I'm no longer looking forward to getting an xbone or ps4 if patches are gonna be that size or larger
That is goddamn ridiculous. They must just be adding all the season pass content, but hopefully games don't start doing this if those are a general glimpse at the size.
No, it downloads the patch before the install. People have been saying DR3 + Ryse specifically took a long time to install as they both have large patches.
It's mostly dumb as it doesn't notify of the patch(or the percent that's at), it's not until the thing jumps to 1% and starts moving that you know it finished. Same with people saying it's getting hung at a certain percent, it seems to add on to the intial install so a 100% finish will drop to say a 95% when a patch hits, making it seem like it almost got finished but it actually just started there.

Maybe it's a free expansion pack that will soon be released!

Ryse has a 3GB patch, went through it the end of last week. Much better then I expected it to be, definitely better then reviews made it out to be. I enjoyed it more then ACIV: Black Flag, I felt that was more of trudge to get through. The story was kind of dull and didn't move the actual story along that much (and didn't make you emotionally attached to any of it's main characters).

Damn. The hard drive is gonna over flow pretty quickly with updates and few games purchased digitally.
I don't know, but the way people are acting, you can't do anything while its downloading. Surely that's not the case?
Oh weird. This seems so backwards compared to the 360.
Killer Instinct. (Or insert other digital game).
You can play another game that isn't Dead Rising 3
Xbox One in a nutshell.

yeah these next gen patch sizes really suck

And this is why limiting patch sizes is a good thing Microsoft. Dear lord. If you dont give studios a reason to limit their patches, they wont bother as time == money. Why the hell they removed it when it worked so incredibly well with the 360 is a clue to me. Who was complaining about the small patch sizes before?

That's a pretty silly high amount of gigabitities. Seems to be a trend with all next gen games though that they are bloated as fuck with stuff they could easily have compressed without a noticeable difference, personally I worry more about hard disc space in the future than the bandwidth.

It's not really limiting the amount of GBs for patches so much as making it a mandatory thing that users will have to update the game before play, and an update that puts the DLC in your game when you may not want it, at that.

Are we sure that it isn't overwriting pre-existing hard drive space taken up by Dead Rising 3, as opposed to filling your hard drive with a full 13GB of additional data on top of the initial install?
The DC Universe patch for the PS4 version was just over 5GB afaik.

DC Universe is pretty large, but it has been out for years now. Killzone's patches are like MBs, the latest one being 311MB.
Like people are saying here, not even the PC platform reaches patches higher than 10GB usually.

That's just lazy, sheesh. Are those all new textures or something? Insanity

Nice strawman. Almost as good as the other guy, but not quite there yet. Too obvious.
Can you even check the size of games/installs on XBO? I seem to remember that there isn't a data management system yet.
Why not huh. Cause we all know Killzone runs at those crazy fluating frame rates on PS4!
you don't have to defend so aggressively bro. at least read the thread first.

Was just about to chime in to say this. The PS4 patches has been nowhere near that size. Wonder what the deal is. Also curious to find out if the procedure is just overwriting the past install and patch as opposed to adding it to the hardrive.

Wow I think thats more than all the GT5 updates combined, which is known for its notoriously huge update sizes.
What.
well. it would be nice to actually know what the patch was about.

That isn't to say it couldn't happen elsewhere. But I'm pretty sure I was able to play Killzone without having to update it.
Had to wait for my girlfriend to come home so I could use her phone's internet to take on the update.
It's probably preparation for the DLC. Why? Because when someone rolls out a huge patch like that, especially Capcom, they love to hype it up. There's no indication as to what the patch contains or what it's fixing. "Stability issues" means jack shit when we have no idea what it's applied to.
That goes out to all of you damn developers. You gotta lemme know what bugs you squashed.
