The Last of Us Part 2's File Size is 100 GB

Oh, good to know.
And if we talk about textures, i guess they might eat much space if they use PBR rendering, right? Like, every object has not just 3 textures (classic trio of diffuse/bump/spectacular), but around 7-8 (or even more?), and all in high resolution.
edit:
I still can't believe that Titanfall 1 on PC is 12 gb of game assets and 25+ gb of audio.
Upgrade your Internet? With as much of our lives these days revolve around the Internet, it seems silly to skimp on that.
In any case, with digital you can pre-load. Even the worst broadband connections will have the game ready to go at midnight PDT.

It was video. And a lot of assets. And audio.
TLOU 2 won't have the prerendered video, though.

Reportedly 50-70% of new release AAA-title sales are physical. Not sure how the remainder could be considered a "huge majority". Sure, the current situation might impact sales, but by June, the majority of retail is expected to be up and running, so that impact shouldn't be too drastic.
I imagine this file size is down to high quality audio and cutscenes. I'm really looking forward to the previews!
You can look at the September previews of it. But you probably shouldn't expect previews (at least hands-on) any time soon for any games due to COVID-19. No way companies are going to risk gathering journalists from around the world together to play a game.
That's a really good point! It's a shame there isn't a way they could hand out a timed preview (first couple hours) demo to journalists. Obviously it's a bad idea since it would be leaked and it would cause more bloody problems.
The longer, the better! 20-30 hours, give it to me!
I'll probably delete Destiny 2 finally, it's way past its expiration date.

It's a bit naive to think COVID-19 will be less enough of a threat that most video game and technology stores can re-open in June.
I don't recall this name ever being officially announced, so this is essentially a spoiler?
Here’s why it’s very unlikely Sony will release The Last of Us Part 2 digitally on May 29
Sony recently announced that The Last of Us Part 2 would be delayed indefinitely, due to the impact of COVID-19.

Also, while not really super up to date, the latest sony financial reports state 53% digital for ps4 game sales in Q1 2019 and 37% digital for Q2 2019.
Edit: found Q3 info, 49% digital.
Globally, who know. Where I live, all retail opens this coming Monday. Similar story across all EU.

I downloaded RDR 2 in less time than installing would take.
But it's probably impossible for people with data caps.
Sorry for this being off topic. But for the Last of Part 2 what are chances of it having PS5 enhancements (like what Microsoft is doing for gears 5 for the series x)
Yep. File sizes rarely indicate anything.
Compression is incredibly powerful, still blows my mind when the game fits on a disc. But yea, you can have games be 2 gigs or 2 Tb's, just depends on how compressed you... compress it.
yeah no TLOU2 thread is safe. fuck. really big spoiler imo.
the most mind boggling compression work for me is BOTW being 14gb.

Your guess is at good as anyone's, but I would sure as hell hope Sony isn't dumb enough to not do that.
as MS is being really proactive with this and Smart Delivery, i don't believe Sony will want to eat dust.
It's just that silence on this very topic kind of makes it uneasy. I just hope it's not like a Wii U situation, like you can play your old wii games but with no enhancements
Same, hopefully Sony will make announcements regarding this topic during the PS5 reveal event and if they don't I'm expecting the worst case scenario where enhancements are locked behind an additional paywall.
Game sizes are preventing me from buying games. I understand they are necessary but to me it still seems like a slap in the face.
"Our game is so good we demand a quarter of your storage space..."
Xbox's little portable SSDs is like the ideal solution for me though so that may change.

Yeah, this is why I might go all physical next gen. Downloading 100gb of data with my slow ass internet would day probably about 3-5 days.
lots of BOAT? you are right
I'm giving that a 65% probably, the reason being is that most of their cross buy efforts didn't offer any major enhancements. When it was major, like the last of us we were charged. Even through the PS4 could have read the ps3 discs and offered a free upgrade
You could always use a external HD. 400gb is too small, the default now on consoles is 1tb.
True, but now that we have backwards compatibility that's a way harder sell IMO because you'd essentially be selling me a graphics/framerate enhancement pack. Just imagine if the PS4 had been BC with PS3 from the day of the PS4's release, trying to justify $60 for a game such as The Last of Us Remastered would have been really hard.
