comments and apparently USB drives are compatible, but not at launch

Saviour3825d ago

it's already got usb 3.0 so external hard drives won't be a problem, speed will be fast too.

GodGinrai3824d ago

Have they said if their is a size limit on how much space on an external HDD can be used? I really hope they have not done something stupid like cap the size again. I have a 250GB HDD. never needed to use a USB stick, so the 16GB cap never really bothered me. But with 30GB+ installs that 500GB HDD does not seem sufficient. We need at least 1TB this gen.

strickers3824d ago

External HDDs are not available at launch on XB1.

Yeah got to admit this has me concerned.

On the ps4 you can install your own 3.5 HDD... so can go 3TB +++
MS better not charge a premium for HDD upgrades.

On the other hand... is it possible to install the local content to the cloud? That would solve the HDD issue.

Anyone know?

Saviour3825d ago

@BBBirdistheWord : The max right now u can install on ps4 is 1.5tb and xbox will support external HDD. after console is launch MS will release some update to add support.

mhunterjr3825d ago

I really don't foresee many people needing to upgrade their storage prior to 2014.

JackISbacK3824d ago

both consoles will not be filled at launch day because 3rd party games are not that big and only exclusives are big ,ps4 owners will have no problem if any body of them buy all launch titles because there are not much exclusives ,most of them are indie which will require 2gb most.xbox ownere still can face problem because they are having lot of choises in terems of games,but still it will not completely filled ,but there will not any space left for extra apps from xbox live if any body buies all launch titles in xbox one.

NoLongerHereCBA3824d ago

BBBirdIsTheWord, You have to buy 2.5inch HDDs :)

Deathdeliverer3824d ago

You don't have to install on ps4. Just need enough space to cache the data. So say 50gb set aside for caching and your set from game to game. I wonder if XB1 has this as a option.

esemce3824d ago (Edited 3824d ago )

Even less mate as you wont have access to the full 500gb prob 430Gb.

If MS force mandatory FULL game installs then that would be a very bad move, partial installs with the option for full install or from disc play would be better.

The 360 install system is fine as it was.

Deadpoolio3824d ago

Yes but is the 35gb for Forza before you get home and have to download half your game or is that after you get home and have to download half your game or it will not function?

BLAKHOODe3824d ago

@minimur12

That's actually an advantage to the cloud. All your saves and profiles can easily be pulled down from the clown to store on a new HDD. So, if you switched out HDD at some point, all you would have to do is reinstall whatever games you want on there.

blackout3824d ago

No need to spend any extra money like you p4 users. X1 has UNLIMITED CLOUD STORAGE FOR ALL LIVE MEMBERS. http://www.informationweek....

BLAKHOODe3824d ago

@blackout

You seriously don't understand the cloud's storage.

Yes, it's unlimited and you can put as many game saves and profiles up their that your heart desires, but your games.. and all the games you DON'T have.. are all up there, too, waiting to be downloaded by you, just as the "on demand" games that are on PS3 and Xbox 360 are now. So, if you buy Dead Rising 3 or Killzone: Shadow Fall and download it, it'll still be up there in the cloud waiting to be downloaded again, available to everyone else who buys them. It's not like you can save your very own personal copy of those games and they will be available to you INSTANTLY on demand via the cloud. They will have to reinstall again.. and while you can play while it installs, you will still need to allow enough data to download before you can do that. Nobody knows how much data has to download before you can play.. so, it might be you have to download the first 10 GB of a 50 GB game to play, which would take my internet connection about 2 hours. I'm sure every game is different, but maybe now you get the idea.

Sony and microsoft went full retard with the HDD space... 500gb is so small. On top of that they put slow ass 2.5 inch 5200 rpg Hard drive in these... If it was 3.5 inch you could upgrade for cheap to 3-4 tb but NOOOO they had to chose the worst hard drive they can think of for the consumer.

xtremeimport3824d ago

well, Sony kinda put it in the users hands. They gave you something that'll get you by with the ability to upgrade yourself in the future.

Does MS let you to save game date to external drives? i cant remember. But i do know you cant upgrade the builtin HDD.

BLAKHOODe3824d ago

500 GB is too small, but I don't think they went full retard. They have always "started out" with small HDD. Why? Because they want you to upgrade, which puts more $$$ in their pockets.

I fill a 320 GB HDD on my PS3 in no time, so I knew a 500 GB wasn't going to hold s**t, especially with the size of next-gen games. But it's what they are giving us to work with right now. By the end of next-gen, I wouldn't be surprise if they are selling Xbox One and PS4 with 10 TB HDD.

xtremeimport3824d ago

I would like for them to make it a little more noticeable on the case. It's kind of an important statistic.

Seems like they've tried to hide it in the fine print a little.

Back-to-Back3824d ago

I dont get wtf they are doing with all that space. I can't even think of one pc game that came close to 30gb. Ryse isnt full hd either which is even more of a shocker. It almost seems like they are doing no data compression.

You can install and leave it on an external...and from what I understand (maybe not at launch) you can install and leave your games on the cloud servers as well.

BoriboyShoGUN3825d ago

You really think your going to play 50GB games directly off cloud? What magical connection do you have sir!

ma1asiah3825d ago

@ BoriboyShoGUN,

Some current gen games for the PS3 are already 40GB+ games are they not????

So when Gaikai is finally launched and as this is a cloud based streaming service wont this mean that you will be playing full games like Unchartered 2 or 3,The Last of Us etc via Gaikai which is SONY's cloud.

