Are they gonna be UHD discs that hold more data? Or are we still gonna be capped around 50gb and have to download the rest?

Demon's Souls Remake and Spider-Man: Miles Morales minimum file size revealed
- Thread starter SoulsHunt
- Start date
They are UHD discs, but for Miles Ultimate the Spider-Man Remastered+DLC content is a download code.
I'm going to have to do this as well. Hopefully games transfer fast.
With all the talk of SSD and compression I don't really blame anyone for thinking otherwise. Most talk was definitely "It'll be smaller" with no real conversation of "Actually it'll be smaller relative to the increase in textures, etc".
So really what most should've said prior is "It'll be similar in size to us, but reduced for developers compared to how they were working before"
This is one of the main reasons I appreciate physical discs. There's a real comfort in knowing I can delete a game and not have to wait hours to redownload it if it was a mistake or I changed my mind a week later. Sure, the patches still need to download but it's still not as bad as having to download the whole game again on top of that. (I was also hoping that PS5 would let you keep patch data on the drive, but only delete the base game - not sure how likely it is we get to control stuff like that).
With the amount of assets they adding at 4k not that surprising .
Each area just full of HQ assets when you look at vids and pics .
Well, it may well be smaller than it would have been otherwise... but that's not the same as reducing file sizes relative to last gen, which is what many people took it to mean.
8-10 games at once is fine. I don't typically play more than 2-3 at once. Just put your oldest on the HDD, probably takes 10 minutes to transfer if even that.
PC is more cumbersome doing that because there really isn't a super easy way to transfer back and forth since games directory can mess up and all that.

Physcial isn't going to make a difference just like this gen (except Switch). Games copy on to the system anyways and take the same space as digital.
Hmmm I get around 30MB/s from PSN typically. So not far off. Hopefully PSN gets faster so I can get more of my Gigabit connection.
The 1TB Samsung 980 Pro should show up this holiday. 7GB/s read speed.
probably won't cost a penny under $350.
Might be best to manage the internal storage for a while until prices settle.
It is smaller. Subtract the standard edition's 50 GB of Miles Morales form the Ultimate Edition's 105 GB and we know that Spider-Man Remastered is 55 GB. Spider-Man on PS4 is 53.61 GB for the base game + 2.2 GB for The Heist + 1.63 GB for Turf Wars + 2.41 GB for Silver Lining.
So that's a total of 59.85 GB on PS4 to PS5's 55 GB.
What a savings!
for a 60-80gb game maybe like, 10-12 minutes?
i do a lot of animation and stuff and when I have to move about 60GB of data to/from my SSD (5.0 GBps) to HDD (9600RPM), it takes about 7-8 minutes either way. i know it's not directly comparable but it hopefully won't take like a long ass time.
there are also external SSDs you can use for storage if you really only plan to exceed that ~800GB SSD space by a few hundred gigs, a smaller one shouldn't be too expensive and would be considerably faster.
I didn't realize there was a belief games would be smaller in size. This lines up with what I expected. It sucks, but expected.

The Armor Spider actually has new attacks so yeah, definitly new content!
Whatever the speed of the external up to 1.25GB/s This is theoretical maximum.
Agree.
Yeah, when I saw that thread about the which SSD to get because of the speed, I saw one came with a USB C to USB C cord.
I wanna know this too. I'm actually looking for external NVMe too.
100-200MB/s, so around 9-18 minutes for something like Spider-Man U. Write speeds are significantly lower though at around 25-40 MB/s so a swap would take much, much longer. Fragmentation would make that worse. Probably better to just redownload if you have a fast connection.
All I need to know is what kind of external hard drive should I get for PS5? I like to bop back and forth between so many games at once, so I guess I'll be constantly moving things back and forth between external and internal, right?
how does storage expansion work on PS5? Can I just plug in an m2? What m2s work? I wish I had ANY idea about this stuff.
The m2 drives has to be certified fast enough. So don't go out and buy any m2 drive.
yep
you're in luck it's all right here

Same size as the base game. Spider-Man must have a lot of cutscenes and dialogue. I'm guessing a 25 hour platinum game.
Well the PS5 version has better assets so in a way you can say the saving was big in terms of not making the game much bigger .
sounds about right. People here talking like we didn't have 50GB games en masse on the current gen, and remember most people still have 500GB drives in there.
The only real issue is that having a secondary drive for the PS5 will cost a small fortune because of the new technology compared to HDD's on PS4

I remember someone saying PC 4K asset packs were like 20-30gbs in size so I was expecting large sizes.
Looks like Spider-Man 4K is similar to PS4 so that's a good sign.
I don't think Sony should make those GDC talks public, I'm sure some people imagined getting pied-piper compresses sizes after watching it.

yeah the reactions calling these big file sizes are odd
people are gonna be shocked by the asset quality when they see Demon's Souls on a 4K TV
What NVME drives are approvedyep

Spiderman PS5 only adding 10GB of extra data could be good indication of how much they've added to the game (not a lot). Unless Spider-man remastered is sharing a lot of assets with Miles.
nothing yet officially but we know they need to be at least 7.0 GBps minimum transfer speed
If it does work in ten minutes, i could live with that. I already have an exteral hdd for my ps4 so i dont have to buy anything. Cerny said you can play ps4 games off an hdd, as well.
With Xbox Series S, Smart Delivery used correctly could keep file sizes down somewhat if Microsoft can convince its partners to actually utilize it. Series S and Series X versions of games with different assets to match their respective specs.
But we haven't had firm confirmation of this, and I think Smart Delivery is really only used by Microsoft's closer partners on the Xbox One X right now — most devs just still put out a one-size-fits-all file to install in my experience.
