Seventy five fucking gigs. Wtf. Yesterday I was super pumped about this game and pre ordered it, then today I was browsing YT vids about the game and saw some walkthrough vids that had the whole of episode one of the live action shorts uploaded along with the opening chapters. Really, what was the bloody point of the live action stuff? Over 20 minutes of mostly pointless, slow moving, slightly corny, largely boring exposition. At least it ended in a cool way, but really, this live action stuff is a big ass potential problem area. Totally killed the pacing and brought a whole new meaning to "cinematic game". I mean, 2-3 parts of his 5 part upload of the first area of the game, were just live action video or cut scenes lol.
Fact that it all has to be streamed or downloaded is annoying too. Couldn't they have just put these extras on a second blu-ray? If you're going to spend the budget on the clips, you might as well spend the extra on consumer convenience too. Not to mention they're guaranteed to get the full picture in terms of story.
Anyway, still holding out on reviews, but I'm not convinced about the live action stuff.
Thats neat, but you can still get 4 seasons of breaking bad at 1080p and DTS sound for that size of download. Really odd.
Thats a whole lot of Skin Diamond scenes 75gb my lord
How much is the game by itself?
You definitely can't satisfy everyone.
45GB.
Not being able to get everything on a physical disc is a deal breaker. Even if some of us are able to download this, it'll kill their data limit.
Data caps are so last centuryNot being able to get everything on a physical disc is a deal breaker. Even if some of us are able to download this, it'll kill their data limit.
Netflix's bitrate is horrible low. That's why it uses so few data per hour to stream.
Netflix UHD has a lower bitrate than a 1080p blu-ray for example.
When asked if an option will exist for those wanting to download it, Louden says that it will only be offered on the Xbox One version, but the Windows 10 version does feature 4K resolution, making the video size all the more substantial. Quantum Break is set to launch on both Xbox One and Windows 10 April 5.
It's typically intended to be streamed, not downloaded.
The PC version doesn't even have a download option IIRC.
$$$$.
What encoder are they using. Geez Luiz.
True, however the bitrate comparison between h.265 and h.264 is fairly easy.Netflix UHD also uses a different codec than Blu-ray, so a direct bitrate comparison is pointless.
120gb not including the patch. Rural folks going to wait 2 weeks before they can play this game lol
Why not put it on 1 100 GB BD?
I just meant what format are they changing it into. Used the wrong term, because several encoders can encode into various formats, not a singular format. More like what are they encoding this into, from their raw files?Encoder?
Not starting a new thread for this but someone on a french forum seems to have leaked play times.
According to him, including the live action in every playthrough :
-His first play through took him 8h15 while exploring and searching for a maximum of objects (i don't know what he refers to)
-His second playthrough took him : 6h45-7h while making different choices. He spent a bit of time looking for other objects.
-Third playthrough : he rushed and it took him 6h. He made the choices so he'd have the storyline he liked the most.
Also according to him, QB is a game you have to play 2-3 times to be able to see everything. More is useless, but once is stupid. (his words)

Cool, is there any indication if the different branches lead to different gameplay scenarios or is it purely to alter the story?

Is that 8h hours including the multiple 20+ minute long live action cut scenes?

from my post
Damn. So potentially Order 1886 territories of overall length. Maybe less if you take in to account the regular in game cut scenes as well. Then again, it looks to have more overall replay value.
It's the modern day equivalent of a 7 CD FMV game from 1997.76 gigs? It's 1080 for the live action cinematics on the X1 right? Must be a reason behind this. For 1080p Blu-Rays it's usually high quality H.264 at 5000 KBPS with VBR for superior IQ as the files are in the physical media, in this case, the HDD. Since the PC version is only through streaming and UHD, it mostly will be 4K 24FPS with CBR. Audio formats should be as usual, AC-3/LPCM and lossless audio for Xbox One (D-THD, DTS-HDMA).
Either this or there are various number of branching outcomes to each episode/chapter at the behest of the player and how they play it. Certain prerequisites (side missions/objectives etc) which may unlock certain cinematics through progression. Weird, I always thought this was a linear game. Anyway, they better have a theater mode, after completion/unlocks, for X1 players who D/L this or they're gonna pissed. XD
Easy solution to both X1 & PC players would be to remember your choices at the end of each episode, and before proceeding to the next one, snap YouTube/alt+tab, go to random Youtuber who's uploaded all the cinematics (this mostly happens for all games these days), choose the cinematic based on your choice of action in your game, save your monthly data and enjoy at 144p
Will switch to instant on and start d/loading before work tonight
Damn. So potentially Order 1886 territories of overall length. Bearing in mind, we have no idea how much game time is occupied by the in game (non live action) cut scenes, which seem rather plentiful. Then again, it looks to have more overall replay value.

Why so large? It's 720p, right?
None of the game is occupied by these episodes as they unlock as you play on the main menu . They will not play as part of the game
They play as a part of the game, and you go straight into one.
You end a Act (game part) and then you go to a Junction (game - choice section) and that triggers a Episode (tv show)
