No surprise there, the minimum requirement was listed since it was up in the PSN which was 60GB
You're going to be very much in the minority on that one. I'd wager the vast majority of people are not concerned about whether a game they buy today will be playable forever, much less say, 10 years from now.
Do games download the rest of the game in rest mode? Previously I've bought digital games and they've downloaded the amount so that you can start (icon on the homescreen) then the rest seems to not go anywhere in rest. Nor can you pause it as it's not in the download list. I really dislike the PS4's OS...
They have always been able to download in rest mode, I have been doing it since launch. I have even noticed the download go faster when in rest compared to when it is powered on.
And since recent updates, you can pause downloads, and the rest (after the initial download) has now been patched to appear in notifications so you can pause it at any time.
Bigger patches than this, and a disc almost becomes useless. What`s the point? People buy physical games on consoles so they won`t have to go trough huge downloads. 15 GB is too much. When I help people as an Xbox ambassador, I always have to calm down people who are frustrated because of this.
This is a MMO, what did you expect? As an online only focused game that gets regular content updates and patches this is the norm for this genre.
They can't throw it all on the disc and then be done with it.
I know, but Halo MCC wasn`t online only or MMO.
well at least the PS3 enjoyed a long period of single discs. the Xbox however will see another multi-disc situation for the second generation in a row.
Looks like publishers are just gonna cheap out instead putting 2 discs in the case.
Do triple layered Blu-Ray's not work on the consoles then?
If the consoles don't support disc swapping then it's not cheaping out.

The content can't just be heavily compressed since it is just installed on HDD?
Haven`t Sony made 100 GB Bluray discs long ago? Do Xbox One and PS4 even support these?
It's an MMO, so hardly surprising. GTAV also exceeds 50Gb with the patches, and I'm sure others do.
So what happens when offline games doesnt fit on a single disc? Aren't these games suppose to work without checking in too?
Just split the game over two discs, you weirdos.
It's not like it's run from them.
I don't think we'll see offline games much anymore. As in pure offline, everything has that day one patch/download.
Why pay for a second disc when you can just make people download it.
Hardly anyone supports BDXL. It's mostly used by people that want to archive tons of data. You could probably print double digit discs for a game and still come out cheaper than a single BDXL compatible disc
Doesn`t Ultra-HD movies have a 66GB dual-layer or a 100 GB triple-layer Blu-ray disc?
Requires new hardware and releasing at the end of 2015. Wouldn't have even been possible.
No need to be a dick.
Do you understand how patching systems work? Client+some data on disk 1, more content on disk 2.
Its a simple concept and we've been downloading additional content for console games and updates for a long time. The same rules apply no matter the medium the data is delivered on.
So... Why would multiple disks not work again?
II would bet it is because the OS cannot handle a single install split over two disks.
