LOL I was about to post that. So true. I remember RDR2 taking forever to install and the data was already available to me. RIP

While Spyro is too important for me to not play this just kills me. I have a 100GB cap each month and I already downloaded Nier Automata on the Xbox One which was 44GB or so. External Hard Drives make space management a bit easier and my download speed is manageable (this would be a few hours). The download sizes are really hurting me, though and I live in southern California!
Any confirmation of Xbox file sizes?
Edit: According to this, the Xbox One version has a 42GB update. I am not amused:

Go to a frens house for internet? Man the moment they give me monthly caps I'll drop my net.

No joke, I am the one with good interet. My friend use to bring his PS3 over to my house for updates a few years ago. The only good news is there may finally be a better internet option coming soon to where I live with no caps and a little bitter better speed.

This message actually shows up in game.
Welcome to the future of video games people. Gone are the days when on-disc DLC was thought as being the worst thing ever. Now the disc contains no content at all!
Fuck no!! We have to stop this atrocity before is too late.

Lol. I'm seriously going to see this message. I'm past my data cap until the 27th due to updating and downloading stuff on my Xbox One now that I'm jumping ship from Sony. If the patch is really 42 GB on Xbox I'm screwed for now. I have a 100 GB cap each month...This message actually shows up in game.

Even Spyro lets me down. Such is modern gaming.

Hopefully they can downgrade and compress the game for the hypothetical Switch-port, so it can all fit on a 16GB card. As someone in this thread already pointed out, Crash was compressed from 25Gb to 5,2Gb. If the compression is about the same for Spyro, it would end up somewhere around 13Gb. Though Activision would probably cheap out even there and ship the game on 8Gb card, and have us download the rest.

Because the game is so big that's why its not all on disc,the blu-ray has only 50 gb,we can say that if they would find a way to compress it better it would fit,but then comes the question,how long you would need to wait to install it,for sure couple of hours

They could,because Switch has a lower resolution ,on PS4 and Xbox the game supports 4k so that one of the cause for it to be that big

OH,I didn't even know they do that,I guess for the price they ask for the game Activision didn't want to invest in multiple discs,cause it costs moneyThat's why you......

It's a shame and the guy at Activision who decided that is my personal enemy.
What's this compression technology you speak of? Do you eat it? - Devs since ps4 and xbone arrived.

Yikes, can you imagine people with no or very slow internet buying this game? It would literally be a coaster out of the box. And are blurays THAT expensive? Should have added another disc. I'm going to protest this and get it used for cheap down the line. I'm not paying full price just because of how they handled it.
Probably cost 1p for a disc. The fact they aren't consuming this cost on behalf of people who specifically bought the disc version is pretty disgusting. I get it all adds up, but there is NO-ONE who wouldn't have paid the extra 1p (or whatever it is) to get the full collection on disc.
Surely some sort of action could be taken against them for this? I mean it's right there on the box "3 games". You just aren't getting that... you need to pay for your broadband to download the other games. False advertising at best.

Interesting note on the PS4 disc version I just saw on forums, at least for North America version. Patch version 1.01 is apparently already on the disc, you only download 19GB from the internet, 31GB for the game, and then another 17GB is stealth installed from the disc that combines with the 19GB when it's installed. I assume this is what the delay was for, just to cut the internet install in half? Ugh...
No, I googled imaged RDR2 2 discs and got a photo of a photo of a photo displaying on someone's screen as the first I found.
Right under the "3 Games Remastered" line it has in small print (at least small on the PS4 version) at the very bottom of the front cover "Requires Content Download", of course it doesn't tell you what said content is to the uninformed customer, yet it's still enough for Activision to avoid false advertising. Lame I know.

Fuck you in the fucking ass so fucking much Activision for fucking up this beautiful trilogy you fucking motherfuckers god FUCKING DAMN IT I need to leave this thread.

