PS4 vs XBO – Top 20 Disparities in Install Sizes

Finder has run a report detailing the games that have the biggest difference in install sizes between their PS4 and XBONE versions.

SlappingOysters3562d ago

Some of those are pretty massive. Why the hell can a developer nail compression on one console and not the other. (well, nail better)?

uth113562d ago

I doubt it's just a compression problem. There are probably more the amount of runtime components that need to be distributed with the game to make it work

SlappingOysters3562d ago

So that would be tied specifically to the hardware you think? It would not be the same runtime components across the two titles?

uth113562d ago

yes exactly, things like hardware/OS. Like (speculating on the details here) this game may require .net version x, while that game requires version y. there's no guarantee that either will be installed on the target xbox, so the game ships with them. .net being an MS technology it's not likely Sony uses it.

Just using that as an example as I don't know if any Xbox games actually use .net,

SlappingOysters3558d ago

Thanks uth11 that was great insight!

sarahnade3562d ago

Wow, they really add up. Crazy how you can have the exact same collection and much less memory on Xbox.

MysticStrummer3562d ago

Wow. I heard a Gamestop employee talking about this to a customer, but I had no idea the differences could be so large. ESO is already a huge install on PS4, but damn...

Milk...get your milk...and so much more. Really when you release the same games in three editions over 15 years it's amazing how much money, and the amount of sales you earn. It's amazing how no one can compete.

Mr_cheese34d ago

To be fair, no many companies could release the same game over and over. They've earned that whether we agree or not

DarXyde34d ago

I mean Resident Evil 4 has had longer legs and still hasn't done anything like this.

Profchaos34d ago (Edited 34d ago )

GTA v isn't the only game that's released three consoles generations running but nothing has sold those numbers including GTA San Andreas which is now 4 console generations deep.

anast34d ago

Looks like a 2040 release for GTA6

gold_drake34d ago

thats insane right?
absolutely insane

rlow133d ago

No surprising considering that it’s been on every major platform and store.

I decided to look up the longest and most sold games list. To my surprise Tetris has takes the top spot.

I mean, considering the amount of time between the two. It better be a massive upgrade. Especially with the amount of money Rockstar raked in from GTA Online.

MDTunkown41d ago

Most of scenes are pre rendered

andy8541d ago

Literally none are. If you know anything about rockstar they don't do that. Confirmed by themselves that this is all in-game

MDTunkown41d ago

Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?
Rockstar told 50% are cutscenes and rockstars always used better models during cutscenes than in game.
You legit seems to know rockstar very well.

andy8541d ago (Edited 41d ago )

It didn't though? And neither did RDR2. In fact it was actually the opposite. What's with the hate boner? If you don't like it just avoid the topic

InUrFoxHole40d ago

Why don't either of you provide proof. This is just a he said, she said argument at this point

generic-user-name41d ago

You're either lying or just don't know what pre rendered means. Pre rendered means that if you change the character's appearance (clothes, accessories etc) they wouldn't show up in the cutscenes because they were already made and aren't being rendered in real time. This is something that doesn't happen in Rockstar games.

"Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?"

In fact some of the scenes in RDR2 looked better in the retail version than at launched.

anast41d ago

The OP is taking the shot-gun approach: say a bunch of random tripe and see if something sticks.

repsahj41d ago

Damn! GTAV graphics are still awesome! But, I am so excited to play GTA6!!!
