Fuck these 500gb consoles. X1 and PS4 shoulda had a TB day one.

It's great you can have external/ larger hard drives in these machines. What isn't great is the need to do that after owning a certain amount of games.

For real man, a 2 tb external HDD is like 80 bucks. Just grab a Western Digital My Passport Ultra 2tb and hook it up to the Xbone. It's usb3.0, and according to Digital Foundry it actually outperforms the default 5400 rpm drive in the Xbone, so it's really a win win.
We'd still be saying the exact sam thing if they came with 1TB drives too. At least the rate I've been buying games.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this the "fundamentally unplayable" game that was hinted at a few weeks ago? I remember seeing something about it being confirmed to be this.
Anyway that's a big damn update plus the I'm sure 5GB day 1 patch.

It was certainly hinted at, but did we get any proof it was this game? As much as I dislike ubisoft, I really doubt they would rush another outing to market after the unity shitstorm.
Or, dont. Buy from the UK store as then you can at least get a refund via the new consumer rights law for it being a broken game if the reports are true.

Yeah, I´ve seen something like that aswell.
Here´s hoping that Ubisoft pulls the same move as THPS5 and release a 45GB Day One Patch to fix the game.
Seriously though, if this is the broken game they were talking about, oh man...it´s going to get ugly.
More like fuck Sony for not supporting external HDDs. I got 2.5 tb available for my Xbox One.
That was the hint, and the same outlet made a video stating how bad the performance was, yet had no footage to back it up. Meanwhile on the same day countless YouTube channels uploaded many hours worth of their own play sessions from the same event, and any performance issues were pretty minor. Just do a search on YouTube for the game, and you'll find a ton of footage from about a week ago.

And what does that have to do withthe lack of external HDD support not being total bullshit?
Good point.
And if you preorder digitally in the UK, Microsoft now allow you to cancel the preorder (there's a section on their website now).
And then Tony hawk came out
Why? Wouldn't this game in particular be a good moment to throw the british a bone?

Or just wait until the game is out and watch/read impressions and reviews. Even easier.

We've already had conflicting reports. I don't think the game deserves the benefit of the doubt; nobody should be pre-ordering after last year's debacle.
Was Unity that big? Not at my PC right now but last time I checked it was about 30gb-ish, no idea on XO though.
For me regardless of the size I'd end up filling it up anyways. Couple that with having shocking internet having a small HDD size I could understand it being a kick in the teeth but I've got 2tb+ of stuff installed via Steam, Origin and Battle.net that believe it or not I regularly go through.
Either way the money goes to Ubisoft, you know the French company.

Right, forgot about that. They're still salty about Agincourt?
Unity PC is, including DLC, a 45.1GB download/50.7GB install.
Edit: Excluding DLC, the install size is roughly 42.8GB.

500GB is a pathetic amount considering a lot of games are coming out as 40-50GB and some of the 500GB isnt even available to use(atleast on X1, something like 350GB is the actual hard drive space).

AC Unity is 47.57GB on my PS4, so this would actually be smaller!
Have there usually been any big differences between Xbox One and PS4 install sizes? I just remember Wolfenstein being huge on every platform.

I'd imagine Waterloo is a bit more fresh in the memory but you folks are just as complicit in that!
Hahaha well proves what I know.

I think it balances out because, you can't remove the internal hard drive from the Xbox One like the PS4, right?
You're comparing a year old game with all the patches + DLC etc.
PS4 HDD is encrypted and tied to the PS4. Xbox One external HDDs are not and you can have multiple connected and you can take it to a friends place. If I wanted to I can have like 10tb hooked up. They also perform faster than the internal HDD.

500Gb is absolutely fine for the vast majority of people, and anyone that needs more space can easily get it on either console.
How many games do you think the average person owns? And how many people do you think have a problem with deleting a game they haven't played in ages?

People said the same thing about 20gb and 60gb consoles last generation.

But what about the FIFA/madden/cod crowd?
I know quite a few people with ps4's who only play FIFA and cod. For those people, 500gb will last the generation.
Poop!

Adding to your existing HDD space will always be better than replacing your existing HDD space regardless of what console you are talking about.
Yup I don't get the complains. I also want 6 cylinder car instead of 4 but I know it also cost more. I am not saying why they didn't put 6 cylinder car in cost of 4 cylinder one.
Its viable for the company now so they are selling 1TB version after almost 2 years since launch.
I have 4TB hooked up to my Xbox, paid $120
Sony released a 12Gb PS3 in 2013 and the same applies. Most people buy very few games.
are we really trusting sponsored youtubers? if their playing early copies of it, i don't expect to see any bugs or hear any complaints. same for people on twitch with early copies.
Other than that one weird jumping animation on Hannahs videos I haven't seen anything unusual

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
Tbf it could have been THPS5 considering how fucker that is.
Are they really any different from mainstream publications? Both rely on the publishers for content. My point is that we have a few sites claiming the game was running poorly while everyone else is saying that it ran fine, and the hours upon hours of footage point to the later being more accurate. I couldn't care less about the impressions of the press, but rather what I can see with my own eyes during raw gameplay footage.
