Forums - Sony - Could the Uncharted Collection fit on a single Bluray?

Solid-Stark on 09 December 2014

No it cannot fit on one disc. Maybe 1 & 2 in one disc and 3 on a second disc.

I remember that 2 filled up a 25GB disc and 3 was nearly 50GB. No idea on the size of 1. With updated files, all three games should surely land in the 100GB range.

This isn't exactly the same situation as the Halos where some were smaller and on the original xbox. The Uncharted games and pretty big, especially 3 which I hear is massive (not sure how big though). So the question is do you think ND can compress all onto one disc?


Each one took up 25GB, and the latest Blu Rays hold 67GB double-layered, and 128GB quad-drouple layered.  I think they easily could.

We don't know if the PS4 can play BDs with more than 2 layers though. And I don't know if 67GB double-layered discs actually exist. There being 100GB triple-layered discs, of course tells that it should be possible to fit 67GB onto 2 layers. But 67GB will not be enough anyways. UC3 was released on a dual-layer BD and alone has a size of ~45GB. Add UC1 and UC2 and some higher res textures and at least 100GB will be required.

And discs with more than 2 layers are way more expansive, even if they work in the PS4. I'm not saying that we will never see them, but I think that it's way more likely they just put 2 discs inside the box (with UC1 + UC2 on disc 1 and UC3 on disc 2), if we get an Uncharted collection. 

I mean look it up they do exist.  Also keep in mind that they could compress the games on the disc and then uncompress them when they are installed.

I did look it up. I could only find reports from 2010, that they want to introduce 67GB dual layer discs. But I couldn't find any later mentioning of them.

Hmmmm you're right.  I wonder whatever happened to that.   I still think they could fit the three games into 50gb though.  I am looking it up and here is how much each game takes up:

-UC1 = 18.5 GB

-UC2 = 20.5 GB

-UC3 = WTF 43.75 GB lol.

Idk then.  They could still compress all of them to take up half as much room, but either way the install would likely come to 150GB then.



Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.

My Extended Lord of the Rings wants to have a word with you.

The thing I was most excited about it going to Blu ray was that it would eb on one disc.  I thought, there is no way that it can't be right.  I mean blu ray is so large compared to dvd.  

They could of put the entire (ROTK) 4 hr movie on one disc. But They went for the higher bitrate. VS the space. If they reduced the bitrate from 30 to 15-17, it would of fit. I checked the sizes. Including all the audio commentaries etc. Both parts of Return was 60GB. 10 GB over a 50GB disc.

Other companies do put their stuff on BD at that rate. And it's fine. Unless you're so anal and stare 1 foot from the screen. Examples are pretty much everything WB releases. Justice League is 26 episodes on two discs. All of the Watchmen motion comic is on one disc. And that's 5 hrs 22 mins long. Venture Bros has 16 eps on one disc. The lowest the bitrate dropped was 8.7Mbps. That's pretty low for BD. And boarders on the pixelation limit. But it still was fine.

I combinded ROTK parts into one movie and dropped the bitrate to fit one 50GB disc. It was prefect. The other movies are shorted and have less of an issue. Fellowship was the shortest. I was able to get the bitrate upto 21Mbps. Only a 9Mbps reduction from the two discs.

Yea I know the reason why its on two.  Which is why I brought it up.  If there were to be an uncharted collection on the PS4, they would do things like uncompress or smooth something out or raise native resolution, ect.  Just little things you wouldn't really notice at all unless comparing side by side but they think we would find important.

I would rather have stuff on one disc than an extra pixel in a game.

As for LOTR.  It's annoying switching, but if what they did makes it so that it looks still good in 20 years on a 4k tv then I'm all fine.

Well in 20 years, who knows where people will finally stop buying new TV's for the res. All as we know, TV sets will be 30k res.
