Wow I read that as:
"R2D2 Requires 105 GB of Storage Space on PS4"
I was like I didn't even realize they had a new Star Wars game coming out, let alone one about R2D2!

Language support actually takes up lots of space in games.
in 2009 i got a PC with 320 GB of storage space, and it could store everything i needed it to. in 2014 i got a new PC with 1.5 TB of storage space and i still have that PC today. thats just about a 500% increase over the course of 6 years. its only a few months away from me having my PC for 5 years, and yet it doesnt seem like storage has progressed much further. PCs, consoles, any device designed to hold files of that size should have multiple terabytes of storage at this point. ideally, 5 TB should be the standard nowadays if not 4 TB
Isn't that the typical way games get patched on ps4? When there is a 3 GB update for GTS, I need to have enough disk space free so the entire game can be copied, 65 GB or so. That doesn't make it a 130 GB game!
It's a giant gas bag
Deus Ex (2000) - a game that pushes the boundaries of what the video game medium is capable of to a degree unmatched to this very day.

Perhaps we'll need the next version of BR 4K disc tripple layered or something... next gen would be perfect for that me thinks (thats 100gb)

LOL I did so, too, but I thought it was about a super high quality 3D render of R2D2 rendered on the PS4 hardware

As a Nintendo and Indie fan... I can still say the same. And I swallowed hard last week when I saw the size of the Bard's Tale IV installation...

Fail!
Screw this. I'm not getting the game now. I actually like owning my games. This is just a token disc that lets you download the real game. These people just lost a sale with me.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
My Bet With curl-6

discs are pretty much worthless anyway. Even if the game came on 2 BluRays, the files would be outdated quickly. If you try to install it In two years, you can maybe install 20GB from disc, but you'd need to download the other 80GB.
Recently installed Halo MCC from disc and it was pretty much the same scenario. Could install maybe 10GB from disc and had to download 60GB to get the most recent files.
