Breath fo the WIld is possibly one of the most beautiful games I've ever seen and it's only 13.4GB...that's what having a strong art style does for you I guess.
Edit: And if DQH 1 and 2 were going to suffer together, why not just make each one its own release. So then polycounts wouldn't have to be toned down, textures could be improved, etc... or at least just make 1 good port of DQH2...the newest one.

Textures can compress really well though. Even if the compression algorithm is lossless. |
True, but they need to be uncompressed for the game to use them. Decompressing Textures costs calculating power and doesn't allieviate the RAM consumption due to this need.
How much space do Dragon Quest heroes I and II need on the PS4 btw?

Years with the amount of people developing the game doesn't tell much about man hours alone. How much hours do each employee spend a day or how about their vacation days too ? Then we have the fact that CD Projekt RED has been releasing free DLC along with paid expansions for well over a year too ...

You would be surprised how cheap decompression really is.
GPU's also have hardware blocks that can decompress textures.
And doesn't reduce Ram consumption? That is false.
One of the biggest focuses during the Direct X 5 and 6 era was texture compression and when S3 texture compression managed to gain a foothold.. One of the focal points was how much memory you can save.

So the console isn't out yet and there are already games that can't even fit on the internal storage? I guess everyone should just stick to physical only games.
First of, outside of GTA5 that came with almost 2.5yrs of EXTRA content, there isn't a 60GB game out there. Every game that ends up getting that big get that big for a reason. Its not like devs can't somehow figure ut how to compress shit. |
I don't know. I recall some huge games on my Xbox and PS4--possibly due to some DLC, though. I think Halo 5 was like 90 something GB! Other heavy hitters were Batman Arkham Knight on PS4 and Quantum Break on XBO.
I'm at work so I can't verify, though.

DOOM is 60gb on PC and I still don't understand why. The Witcher 3 was in the 35gb range. Ryse is the same size as The Witcher 3. Game sizes make no sense.
OT: Happy to see that Mario Kart 8 is so small. Not that I'd buy it digitally anyway.

If I had to guess, Doom has more handmade assets where W3 has more procedural. Ryse also has lots of prerecorded video.
