Glad I don't have a cap

Corsick · Jan 20, 2014

If it's that big it might as well be an expansion, or DR 4.

neojubei · Jan 20, 2014

Whoa. That's massive

Metalingus5150 · Jan 20, 2014

1080p 60fps.

Amir0x · Jan 20, 2014

daaamn even the updates are massive in next-gen

Sanic · Jan 20, 2014

I guess packaging/baking content in an efficient way had been thrown out the window here.

Desty · Jan 20, 2014

Next gen baby!

ClearData · Jan 20, 2014

Is that bigger than the actual game? Did they rewrite the entire engine? Because that's a serious update.

grendelrt · Jan 20, 2014

It's taking absolutely forever to install too. I gave up and started watching batman, see what it is tomorrow.

zroid · Jan 20, 2014

dear god...

I am NOT equipped for this

Same here.

Derpcrawler · Jan 20, 2014

Last update was like 3Gb, why the hell they are so huge?

Mrbob · Jan 20, 2014

Did Capcom add a whole game inside this update?

Twin Tails · Jan 20, 2014

Auto Updating is the best, already at 70% and just found out about it.

hawk2025 · Jan 20, 2014

...yeah, this whole "patch the DLC into everyone's game" thing is not going to cut it this gen when they are this ridiculously big.

If that's what's going on here, it needs to stop.

entremet · Jan 20, 2014

The release notes should be in patch no?

jello44 · Jan 20, 2014

That seems... excessive.

Sure it's not supposed to be 1.3? I could understand that, but 13?

Timu · Jan 20, 2014

DLC.

Milennia · Jan 20, 2014

Thats like... Almost my entire vita memory card

Wonder what it is..

Jedi2016 · Jan 20, 2014

You think Microsoft would have figured out incremental patching by now, so you don't have to download the whole f'in game every time. Reminds me of PS3 system updates.. lol.

Do they even release patch notes for things like this?

GSG Flash · Jan 20, 2014

That's just stupid. I feel bad for the people who have bandwidth caps, they get royally fucked thanks to this patch.

Deleted member 47027 · Jan 20, 2014

Season Pass content brahs

mrmickfran · Jan 20, 2014

The feel of a new game.

Sophia · Jan 20, 2014

That's absurd to push it out all at once if it's DLC. Wonder what could be in it...

Amir0x · Jan 20, 2014

will the game be 1080p now?

GulAtiCa · Jan 20, 2014

Holy crap!

Demoncarnotaur · Jan 20, 2014

What the fuck? :lol

d0c_zaius · Jan 20, 2014

DLC movies probably

MikeHaggar · Jan 20, 2014

yeah, i *almost* made a thread about this. i was playing the game, went to the map screen, and was prompted to download the update after being on the screen for about a minute.

the crazy thing is there was no way for me to continue playing without downloading the patch. now, i'm waiting for it to install and i have a good feeling that all of my progress since the last auto-save will be lost once this is done... get your shit together, microsoft!

Nemesis_ · Jan 20, 2014

This is just a theory, but the achievement list was also recently updated with all of the remaining expansion packs achievements that are included with the season pass.

Is it possible that the patch downloads the content to your system, and when you actually "purchase" the DLC through the store, it's merely an unlock key?

I believe they did a similar thing with RE5 Versus on the PS3.

Just a thought.

Jedi2016 said:

One thing I really appreciate about PS4 is that every software / title update I've downloaded has some notes attached to it letting me know what has changed. It's so good.

That's what steam does. It's less work for devs... therefore you can expect it.

ChoklitCow · Jan 20, 2014

After just getting home from my hometown where there is nothing but DSL I'm glad the "all digital future" isn't here yet.

nib95 · Jan 20, 2014

What the...

JordanN · Jan 20, 2014

The new DRM.

Yes, but it's kind of a crummy thing to do when the DLC is this huge

That's actually more efficient by allowing the service do it itself with every DLC release. Less work for both the publisher, developer and gamer. Steam and Origin does it.

KaiPow · Jan 20, 2014

Hope it's all new zombie voices. I would pay $2.99 to replace all sound effects with vuvuzelas.

NJDEN · Jan 20, 2014

Is this going to be a thing on all the console games : P

Good thing I use PC, granted everything is digital distribution, but at least I knew what to expect before jumping into the party.

Most PCs have more than 400GB usable hard drive space.

NullPointer · Jan 20, 2014

What the monkeyfuckbiscuit?

Thats... Thats... kindof a large update. These launch HDDs are going to be squeezed in no time.

I'm already worried about game sizes depleting those 500GB HDDs but hadn't really stopped to consider the gargantuan updates too.

soviet prince · Jan 20, 2014

Just wow

ChiliManiac · Jan 20, 2014

So let me get this straight, there were 13gigs of this game missing...and you deliver it as an update cause you don't want people to freak out about space? *facepalm* Well, now us Xbox users really are going to need expendable storage if updates are gona be of this size...-.-

thefit · Jan 20, 2014

High res textures require lots of bandwidth.

Phire Phox · Jan 20, 2014

Jesus Christ! My internet sucks and these big ass updates take forever. Why are they so big? The ones on 360 are usually a couple of MB.

R3TRO · Jan 20, 2014

Damn it, I just started my new month on my cap.
