Good lord @ that mandatory install. Microsoft needs to get working on the external hard drive solution. That 500 GB isn't going to last at this rate.

aceitman3704d ago

The game is only 16.5 gig whats up with that

jackanderson19853704d ago

wasn't that just the beta? (alpha was only 4.5 i think) also could be accounting for future DLC and microtransactions and updates they all take up space aswell

Eonjay3704d ago

Wait so for those Xbox One bundled with the download code, how large is the download file? I think its great you can get if for free but personally I would prefer the disc just because these files are getting so large.

patsrule3163704d ago

@eonjay,

I was under the impression that it doesn't matter if you have the disc or the download code, it takes the same amount of space on your hard drive. As far as I know, it installs the game to the disc either way, and only checks that the disc is in the drive, but doesn't use the files on the disc while you play.

Gazondaily3704d ago

OMG....40GB??!

When is this external HDD support coming because I'm already feeling the bite and I hardly have that many games!

VENOMACR12273704d ago (Edited 3704d ago )

I don't understand how people are filling up their hard drives so quick. Do you have every game available? I've got 4 and still have over 250GB free. I'm not worried about space at all. Eventually Madden, NBA 2K, BF, and Forza will get deleted when new ones come out. Heck, I had the original 360 20GB hard drive the entire life of the console. I'd just delete stuff I no longer played.

As for the size of the game, 40GB might seem like a lot, but you've got 15 multiplayer maps, tons of challenges, loadouts and weapons, not to mention the titans. However, I was expecting somewhere between 20-30GB.

GUTZnPAPERCUTZ3704d ago

@Jack anderson, Beta was 3.5ish on Xbox One for me. PC Beta are always larger because MS only allows under 4gb for beta's or demos :/

alexkoepp3704d ago

40 is way bigger than the alpha/beta, I'm thinking that rumor of 25% resolution for textures in the alpha was probably true, probably alot higher resolution audio to perhaps.

kreate3704d ago

@venomacr

20gb 360 hdd only gives u 13.9 gb of space for u to use.

This isn't enough at all.

I remember I installed the mass effect 2nd disk,apps, and. Few trailers. Than the 13.9 hdd was all filled.

Forget xbl games, didn't even have space for dlc.

thehitman3704d ago

@ Pats

The main difference is that downloading from a code you have to connect to a server on the internet which will be hit by everyone downloading from the internet. Also if you have bad ISP service it will take longer then installing straight from the disk.

almost every game installs stuff on your hard drive nowadays. I own a PS4 and it's not difference. But 40GB seems like a lot.

hulk_bash19873704d ago

Wow Microsoft needs to add support for upgradable hard drives asap. These mandatory installs are eating up some major hdd space.

avengers19783704d ago

40 gigs seems a bit much... I think the interesting thing here is the price cut and free TitanFall( i think UK only ) to me that has the smell of desperation to sell consoles.
I mean price drop and giving away a game that could be a quote "system seller"

mcarsehat3704d ago

im ok with that, especially after nba 2k14 but why does it say up to?

3-4-53704d ago

At that rate you can fit 12.5 games on the 500 GB Hardrive.

But we all know you don't get 500 GB, you get something like 450 GB, so you can fit like 10-12 games of this size on XB1, or maybe up to 20/25 of smaller games.

500 GB just isn't enough.

TheOmniGamer3704d ago

Hory shiet, well the BETA 4 GBs with 2 maps and barely any content, hopefully this means there's a ton of content in the game... I hope.

ExCest3704d ago

The beta was not 4 gb. It was like 12 something on PC. Maybe it was 4 for the nonexistent Xbox360 version.

joefrost003704d ago

The beta on xbox one was 4.8 gigs

famoussasjohn3704d ago (Edited 3704d ago )

It was 4.8ish GB on Xbox One for the beta.

ExCest3703d ago

@^ Seriously? I thought the new generation of consoles was supposed to be sort of equal to the PC versions. What did they cut?

Megaton3704d ago

How do you bloat Source engine assets that badly?

joefrost003704d ago

They said they were using a heavily modified source engine

TheFallenAngel3704d ago

Is a good thing Sony offers the option to upgrade hard drives. At this rate you will fill your hard drive with a few games. What's the other option on xbone when it runs out of memory?

vallencer3704d ago

Well when the update comes out, the other option will be just plugging up an external hard drive to it. So basically exactly what the ps4 does except I just plug something in versus opening up my console and switching hard drives. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

GentlemenRUs3704d ago (Edited 3704d ago )

A ONLINE-ONLY game should NEVER take up this much space, Something's obviously wrong here...

Textures: 3-4GB
Sounds: 5-6GB
Objects(Only Meshes/Animations): 2-3GB
Map files(They only contain geo data): 2-3GB

So where's the other 24GB's coming from!?

Ace Killa 083704d ago

Doesn't WOW take up like 60GBs??

Drekken3704d ago

WoW has 10 years of expansion packs and humongous worlds. This game is 15 maps tops.

stamps793704d ago

WOW is currently at 29.3GBs with all expansions and current patches on my system.

Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.

MadLad585d ago

Lol

All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.

Venoxn4g584d ago (Edited 584d ago )

XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games

An ode to Titanfall: The last twitch shooter I'll probably ever enjoy

Windows Central: "Titanfall 1 is being sunset, taken off storefronts by EA. While the servers remain live for now, one has to wonder just how much time it has left. I look back and pay tribute to the last "twitch"-styled shooter I ever truly loved."

Respawn Entertainment is Discontinuing Sales of Original Titanfall

Sales for the original Titanfall are being discontinued.
It will be pulled from subscription services on March 1, 2022.

Ethereal866d ago

Physical media. Unfortunately the way games are going these days game servers will eventually be shut down and you can stare at the menu and wish you could play the game again.

littletad865d ago

This is why reading is so important. Nothing to do with digital or physical media. The game, which is online only, is being delisted because of DDOS and other hacker attacks. The case got so bad that only six players in the world log on. For PC. Rather than fix it, they continued to sell the game, broken as it is, and only now just decided to call it quits. But please, go on thinking what you will.

Ethereal863d ago

I'm aware of the DDOS attacks and that this case is not typical. This game would eventually have it's servers shutdown regardless of the current situation so that is a moot point. My comment was in a general sense and that there are instances in which games can be preserved physically when official support ends.

Let's recap your first sentence. I said, "the way GAMES are going these days" indicating a broader stroke than just this game. I agree, reading IS important. I was simply stating the obvious downsides of the digital marketplaces and online only trends in games these days. I could even make the argument that the online only offering which has allowed hacker manipulation has impacted the preservation of this great game. My comment is valid in the general sense and thank you for your permission to continue to think what I will.
