Oh I know.
I looked online and seems it will be in. Asking because bought RTX card last week.

Resident Evil 2 System Requirements Revealed on steam, Will require 26GB HDD Space

REVII has beastly texture streaming problems on console, often you see blurred textures before they turn sharp, hopefully this is not the same with RE2 Remake
I highly doubt that will be in at launch. There was zero talk about it other than "we will support it".
There are plenty games that have something like 50GB in sys requirements but install size on disk ends up in the 30-40GB range. That's a big difference. Not saying it will be like that with RE2, but chances are high that final install size will take up LESS than 26GB and thread title (originally) said that file size is 26GB, which I found to be a bit misleading, that's all.
That was Angel Studios who did this port actually. They worked some black magic with only 9 people who worked on it. There's some videos on YouTube that talk about the crazy lengths they went to.they surely know how to black magic
I suppose it's not really that surprising since they seem to be handling most of the cutscenes in-engine. No giant HD FMV files to be bloat the file size, aside from the usual opening/ending scenes, I guess.
It's very comparable. 26gb for a game seemingly of the calibre we've seen is kind of nuts, but it can probably be traced back to the fact that RE2 always had a short campaign and that both Leon and Claire are likely to see 90% the same overall areas and enemies, and otherwise, as with the N64 port of the original I'm sure the way their RE-Engine pipeline works involves certain file-types that store highly compressed but super smartly compressed assets of audio, textures and 3D models.
It's like exporting a screen-capture vid from OBS Studio and then trying to re-render it after trimming with Adobe Premiere Pro CC - you just can't get the same level of quality and smoothness without quadrupling the file-size. I'm sure RE Engine has a lot to do with how they did it but I'm sure there's some trade-offs we don't necessarily see as well.
Ballooning file sizes is one of the more troubling trends in the industry, unfortunately it doesn't get discussed much because most of that discussion goes towards MTXs and exploitative labor practices (which is good because those are both bigger issues yea, though still unfortunate that this other separate issue doesn't get as much attention as a result).
Setting aside the fact that poor optimization is a general failure of craftsmanship, these huge file sizes just eat up bandwidth and can really screw over people with data caps. Props to Capcom for, as always, releasing a AAA-tier experience that's optimized to like 50% GB size of what I expected.

Xbox One size is stated as:
Approximate size
21.05 GB
So PS4 is roughly going to be the same I imagine.
System requirements usually are listing final installed game size, it's the download size that could be anything which is why those aren't usually listed.
This is correct. This also applies to MHW as well, but cutscenes are primarily in-engine which significantly cuts down on hard drive space. The added benefit of course is that any costume change you apply to the characters will also be reflected in the cutscene.
Only Capcom games are smaller and not all jp games are smaller.
Nioh is 80gb
Nier is 50gb
FF XV is over 100
what in god's name is taking up so much space in this game lmao?
Pre-rendered video sadly and it's not even of particularly high quality.
Ok, so why are Capcom games so small? Whatever they do, it should be standard for everybody.
Right?
It's not 50 gbs.
I just checked, and the game folder on PC is 29.2GB
Yes, they are (and later RDR1 and 2, they became Rockstar San Diego)
