Honestly Im starting to think maybe all this focus on 4k textures ect isnt really needed.

It baloons the size of games up to insane amounts.

geometry can do alot on its own.

100 GB+ game sizes will be the norm for the Xbox One X, if it ships with 4k textures.

Some games profit from it. There is nothing inherently wrong with gigantic game sizes due to high quality textures.

But yeah, depending on how fast the file sizes are exploding, devs should offer their highest quality assets as optional download. I think shadow of Mordor did that in the past.

Give it a decade and TB sized games may be the norm.

Thank goodness the PS6 will come with two 4TB hard-drives so we can hold two and a half games on it. :p
