The Last of Us Remaster is 50GB

Games are growing so huge these days. Maybe Final Fantasy XV brings back the tradition of disc swapping to Playstation?

Even if FF15, or any other title, is multi-disc, everything still gets installed up-front to the HDD. You let the first disc install all the way through, and then you pop in the 2nd disc, whenever it's convenient, to let that install, and you shouldn't see the "disc swap". The game will just be viewed as a fat 100GB chunk of data on your hard drive.

But...that probably won't be necessary anyway, because the PS4 and XB1 should be able to support BDs with more than 2 layers, so you'll just have a single 4-layer BD100. instead.

Is the full install mandatory on PS4, so no streaming from disk anymore?
 
I really should've got a 1TB drive for my PS4.. going to buy retail as with my internet that'll take me a good 48 hours to download.. but the install!
 
PS4 uses dual layer BD right? So it should be able to fit on a disc with compression. I hope anyways, nearing my data limit and it won't reset until August 8th or something.
It fits the disk and you can be sure that everything in the disk is compressed in a way or another.

The only "streaming" you get is by running the game while it's partially installed, but that partially installed chunk of content has already been copied to the HDD. The game software literally cannot "see" the optical disc; as it should, because people buying digitally don't get a disc!
 
time to delete knack

Of which ~45 GB (I'm guessing) will be blu-ray quality 1080p/60fps videos and uncompressed audios.
They should think about releasing a version with more compressed video and audio in the future for people who don't really care. It's gonna save them (and us) a lot of bandwidth.
 
Thats "only" twice as big as the TLOU digital version on PS3. Quite impressive considering the texture sizes went up 4 times and the jump from 720p/30fps video to 1080p/60fps video
 
So I guess it has uncompressed audio like Titanfall then ? :P
What's the size of the PS4's base HDD anyway ?


I dont want developers to be constrained

we need new physical support

Yes, I am tired about digital games being constrained by physical releases just for the sake of PARITY !

RIOT !
 
Everyone should have plenty of HDD room since PS4 gots no gamez.

Trading Wolfenstein for TLOU helped since that was about 50GBs, so basically swapping spots on my HDD.
 
I have a 200 mbps connection in canada and it clearly takes a lot longer than it should to download anything on the PSN, not sure why. (Wired).

Yeah, it'd be awesome if Sony and MS started providing alternate downloads of compressed audio. I can't tell the difference, I don't think most people can, so its purely a waste of bandwidth, HDD space time, and time.
 
My 1TB SSHD is ready and so is my body! My download speed however is just 4MB/s at peak, so it's gonna take about 5-8 hours I guess. IF the servers will stand the crowd, that is. We saw what happened at the Destiny Beta launch.

I wouldn't even mind if the game had 100GB, because I know that ND would really need it. Let's remember Wolfenstein TNO which has been artificially stretched to a bigger filesize for anti-piracy purposes.

At what time on release date are digital pre-orders usually available for download at the US psn store? I don't want to waste a single minute of not downloading that game.
 
I was expecting that, I had 10 retail games + all of the PS+ and most PSN games on my hard drive before deleting stuff. Then I got rid of Killzone, COD & AC4, Contrast... And I still have something like 115gb left after even after adding Destiny Beta and Oddworld.

Are you guys really playing more games than that at once??
 
This thread is interesting. There still seems to be a lot of people who don't understand how the disc drives work on these new consoles.
 
Yeah I'll probably be looking at a bigger hdd soon too. Anyway yeah I'll probably be downloading for 12 to 24 hours depending on how PSN wants to act.

How much do you have to download before you can play? Any info on that?
