Jesus, they seriously need to do something about the file sizes for these games. I hope that's something they improve when next gen consoles launches. This is getting ridiculous.

What do you expect. Games are getting bigger in scope and visuals every year. That means file size

xRacer74x1660d ago

People expect 4k or Higher assets that takes space. Sure they could compress them but do you want slowdowns in games while it loads compressed data. Not to mention Rockstar streams, loads data on the fly as you play.

Profchaos1660d ago

Next gen games are expected to decrease in size because of ssds right now data if often duplicated random assets may be present on the hard drive multiple times street lights for example.
It's done like this to make data accessible at the right time given the read speed of SSD it actually makes that process of duplication obsolete.

As such game sizes may now be decreased overall

Edgelordsupreme1659d ago

Lol, this is not how it works at all.

Profchaos1659d ago

@edgelordesupreme read the ps5 wired article it's detailed exactly like that in the article

Hard Drives are so cheap and even SSD drives are cheap now. No worries this will go on SSD for me though I want the best EXP.

Krew_921660d ago (Edited 1660d ago )

Exactly. These days SSDs are extremely affordable. I wish we had modular installs like a lot of older PC games had though. I don't care much for online or different language packs other than English. It would be cool if we could choose certain components to save on a decent amount of space.

xRacer74x1660d ago

I would agree with that. I have no interest in playing the game online so I would not installed that stuff.

Sarcasm1660d ago (Edited 1660d ago )

^This. A 1TB Samsung SSD EVO is only $130. I have one for my PS4 (even though it's not a massive improvement in speed) That's good for a lot of games. On my PC I have the 2TB model for purely as a games drive.

xRacer74x1660d ago

Yep that is what ! have for games and a 512 M2 for OS drive and then 10 tb of mechanical drive storage.

Profchaos1660d ago (Edited 1660d ago )

I have a 1 tb crucial in my ps4 pro I should have done it sooner games like fallout reduced from 45 seconds to enter a room to 11.

Knightofelemia1660d ago

I gotta wait now until December to get the game from Steam wow

--bienio--1660d ago

I’m getting from R* launcher.

goldwyncq1660d ago

That's like almost ten times the size of GTA IV lol

6 Games That Genuinely Deserve A Current-Gen Upgrade

Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.

thorstein8d ago

Mad Max is underrated. Such a fun game.

Cacabunga8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.

JonTheGod8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

Probably not very different.

No idea why this article is highlighting recent beautiful graphically-advanced games and saying they need current gen makeovers. They already look better than most new releases; just compare Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad!

Yi-Long8d ago

It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...

Demetrius7d ago

I'm not into racing games but yeah I even looked at gameplay of that sometimes

Demetrius7d ago

Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh

hmm kinda out there i find red dead 2 a over hyped game i am sure there are other's out there worthy of this award.

Are we saying rdr 2 mp is better than the first one?

The cover shooting better on #2 than #1?

I mean they reused 80% of rdr 1 map on rdr 2

smolinsk26d ago

Red Dead Redemption 1 was better. A better story that's for sure but the world in red Dead Redemption 2 is fantastic. But overall yes Red Dead Redemption 2 is overhyped but with best living World ever made.

just_looken26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

Oh rdr 2 world how you leave tracks what you can do and the npc's are great no doubt

For me its the forced guns one way to play missions and the camp you can do nothing be a ass and there is no change sense none of the hunting/donating.bounty/karma etc even taking care of your horse matters. Then you got the horse inventory along with them bringing in realistic inventory but at the same time have that slomo crap pick a lane is it a wild west sim or a max payne rip off.

shinoff218325d ago (Edited 25d ago )

Plus who cares about the mp. Single player is where it's at.

I don't think it's the best sequel either. I liked it but I can see why some say it's overhyped. That's because it was. Great game still. I'd take xcom 2 as a better sequel. I'm sure there's plenty others.

just_looken25d ago

We care about mp because of gta v even if you been living under a rock you know what gtao did to gta v dlc.

Though rdr 2 mp failed it still put time/resources and budget away from the single player for a subpar experience compared to the first.

lucasnooker26d ago

Hmmm don’t know about that one myself. There’s some good sequels there….

No way last of us 2 was a better sequel than the original resident evil 2. The story of TLOU2 was a huge let down for me!

Assassins creed 2 was a vast improvement over the original and still the very best of the entire franchise imo.

Half-life 2 will always be legendary.

RDR2 is great but the best sequel ever? I don’t think so… just my opinion though I guess

shinoff218325d ago

Shoot down last of us 2 but bring up assassins creed 2. What in the world.

anast26d ago

Last of Us 2 would be mine and Dark Souls 3 has to be up there.

raWfodog26d ago

I also enjoyed TLOU2 but RDR2 edges it out for me. Both hit me in the feels but RDR2 just a little bit more lol.

anast26d ago

RDR2 is an excellent game. One of my top 10 of all time.

SimpleSlave26d ago

Sure, if you started playing game yesterday and just for this series. Otherwise? lol... No.
