It's only 10 MB for me. Is it because I'm a basic PC pass pleb?

Maybe play it on Gamepass and donate the cost of the game to a charity working in Ukraine?

PS5 has hardware texture compression.
Newer gen PC does too I suppose but not if you want to keep broad compatibility with a lot of graphics cards.

Just had to make room for Death Stranding. At 145gb, I guess Stalker 2 will have to wait.

It's not on PS5

What's the preload size on PC? Same?

Wait so they have you download 175GB but then the install is only 100GB? Something doesn't add up.

No, you only download around 100GB, 175GB is just recommend so that you have enough space for the install process to run. So your OS drive for example doesn't run out of space and the downloaded install files can be extracted and installed to the install location. These recommended space requirements are always higher then the space the game actually takes up on PC.

Interesting, though you can see why people would have that confusion as the PS Blog lists it at 190 (fuck) GB as required.

Yep, you do actually probably require around that much space to install. But after the process is completed the actual size taken up on the drive is usually way smaller.Interesting, though you can see why people would have that confusion as the PS Blog lists it at 190 (fuck) GB as required.

Got any ue5 games as an example to back up your claim where the ps5 version is half the size of other platforms? Was wukong half the size of other platforms?I guess the file size could be half on ps5 pro in the future ?

was kidding, but.....
It is like it is a place holder. What the fuck is the point of that?

I guess whenever the data goes live, it will start automatically 'updating' the 150~GB.

Game Pass having a strong end to the year with this, Flight Sim and Indiana Jones... I still haven't started Dragon Age for real yet.

You mean next gen space in the sense of a top-of-the-line example of an NVME SSD ???
EDMIX
Writes a lot, says very little
well, more so that games will get bigger as the gen goes on
Game will be old and forgotten next year.
Install is indeed 147GB on Series X though.

Fascist motherfuckers decided to ban the game in Russia and sent to jail for treason and terrorist support everyone who will buy it. I'd say let them fuckin' try!

FOMO's gotta hurt. Luckily I'm not affected and can also have fun with "old" games lol
I know what you meant, I was just making fun of Sony's next-gen SSD.

Same here. Playing Forspoken right now on my PS5 Pro, and just downloaded Fable 1 Anniversary Edition and Battlefield 2: Modern Combat (for the campaign) on my Series X.
Let's be best friends and then you can take me to the Masters by you? K, thx.

Nice, I was in the mood for Battlefield as well last week and bought Bad Company 1 & 2, BF 3 and BF 4 for PS3/4 to catch up on them. Does Modern Combat have a proper campaign? Never played it.
Bad Company, FOR THE WIN! And yes, BF2MC does have an offline campaign. AHHH...the old days!

Good to know, got to pick that up as well! ThxBad Company, FOR THE WIN! And yes, BF2MC does have an offline campaign. AHHH...the old days!
EDIT; the f***, it's like 3€ - 5€ on ebay - nobrainer.
Which version might be better, PS2 or Xbox?
Mh, PS2 emulation runs better on the Deck, so maybe I'll grab that one.

Here people think it's PC only problem and PS5 thanks to magic SSD can't stutter. I wish this was the case when I played FF7 Rebirth, game was stuttering quite often.

I'm not. I was tagged by the mods last year for not behaving, and they never changed it back (and don't respond to my requests)
