Forums - Nintendo - So, Splatoon size is 1.8 GB...

Well, if Nintendo wants to sell their games through digital with those 8-32 gb memories, they better compress their titles.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Most games are too lazy to proparly use audio compression. Titanfall for example is extremely bloated in audio files.

What about small levels?

Just give me that delicious 60fps inky gameplay, I'll be happy.

Should have been a digital-only game and $20 at that.

And the Evil Within should cost 500$ at retail following that logic

Never take users with Kim Possible avatars ( by that I mean Rol) seriously!

It's actually bigger than Mario 3D World, that was only 1.7GB.

When your console only has 32GB of space, superb compression isn't a choice, it's a necessity. ;)

curl hitting the mark as usual =P

It's not about lazyness, it's about CPU/memory usage. Using compressed audio files means you have to uncompress them either on the fly or into memory. Now, if they would have went with the compressed audio it would either require at least 1 CPU core to decode it on the fly (compression and uncompression is a very CPU heavy operation, just try to unrar something and watch it in Task Manager) or 1-2 GB (or even more) of memory just for the audio files. Not to mention the increased load time. That's not very resource friendly. Especially, if you want to release a game for the Xbox360 as well.

Nintendo games are small because they lack voice acting and FMVs. Rendered movies take a lot of space, especially in full HD (6-7GB/hour). If you would delete these files in modern AAA games, they would be around 7-8 GB, instead of 20-30.
