Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut won't be out until August. We have a good idea of its file size now thanks to the official PlayStation Store.

Not surprising since it includes all the latest updates as well as the expansion dlc. All this would increase file size no matter how good data compression is.

VerminSC1390d ago

Poor optimization. Yeah it has a lot more content but not enough to justify that increase.

Battlestar231390d ago

Are you a dev? Please list the games you have worked on so we can see your superior optimization.

tombfan1390d ago

Lol I was going to answer in the same way, he isn't a dev, he just assume about things like everyone here, we don't know how process are so we just comment what we think is the right thing.

So yeah, Vermin doesn't have a clue.

VerminSC1390d ago

And you do? There are much larger games with far more assets that are smaller. Just because you have a boner over the game doesn’t mean it’s optimized properly.

You do release the initial file size on PS4 is BEFORE the patches and multiplayer added right? I guarantee you when you put this up against the PS4 version Director's Cut the PS5 version will be smaller.

Not necessarily. Death Stranding had to be gimped for PC.. Its 55GB PS 4/ 80GB PC... However the full Horizon ZD [all add-ons/ Frozen Wilds etc] is 46GB PS 4/100GB PC.. DS only requires standard Windows with 8GB of RAM... HZD is 64bit only and requires 16GB RAM.

Both run on Decima.

PS 4 uses the ZLIB Decompression module, which Cerny stated they were going to use with the PS5 but went with Kraken, which is 10% min more efficient than ZLIB. It varies on what types of files are compressed [ie data/audio/video etc].

To the site kiddies/MS/PC fanboys who will mark me down

More clueless anti PS kiddies.. Clue little boy, Killzone SF

https://www.eurogamer.net/a...

was 290GB, reduced to under 40GB via the PS 4s built in ZLIB decompression unit. Which is a 7.25:1 OPTIMISATION... Sony wanted to shut down the PS 3 store... WHY kid???

***‘Uncharted 3’ digital download requires 87GB of HDD, download size revealed***

Uncharted 3 is 87GB, on the PS 4 the entire Nathan Drake collection
https://www.gamespot.com/ar...

***Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection will take up more than 44 GB of space on your PlayStation 4 hard drive. That's according to a report from PlayStation Universe, which confirms the file size to be exactly 44.46 GB. That's larger than Grand Theft Auto V (41.8 GB), the site points out.

The Nathan Drake Collection launches on October 8 exclusively for PS4, though you can play a free demo starting September 29. It comes with 1080p/60fps versions of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, and Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.***

is under 45GB and that includes an upgrade to 1080p/60.

Now off you go, back on the naughty step and wait for the special bus..

You are one strange dude…

dbcoops1389d ago

"Video Game Optimization" describes a process for increasing the performance of a video game for better gameplay and visual experience."

"Good optimization means that the game works at the same framerate across a wide range of hardware specs, including low-end configurations." Maintaining that reliable framerate is where they see the importance of graphical settings, since they can bridge the large technological gap between low- and high-end PCs.

This is nothing to do with optimization.

"There are much larger games with far more assets that are smaller."

Which ones and what are their files sizes?

Screw this
It's a pass for me
I've been deleting games off my ps5 to make room for new games and I'm not deleting anymore

GhostofHorizon1389d ago

I never really have this problem personally. I start a game and finish it. Then either delete it right away if I know I won't play it again or delete it if I ever need room for something else.

I get that people like to have a few games on the go and I see the benefit of having all your games at the press of a button but there is really so much out there to play that going back to games is a rare thing for me.

How many games do people run on average at the same time?

Hellcat20201389d ago

That's fine if you can play that way but for me I have games that either had an expansion pack that just released or a new season as in big games like Valhalla or Cold War and games that just recently got patched for ps5 that I'd want to give another run in as God of War or TloU2 or even games like The Division 2 and Borderlands 3 and this doesn't include games that I don't want to delete like Returnal or Demons Souls and many other games.

justsomeoffdude1389d ago

" If you own a PS5, you will need 60 GB of space to install the game. This is larger than the 50 GB that was suggested for the original release, but the install size ended up at 35 GB. This doesn’t take into account the 12 GB of updates that were released after the launch of the game."

It was a great game.
All my Japanese friends loved it.
I remember I would visit my friend who owned a bar and we will talk about the game and sometimes other Japanese dude will join in. Pretty dope

-Foxtrot40d ago

That’s great and a little hilarious how when it was revealed western journalists tried to give off the impression that it came off racist with it being made by non Japanese developers.

CrimsonWing6940d ago

I hope western culture knocks this sh*t off. F*cking Parasites Eve took place in New York, does that make Square a bunch of racists?

-Foxtrot40d ago (Edited 40d ago )

Reminds me of Resident Evil

RE4 - Leon killing infected Spanaids...in Spain

Fine

RE5 - Chris killing infected Africans...in Africa

WHAT THE ACTUAL F*** YOU RACIST PRICKS. HOW COULD YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS?

MDTunkown39d ago

-Foxtrot
RE5 case it’s not that long ago when foreigners were killing local Africans. Leopold 2, killed millions Africans. So that’s a touchy historical topic. We don’t have any story driven games where you playing as Nazi.

goken40d ago

Somehow the same western journalists said nothing of AC shadows, when some Japanese were so offended they discussed it with their prime minister in the diet (Japanese parliament).

-Foxtrot40d ago

I've never actually thought of this...

They literally got really snarky with Ghost of Tsushima since it's announcement yet with AC Shadows they said absolutely nothing.

Double standards. Was it because it was Ubisoft or what?

Michiel198939d ago

how the f can you say this after literally everyone complains about AC? So you wanna say you checked which outlets did it for ghost "supposedly" and cross referenced them to the AC reviews? very believable

Cacabunga39d ago

western journalism is all about splitting of communities.

Don’t bother with obscured his last 2 brain cells died when he realized ALL NEW XBOX “EXCLUSIVES “ ARE COMING TO PLAYSTATION
It’s so bad he wrote the answer to his IQ leve as a new account, instead of writing iq 6 yeah he wrote YQIA6🤣.
NOW BACK TO THE TOPIC
Everyone knows that Japan lost their relevancy as the source of video games decades ago so it’s no surprise to anyone with 2 brain cells that this would happen now I would like to see any Microsoft exclusive have the courage to say how many units halo sold in Japan or better jet the number of consoles sold in its totality 🤷🏿

senorfartcushion39d ago

?

It's a AAA videogame. Western journalists only like and care about these games. It's Yotei that's lroving controversial, for stupid reasons - but it's journalists who are trying to talk that game up.
