People want lots of content for their money. They get it with IW and then complain about the space needed for that content.

I don't have fibre now. I only get 12mbps max.
This would take days if not a week yo download factoring fluctuations.
Thank god the Xbox one allows external drives but I am going to pass on this.

I'm not even in a fibre roll out zone yet, Australian broadband 11mbit internet am cry.
Took me 17 hours to download Forza Horizon 3 48GB.
Will probably take me 3 days non stop with everyone in the house still needing to use internet.
Going to steam back up the shit out of this game, as I do with any large download size game.

People on the fence are gonna say no to this now and pray for a standalone release, sad really I wish everyone could share in the day 1 hype.

A standalone will probably happen at some point.

Bigger than an MMO? Are they really that sloppy? How many 'HDs' is in there?

Way bigger than Elder Scrolls Online, yes.

My fuck. Good thing I'm passing on COD for once. At least until I can buy the remastered as a standalone

I will repeat this since I really think it is a given and it will happen: For those only interested in CoD4, wait for the stand alone purchase. It is just a feeling, but I see no reason why a stand alone CoD4 won't be offered for sale after the initial sales window of the new CoD.

Misery loves company. "Day 1 hype" is created by marketing firms and it's usually filled with disappointment

Are people really that upset about this?
I have plenty of games on my PS4 that are 60GB - the legacy edition is two full games. What did people expect?

Nope.
Would not surprise me. I recently saw Battlefield Hardline on PC took up 130+ GBs when including all the DLC. Mind you it's the PC version, but still.

Probably because of the amount of pre-rendered cutscenes in Infinite Warfare.

I just hope there are two separate entries for the two games on Steam (which there probably will be) and that there's no dependence of having one installed to play the other (which there probably won't be, but Activision could decide to be assholes about this).

Nah. Day 1 for some games is really an event and a great time.
Halo launches were always fun, and Modern Warfare 2's launch was great as well.
If later is not "too late"
That being said, a 60Go of download is 2 days for me, at least. And I'm lucky enough to not have caps. That's utterly annoying.
Not at Acitivision i'm not, but at Sony for not allowing me to expand my space the way Nintendo & Microsoft do with a external hard drive.

Would take me at least a week to download that. So I just put the entire thing on the "never buy"-list and that's that.
That was dishonest of me, I had no intention of buying it anyways, a stand alone MW remake I probably would though

Why do you even have an SSD in a console?
...
It's sad that disc drives are basically incapable of reading games fast enough nowadays that you need to download/install all of those files in order to play a game. Terrible.

It's a damn shame that devs don't figure out a way to only keep the sections that you want installed.
Deleting the campaign and keeping a multiplayer client for example.
Would really help people with storage issues. Although that wouldn't help with download file sizes seeing as theu would have to download it all initially.

What does it mean: install MWR put the disc in for IW but i dont have to install IW to play MWR. Pls tell me. Dont have so much space left.
User123456

I'm interested in both, but from what I'm seeing MWR isn't included in a disc for the PS4 version.
I guess I'm getting IW standalone and MWR sometime down the line.
Nah, it's 91GB. But that is still way too much. Maps are as big as old gen games nowadays and we probably have lots of uncompressed audio in every suported language, too, because why not...

We just have to hold on for another 5 years or so when there's a good chance that SSD's with 10s of terabytes will be available for consumer prices. Plus they'll almost certainly stick to 2.5".

It's just campaign videos in 4K, I don't see any other way of reaching this size on the current generation.

130GB, my god.
I was planning on getting it for PS4, but I never expanded my HDD space, and I already got the 500GBs filled up (and has been filled up for years). 130GB means that I gotta delete a few things. Might switch and decide to go with the XBox One version, dlc 1month delay be damned, since there I got a 2TB drive attached, which makes it my GB-heavy-games machine.

fuck.......Pro patches are going to be insane.....the average game is probably going to be close to 90GB or some shit
especially since some of them will introduce even higher res textures, and even more graphical improvement
It just means devs will take up more space on the HDD. Last gen, games were rarely above 10 gigs, even with all of the DLC on Xbox 360. Now we're getting 60 gigs on Day 1. It's ridiculous. Something has to change. Either discs need more storage, read speeds to need to go up on drives so we don't have to install or something else has to change so this doesn't continue to balloon itself.

Pro patches will be several MBs probably and I don't think that there will be any difference in content between old and Pro versions.

130 what?
Off topic, but thank you for this. I've been looking for an online Nollywood streaming platform and I can't beat $14.97 USD/year. Paypal'd irokotv.com and watching now!

Nah. Not how that works. Some games will receive texture updates, but for the most part, expect Pro patches to be under a gig, introducing changes that don't take up space (resolution, AA, AF, Effects, shadow resolution, DoF, etc etc)
fabricated backlash

So wait people expect them to make better more detailed assets but at the same time keep the file size? It's sure nice to want things.
