Weren't the reports of it being 2gb plus? Maybe the update isn't final yet?
Maybe. I would be interested in seeing how much space it's actually taking up on the hard drive, assuming the XB1 still has the option of seeing what's on your HD in a detailed and organized way.
:lol
I don't know why I find that funny. I guess in the face of all these massive next gen games (and EA current gen ports) it's weird seeing this.
were did you get these numbers
So? That is how it is with the 360 too. You get a new game, press install and watch a bar fill up.
Oh wait you are one of those people...

My pitiful 80GB FUP is about to have a really bad time in the next year or so. Terbinator

Ugh, 1 hour between me opening up the Xbone and playing Forza once it has downloaded.
Smite me almighty smiter!

In all seriousness I can't believe there are people out there that play 360 games without installing them. Fuck that drive noise.
Well we know Killzone: SF takes a few mins before it throws you into gameplay. We don't know if it's cause a mandatory install before boot or if it's cause of story cutscenes, but we do know that you need to download at least 7.5GB's before you can play if you go digital. So either the BD drive does a ~8GB install in under 3 mins or you can boot it and the game installs in the background.
If it does turn out to be that both consoles require you to do mandatory installs before you can boot them, I think KZ:SF, a game built with only next gen in mind, is what we can reasonably expect when all cross gen games die.
Thanks, added to OP.

Nice. Probably will start Zoo Tycoon first to get something to play quickly.

How is CoD 39GB on Xbone and 49GB on PS4?
One's 720p, the other's 1080p?

Does that really amount to a 10GB difference?
Then again current-gen probably has around 8GB and the visual difference between them and XB1 is kinda small too.
Multiple languages perhaps? The PS4 case was a Euro case so it might have a few more languages and fwiw even the XBO case says "up to 49GB's required".

I have to wonder if they've even put much extra work into FIFA?
How long have you worked there?

Not liking the install setup at all. I know this was part of the original DRM plan but why not use the same system Sony is using which is a lot more practical?

Im assuming we can download off the marketplace and install a game at the same time? So when I get my Xbox One, I can install Ryse/DR3 whatever whilst downloading Forza 5 to save some time? Tempted to go and get Killer Instinct as its so small and play that for a bit whilst the others download/install.

You truthfully think a mandatory install that takes 25 minutes is "okay" heading into a new generation with the technology to avoid it?
I mean ignoring the blantant personal attack, it is okay?
(For the record, I hate mandatory installs this generation and the PS3 is the worse offender here.)

Do all the physical copies of games require installation before they can be played?

I usually play on PC so I guess, yes? PS4 has the same thing, although we don't know how much time it takes we do now that you need to install a certain amount to disk before you can play.
I'm having a hard time believing the 25 minute install, that would be terrible. Wii U bad ( anyone who has downloaded from the eshop knows this pain ).
I can understand a couple minutes but 25? That seems like poor design on MS part. They are a software company, you would think they will be the first to realize this is a bad idea. Hopefully this is part of the issues being cleaned up for launch.
Return to grab a sandwich if true.

uncompressed audio maybe?
Check recent PC game file sizes and come back to us.
Anywhere from 15gb to 50GB is the norm for the "big games". My 256GB SSD weeps. I need a 1TB drive now.
Edit: I'll do the work based off the top 10 list on Steam.
CoD Ghosts - 40GB
Rome 2 - 35GB
AC4 - 30GB
Xcom - 20GB

Well all we know so far is Killzone is (from that tweet) about three minutes. Then you play while it finishes in the back ground.
What we know so far is that it took this fellow 25 minutes from disc insert to playing on Call of Duty: Ghosts.
I'm complaining because 25 minutes seems a fucking absurd considering I thought background installs was going to be a common theme this launch. All while (apparently) revealing some nefarious preference to Playstation 4 going into this next generation.

The austrian version has additional english audio confirmed too, on XBone, first time in history.
On 360 it always was german only. Maybe some more gigs for that.
Given everything else we know about COD:Ghosts I would probably avoid using it as an indicator of anything without knowing about any other games.

25 minutes for the whole thing seems about right (based on 360 install sizes/times) - would be nice if you could start playing earlier but not sure if this is supported.
Higher fidelity audio and high bit rate 1080p cutscenes would be my guess. I expect most devs will be pumping out full hd cutscenes now that they don't have to worry about the 360's DVD size limitations. Just look at some of the games that bothered with high quality cutscenes this gen; FFXIII is ~40GB's on PS3 (~20GB's on the 360 with lower bitrate scenes), Uncharted 3 is 44GB's, God of War: Ascension 34GB's, MGS4 ~34GB's, Killzone 3 41GB's...

Obviously not, as evidenced by my posts on the matter. And you took that gentle ribbing as a blatant personal attack?
Dude, come on...
Yeah, but what's the point if you can just upgrade to a 2TB?

the 360 versions had 2 different versions for the province of Quebec, an English copy and a French copy. So i guess that your guess is true about multiple language localisations included on 1 BluRay

Where is this massive increase in size coming from? Uncompressed textures? Higher quality sound?
Yeah same here, 25 min is too much, consoles are slowly becoming like pc, One thing I loved about console gaming was that you didn't had to install or configure settings, you just inserted the game and boom in less than a minute (or just a few seconds in cartridges) you were playing
