Nice. I got 72gb to spare on my SSD. Can't wait to play on GP. Pre-load is already up.

Sure. If for you spend 12 Billions in a company as Bethesda which can't even sell well qualities IP in the recent past generation, it's a good use of the money, that's ok.

Not everyone has a GP, so, those will also pay a 70$ on XSX/S

Saw a lot of people ordering the deluxe editions anyway - they get to play those 4 days earlier than the GP peasants....
(and anyone buying the base game on PS)
It's probably on both, Sony would need to defined the requirements and then set up a process to get ssd makers to apply for certification. After that they would need to figure out what that slot does for certified drives and non-certified drives so they could update the firmware to do what it wants to do when I stick in an old arse m2 ssd.

That's 7.5 billions for Zenimax
I don't completely agree, some really nice game such as Prey or Dishonored 2 has not sold well, but Doom eternal for example is not the worst game ever made (my GOTY 2020), and has generated more than 450 millions

Most if not all of their famous IPs undersold absolutely. I think the only good financial report was about Fallout 4? The rest is covered of an embarrassing silence or underwhelming results.That's 7.5 billions for Zenimax

No one said that. But MS showed can't even handle a franchising as Halo recently. Do you really think they can handle properly a company as Bethesda with so many IPs, because it has the money to buy everyone? I think they should first focus to improve their management of their own software house before to buy here and thereI see the "Bethesda was always shit anyway" cope has already begun

Almost half a billion invested on Epic to make UE5 more optimized to PS5 can bring more games from third parties to the console in less time.

Well, tbh Bethesda was actually starting to trend towards shit anywayI see the "Bethesda was always shit anyway" cope has already begun
ID software and Arkane on the other hand, those are good studios

That has nothing to do with new data compression. neither game has been made specifically for the new gen hardware.

But somehow the PS5 version is nearly 20Ggb smaller...
Maybe the xsx version has more content... yeah yeah, i'm sure that's it

They do exist, credit to Zuby_Tech for the image. Unless of course there's been a change in the SSD IO capability and in fact an SSD of 7GB isn't enough of an overhead to compensate for what Sony has planned.

Or perhaps we are looking at another issue from these models you listed... heat.

BTW the lack of support M.2 driver actually is just a firmware development project that needs to be finished and it is not yet.

i want to believe but i dont think sony is wasting half a billion on helping third parties make multiplatform games.
i think this is just a business cash only investment like an investment firm would make. You just pour in money to get a piece of the pie when they go public. If it was anything more than that sony would say so. Notice how the CEO of Sony is quoted in the announcement, not the CEO of playstation. This has nothing to do with playstation.

Why PlayStation Mobile as publisher... Is this common for Sony titles on PC.
Note I haven't played on PC for donkey years.
Yeah, thats the normal publisher for Sony PC games right now.
Looks like 1TB have dropped about $20 in price.....interesting. Noticed this while looking at Newegg for 7GB/s NVMe's.

Make that $30 in price....damn.

So PS4/PS4 Pro and PC too?
That is not what smart delivery is about... your console will only download the assets for the version you are running.

It may also be an issue with sustained speed.

I can somewhat understand his intentions, to see how consoles can bruteforce a shitty code compared to a pc.
But that defeats the purpose of a console, doesn't it? And that before we even get to the BC issue.
It's a bit like checking how a sports coupe will tow a boat.

Xbone version is 45 GB and Xbone ( PS4 too ) version won't have Stadium Creator. PS5 and XSX/S does

So it's really 36.2GB?
Also, someone who can download the Series X version can check if you are correct, they'll only download one version.

Yes... it was already proved dozen of times the size on Series X|S doesn't include two separately version of the game... in fact games shares the same size across PC, PS4, XB1 and Series versions.
PS5 is the only with smaller file size.
It downloads one version that is 72GB.So it's really 36.2GB?
Also, someone who can download the Series X version can check if you are correct, they'll only download one version.

Compression is still better on PS5 though. So using Kraken and maybe Oodle Textures would give you a smaller file size than just the XSX version. I'm guessing the only version that would be smaller than the XSX version in the Xbox family would be the XSS version due to using lower quality assets.

Xbone doesn't have a Stadium Creator and it is a 45 GB.
