Games don't need to be this big to have better graphics, companies just aren't trying as hard to reduce file size. You could have a game with the exact same quality with half the file size. Sony were guilty of this on ps3 due to the bluray. Crack in Time is 25gb big, there's no way that game couldn't have been on the 360 with just as good graphics.

All companies care about is it fitting on the disc, once it does they don't care anymore, that's why you get so many ps4/xbo games that are 45-50gb, pretty much exactly the size the physical media can hold, because companies don't try and reduce the size any further. Which is a pain in the ass for buying stuff digitally.

Another example, Uncharted 3 GOTY on ps3 is 43.5gb, Uncharted the Nathan Drake Collection (which has 3 whole games in it and has better graphics) is 44.46gb. All companies just aim to fit it on the disc when it could be so much smaller.

Uncharted 3 GOTY has the multiplayer and DLC, and had many patches to the game.

For just the Single Player, without language packs or the 3d movies it's still 24gb.

The Collection with it's graphical improvements and 3 games instead of one and multiple languages should not be less than double the size. I thought it was common knowledge that all games are oversized due to companies not trying to optimize file sizes, but apparently not. The PS3 in general is a prime example of oversized games.

It's a shame that the standard versions of Xbox One and PS4 only have 500GB...




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

Here is my "something else say below". Whoevers bright idea it was to force game installs on the gaming public is a dope. The Wii-U got it right in that department.

Unless you don't want games to get any more technically advanced than Wii U titles, there's not really any getting around it.

How does it fit on a BD, then? It makes you download 30GB even with the physical game?

The game on disc is just under 60GB, but since launch 343 has added close to 30GB of post content.

Such a big game and the campaign wasn't even that long or good...

I downloaded it and it's surprisingly great but the free trial should be running out soon. I'm debating if i should just go ahead and buy it.

Have u got fast internet?

And how long is the trial, 2 hours? What's your history with Halo games d21lewis?

I don't think I have played anything after Halo 3, but I would certainly want to play the next Halo if it comes to PC.

Like 7 days to celebrate the firefight update.  Free for everyone btw and 50% discount if you buy it during those days.  (Only a day left?).

Anyway the size is pretty normal with all the extra content they add in the game, + 200 armours +200 helmets + 500 weapon skins/types and it keeps on growing :s.

Downloaded it a couple of days ago. I guess Mruinternet is pretty fast.

I bought Halo 3 used i on day one and it was great. Then went back and got 1 and 2 on the original Xbox (backwards compatible). Then I got ODST used, years later. Then I grabbed Reach and 4 on day one. I got Halo MCC earlier this year because it was on sale.

 

I've never actually played online. Mostly co-op campaign. That's why I never got this one.

And how much did you play of each of those, from Halo OSDT and forward? Did you complete any campaigns?

My personal favorite is Halo 4 SP, but ODST has a very unique and powerful SP as well.
