The open-world game requires 32.04 GB of free space

All these file size articles... does the file size influence your purchase?

crazychris41243592d ago

Its not the size that counts, its how you use it

Ashlen3592d ago

I think it's an issue for people with internet data caps.

Rookie_Monster3592d ago

Well, if they have that issue with their ISP with caps, they can just get the disc version and install that on their HDD instead....Unless of course they live in a place where there are no game stores or a Target/Walmart close by.

_-EDMIX-_3592d ago

Agreed.

@Rookie-Well if they have caps, knowing the size helps if they are thinking of which version to get.

I don't mind downloading a game if its a small size, 5gb etc, if its like 30 or something, I'm getting it on disk, it really depends.

Hoffmann3592d ago (Edited 3592d ago )

A very big size can be an issue sometimes.

SmokingMonkey3592d ago

That's what she said.

Summons753592d ago

It could like how Ashlen said, people with internet caps may not want to get it being so big. Some people may want to prepare and delete things off the HDD before they buy it (physically or digitally) so there is room and no problems for the install/download. 32 is an okay size.

_-EDMIX-_3592d ago

Buy it on disk, install, delete when done. I don't think its based on someone not wanting to buy it if its larger, merely not wanting to buy the digital version.

I don't see someone not getting a game based on such an issue as that is a bit drastic and exaggerative.

"Some people may want to prepare and delete things off the HDD before they buy it"

Agreed. Its merely what I do and I still got like 600gbs left on my 1TB and I don't even download retail games, I merely just delete games I'm done with and reinstall if I need it.

Summons753592d ago

@ Edmix

The problem with deleting physical games off your hard drive is that it deletes any patches too which means the minute you put it back into the system it will reinstall pretty quick but you are automatically locked out from any multiplayer content until the Xgb download is done. It's a really flawed system forcing us to install every single game on disc and punishing us if we want extra space on our drive.

They're as bad as the resolution articles.

Mad Max Remains Criminally Underrated 9 Years Later

The Mad Max game, released in 2015 by Avalance Studio has turned 9 years old; is one of the most underrated games of recent times.

Yes it is. My only complaint with the game was one of the trophies tied to the time trials. I just thought it was tedious to try to go after it.

Other than that it was worth every penny.

SDuck290d ago

There's an unobtainable achievement tied to server gimmicks since the servers were shut down (for pc players, you can just get all other achievements and grab the save file with that achievement from nexusmod), but man do I love this game.
After Furiosa, I decided to go back and rewatch the original 3 movies and recognizing so many things on Mad Max 2 from the game made me appreciate the game even more!

RhinoGamer88290d ago

Agreed, so is Days Gone... shame.

ChasterMies290d ago

Oof no. It’s appropriately if not overrated.

ZeekQuattro290d ago

I still play it from time to time. Sucks it never took off as I remember looking forward to a possible sequel. Silly me.

Demetrius290d ago

On my 2nd playthrough and I still adore the vibe it gives

AAWELLS09289d ago

It def has a vibe to it and I agree its perfect for the game. Its such a shame it didnt get a sequel as I think it would've been their magnum opus.

Sorry George Miller, but you’re wrong about the Mad Max game

George Miller expressed dismay toward the 2015 Mad Max game recently, but Avalanche Studios' take on the lore is still so good to this day.

Mad Max is a good game... George Miller should STFU.

Old_Scout389d ago

He didn't say it wasn't good. Maybe you should take your own advice and look past the articles misleading headline. Here's the actual quote. “wasn’t as good as we wanted it to, it wasn’t in our hands.” That is all he said about it.

S2Killinit389d ago (Edited 389d ago )

In my opinion the guy himself Is pretty mediocre, so I dont like how he talks as if he’s something special. I dont think he would know a good game if it hit him in the face.

StormSnooper389d ago (Edited 389d ago )

If George Miller had good taste he wouldn’t be wearing those ridiculous glasses.

-Foxtrot390d ago

I think the funny thing is if Kojima made a Mad Max game it would be so trippy and "out there" I don't think it would feel like Mad Max by the time he's done with it. This is why he's better off with original new IPs.