BoriboyShoGUN3825d ago

@ma1asiah

I dont know how thats going to work. I was under the assumption you would download them. If it is just streaming, I doubt we'll see games that size for a while.

DigitalRaptor3825d ago

"you can install and leave your games on the cloud servers as well".

Have you even considered the logistics of this? Why would you install (upload) your games on the cloud servers when the games are already on Microsoft's servers for you to download? That is epic data redundancy.

What you're suggesting is basically game streaming, but from Mifrosoft's game storage servers, rather than your own cloud space which is reserved for cloud saves, profile data etc.

cfir3825d ago (Edited 3825d ago )

It was never uploading your games to the cloud. All games are available from the store so you could download it to xbone if you already owned it. But this was tied to the DRM. So not sure it's still a feature. Why would you bother. You need the disk in the drive to play. It would have to be faster to re install from the disk than download.

mhunterjr3825d ago

@BoriboyShoGUN game steaming (onlive, gaiki) already works. The size of the game has nothing to do with it. All of the content is stored on the servers, all of the processing is handled in the cloud. Your controller input is sent to the servers, and (essentially) the video of your actions is streamed back to you.

Kayant3824d ago

@ma1asiah

true but like mhunterjr pointed out gaikai just streams the content nothing is stored on your XB1 locally. However as we know when you install a game you still need the disc for verification so if you save the data to the cloud it's wouldn't be able to read it because it's reads it from your hard drive. It's like the update program where on PS4 you get the digital version for a discounted price but you still need the PS3 disc in your PS4 to play the game.

Also I don't think that type of data is related to the unlimited space MS is giving to everyone.

Ravenor3824d ago

@ All of you

You aren't storing anything beyond profiles and save games on the cloud, goodness gracious.

@ Some of you

Gaikai and OnLive stream you the images of the game being run on other hardware. The control inputs are sent from the PS4 to the data center and the video being streamed to you reflects that. It's never the same as playing the game locally and the latency kills it. But what I'm trying to say is the size of the game is irrelevant, all that's streaming between you and the data centre is the video feed of your game and control inputs.

you can download from the disc as you play and remove them. Its not a big deal. You can also add an external drive. PS4 games will do the exact same thing, and are also quite large. It would have been nice to have option to upgrade the internal drive, but with cloud storage, and digital download play as you download, who cares.

Afaik external hdds are not supported at launch on x1.

This is a huge issue for me going forward. I will have to buy a SAN just to have 50 games on my console!

BLAKHOODe3824d ago

You still have to install so much data before you can "play as you download". Nobody knows how much data that is, but if the game is close to 50 GB, I'd say it could be anywhere from 5 to 10 GB, which would still take my connection 1 to 2 hours. So, it's not like you can just push the download button and start playing 20 seconds later. You might have to give it a few hours.

It was just ok. Looked really good for an Xbox game though

Snookies12614d ago

"for an Xbox game"

Way to subtly throw shade there. It looked amazing compared to any game at the time it was released.

Never played it myself though, wasn't really interested in it personally. Plus it came at a time when I didn't own an Xbox console. But it was at least different than the usual copy/paste games we get. So I hope it gets another chance sometime soon.

It was a stunning game on all basis. One of the standout games for Xbox as a whole. I ended up buying on pc as well… and yes nothing looked better than it in PC at the time either. Nothing just ok about it, definitely needs a sequel.

@snookies12, don't pretend like the Xbox One didn't struggle with being gimpled by its tiny pool of ESRAM as a frame buffer. It was significantly weaker than the PS4.

I really liked the original Ryse but Crytek doesn't have the funds. The mismanaged their properties and let EA raid them with Crysis for the duration of their relationship. Right now they are working on Crysis 4, I doubt they can spare resources to work on a Ryse sequel.

It would have to be funded by MS, I really liked Ryse sure it got repetitive but the setting visuals and story were good

moriarty1889614d ago

MS should have funded a sequel to Ryse and Sunset OD. Two good franchises they definitely needed last gen.

annoyedgamer614d ago

MS is too busy trying to become the next EA, Ryse wont be on their list of titles to finance unless it gets a hipster makeover with lootboxes.

darthv72614d ago (Edited 614d ago )

I recently bought it for the steamdeck and have to say... 60fps is a game changer. I really wished MS had gotten a one x patch or series boost mode option but sadly, nope. Other games that definitely deserve a second chance (esp on steamdeck/pc) are quantum break and sunset overdrive. Both deserved 60fps support on one x / series but you have to go to PC for that.

Rumor has it Crytek had plans for a Ryse 2 but due to the low turnout for XB (at the time) it was shelved. They really should give this another shot. i dont care if its multiplat on PS and XB and PC and Switch... just so long as part 2 gets made.

This is not what I would call value for money spent. They give you quests in liveservice games to get you "re-engaged" with the monetization schemes or to get you hooked or so you at least spend some extra on skins and loot boxes. Then they dole out paltry points after you have already paid extra for whichever liveservice within a liveservice that you are already paying for. My worry is people can't actually be that stupid to fall for this, can they?

Absolutely nothing in this comment makes sense. At all.

anast619d ago (Edited 619d ago )

How does it not make sense? O thy god of reason, shine some evidence upon us. Ryse of Rome, ESO,and AC: Origins are all live service games, between them you can get 275 points. Liveservice games are made to keep people spending. Therefore, Gamepass is a live service and the points are for playing live service games.

It is not my problem that this does not make sense to you, it is absolutely your problem. I mean it is all your problem.
