Oh please ethomaz, talking about bad comparisons... The Sims 3 complete, yes. Talking about content. We are discussing a single game for PS4 here, an fps. And yes, every content makes a game bigger, even if it's a few bytes. You can't argue that. But I see, you won't discuss the 50 GB, you only use smoke granades. And don't say who in this thread knows what and adds to size while you are no programmer yourself. This is *very* thin ice for you.

You're being a hypocrite.  You're making a big deal about the file size of a game you know nothing about.  You haven't even mentioned that, if it's like Uncharted 3, you probably won't have to download the whole file.  3D movies on UC3 were over 10GB, I'd bet anything they're even larger on KZ:SF.  Language packs are close to 1GB each.  Why would you not mention that?

You can also DL the multi- and single-player parts separately.

And the comparison to Crysis 3, a highly enclosed FPS, to KZ:SF, which has much more open environments?  You don't think much larger playable environments would have an impact on file size?  And, yes, Crysis 3 is last gen, in that the base game was designed to fit on consoles, which means making all kinds of sacrifices in content, level sizes, AI functions, and the number of NPCs and on-screen events.

It *is* a big deal, literally. You don't care? Fine, I do. And why do you starting a question with an "if"-sentence?

To me the game is too big, I've said enough to this. You don't agree? Nice, I don't care. My point still stands, as we all don't know how big all parts are so 50GB would be ok: They could've done smaller.