Kojima seems like a buzz word these film directors use because he's probably the only big name they've heard from the gaming industry.

Wretchedstain390d ago

Article is correct in my opinion, Miller is wrong. That Death Stranding II trailer is bonkers, looking forward to that in itself.

And I agree, unless Mr Kojima wants to change his tune, or laughably, be told what to do, you're right, it wouldn't be Mad Max or close.

porkChop390d ago

Yup, Kojima really doesn't suit Mad Max. Avalanche did a great job though. It looked, felt, and played like what I'd expect from a Mad Max game. I really enjoyed my time with it, and the sand storms were handled incredibly well.

jznrpg389d ago

I think Kojima could definitely make a great Mad Max game.

SubtilizZer389d ago

I disagree… I don’t want to see Kojima do Mad Max or whatever… But I disagree with your take. Kojima is first a huge fan of film. I think saying he wouldn’t be able to stick to the lore of the world that was built is kinda crazy.

I’m sure he would be able to stick to the creative confines of the source material fairly well. Chances are he’s a huge fan.

I’m sure he’s a bit of a”buzzword” sure but I’m willing to bet it’s mutual respect for his work as well.

TheGamingHounds390d ago

I never played it but the recent buzz around Mad Max has piqued my interest. Will check it out this year for sure

maelstromb390d ago (Edited 390d ago )

MM is not a perfect game by any means as it was held back by lots of repetitious, standard open-world copy and paste missions, but the devs SO perfectly captured the world, atmosphere, lore and brutality. It also just so happens to boast one of THE best photo modes out there and some of the most impressive explosions I've ever seen in a game to date. The car combat is of course another impressive standout, both vicious and fun. MM is a game which I have revisited multiple times since its release, and now having just seen Furiosa, I can feel it calling me back again.

There's a ton to love there, but I think you'll pickup on the areas where the devs struggled likely due to reigning in the scope, budget and time constraints, leading to an incredibly fun, albeit uneven experience. Though, as mentioned, it's absolutely a game worth experiencing once, and I truly hope you enjoy it. The game really does deserve a sequel.

victorMaje389d ago

Word for word. Exactly this. A lot of fun to be had in there. A true Mad Max game. Sequel can’t come soon enough.

gigoran8389d ago

and the fact that they originally had an American voice actor until everyone kicked up a big stink about it?

maelstromb390d ago

Honestly, Kojima would do the game justice, but given his studio's current workload, it's a bit far flung. I could much rather see Bend Studios (Days Gone dev) doing a Mad Max follow-up. I'm playing through DG right now for the first time and I see lots of similarities between the games to where imo Bend could develop an impressive MM sequel.

jznrpg389d ago

Bend does makes sense. But I’d rather they made Days Gone 2 (no multiplayer of course) as I really like the motorcycle and the hordes of zombies was a lot of fun.

VersusDMC390d ago

While i like the Mad Max game and think it's underrated...i don't know why people are mad at George Miller for not liking the game based on the IP he created. Especially since a lot of people hated it at release as well looking at that 69% metacritic.

-Foxtrot389d ago

I think the issue is the studio was told by higher ups and most likely himself to make something linear yet when they got a first look at it they didn’t like it and wanted something open world

The head guy was basically like “you’ve just hired an open world dev and forced them to do a linear game yet now you want open world which has just wasted a year of development which we could have done from the start”

I think that’s why people are p****** because of the context the lead dev at Avalanche has given us.

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.

thorstein428d ago

Mad Max is underrated. Such a fun game.

Cacabunga427d ago (Edited 427d ago )

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

JonTheGod427d ago (Edited 427d 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!

exputers427d ago

I see what you did there.

Yi-Long427d 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 ...

Demetrius427d ago

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

redrum06399d ago

It's a shame they cancelled the game. Definitely the best racing game I've ever played on Playstation. Just got GT7, but it feels so slow and less arcade-y, which is to be expected of a sim racer of course, that I just enjoy it less.
Driveclub also graphically looked insanely good for its time. I wonder what a Driveclub 2 would look like for the PS5.

Demetrius427d 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