We ain't outta here in ten minutes, we won't need no rocket to fly through space
Sorry to hear everyone on with data caps is having a bad time with this, the game itself is really, really fun and the developers have done a great job.
I strongly suggest you all write a quick email to Activision telling them exactly why you aren't buying this. Not buying it is one thing, but then Activision has no idea why you haven't bought it. Let them know! I'll be doing the same even though it's not a problem for me. Manufacturing an additional Blu-Ray costs a few bucks, so tell them that you'd be happy to spend that few bucks extra in future to ensure you can get the full product.
You might not think you'll make a difference, but there's plenty of people angry about this, they all add up!

They could have priced the games at $49.99 for the addiontial disc and people would buy it. I would.

I would happily pay a extra 10$ for 2 discs as well, but you have to ask yourself about the current way the handled it, if this is just a disc space issue and the cost of a second disc issue, why didn't they just put 1 and 2 on disc, and put the rest of 3 as the download instead of just giving us half of 2 as well?

Update for the ps4 version was 16 gigs for me
CatCouch

The Xbox version update is seriously 42 damn gigs. I had to cancel it, take my system offline, delete the game and reinstall the 36 gigs from the disc just to be able to ply the first game at all. This is disappointing to say the least. 42 gb updates are insane for single player games.
I would much rather pay $50 with a second disc or even $20 each for three seperate games on disc like Capcom does for Resident Evil and Dead Rising re-releases.

Good lord. Half the patch being already on the PS4 disc does sound less offensive when you see what X1 users have to suffer through.
Agree on the stand alone release thing. Unlike Crash, 20$ per game as stand alone would have been a good way to go as Spyro games are much bigger with more diverse looking levels, not to mention gave the devs more time per game.
Also given the size difference between PS4 and X1 obvious some of the file size is because of Pro and One X enhancements, so they could have made those enhancements the patch, but like I said earlier, given there treatment of the last 2 CoD's physical versions, I don't believe storage size/spending money for 2 discs was ever the reason Activision did this. After all, they got away with it with CoD WWII because people defended it "well it's online focused anyway" so next step is to experiment further to see what you can get away with, that's how these dicks...I mean publishers work.

I'm part of the problem too. I had credit at gamestop, traded in a few PS3 games that I don't play anymore or are already remastered on PS4. Thankfully PS4 users only have to download 16gb unlike Xbox One users have to download 42gb! Would be a little bigger pill to swallow. And at least the first game will work while you download.

Meanwhile most reviewers and YouTubers are keeping silent about it. I pity the poor people who will buy it physical without knowing that 2 of the games are not even in the disc.

And on my end it says 19.692 gig to download. A new patch?

Some wannabe trendsetters with or dreaming of fibre connections to every house are deeply into what (“just has to be for everyone”) they want to see as the future for all which is digital downloads: not sure caring about what they repeatedly told you “is dead (physical distribution) and ought to be dead darn it!” factors in the equation

Imagine buying a Star Wars trilogy VHS box and when you go home to watch them you could watch the first movie or only half of it and when you'd like to continue you'd be greeted with a text "call 1-800-3667-7834 to get the rest of the content." And even then that content would go directly to the VCR instead of the VHS tapes so when you buy a new VCR you wouldn't have those movies anymore even though you have the bought original tapes
Damn, I remember this! I had no interest to play the game itself but it was really impressive that you could fit over 10 copies of that game in a single FLOPPY DISK!

Wasn't sure if this was new topic worthy, especially since this news is a month late, so I'll just bump this thread. It's no longer 67 gigs, I was just looking at my applications and check this shit out.
Looked it up, and last months update actually cut the file size by nearly half, looked up the game on PSN and it's now listed as 31GB.
https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP0002-CUSA12125_00-SPYROTRILOGY0001
Also XBOX one is apparently now 44.46GB but I can't confirm this myself.
So yeah, turns out this was a 1 disc size game after all. Ain't that some shit..... At least this looks good for the rumored Switch version and a reissue for the hold outs like
