That's way too much...



Holy crap. Luckily I'm buying retail and only have to download the episodes.



Well, I will be streaming those so no problem :).

All those uncompressed live action video cut scenes really add up.

I doubt they are "uncompressed"

75GB are just ~7min of uncompressed 1080p/30fps 24bit video or ~8,5min in 25fps (and that's without sound)

In about 5 years time we'll all be saying how little space this is, It's a bit like getting a game on 7 CD's back in the day....lol

But at the moment, gah yeah that's a lot.

I wonder if it will be worth it - i.e doing TV episodes rather than in game cut scenes in engine. I guess on one hand, its easier to make them in TV format (though you have to really be sure of the structure because refilming/edits could be a nightmare), while in game would be easier on memory, but would take a lot of work.

Would love to know what people think of it when they play it, is this going to be a new standard or one of those quirks of gaming which wont be repeated that much?

Awkward moment when a game needs as much memory as an entire SD card

Why would that be an awkward moment? You aren't supposed to store your game data on a slow and error prone SD card.

Also, there are different capacities of SD cards. MicroSD card go up to 200 GB (I have one in my Z5 compact) and SD cards go up to 512 GB. So several AAA-games for XBO or PS4 can fit on a SD card or even microSD card.

That situation wasn't any better in the third year of Xbox 360 or PS3, the biggest SD cards back then were 32 GB and the biggest microSD cards could hold 16 GB, so also 1 - 3 AAA-games.  And before the SDHC-standard (2006) 2 GB was the limit (or 4 GB non-standard), so good luck in storing 1 or even 2 PS2 or Xbox games on a memory card.



Utterly ridiculous. 500 GB consoles are already looking obsolete, and we may need larger spaces than 1 TB now...

Why are they obsolete? just connect a cheap external usb3.0-drive ($50 - $100) to the XBO and the "problem" is fixed... you even get faster loading times this way. The upgrade situation is much better than it was with the Xbox360.

Let's see. 75/40 is 1.875 gigs.
* 4 per run = 7.5 gigs.

After after every "chapter" I beat I have to(if I want to enjoy the story) stop and download/stream a almost 2 gig/22-minute file before getting back to the game?

Remedy are great story tellers. I'm curious how it will play out too. You getting it on xbox one?
