Demon's Souls Remake and Spider-Man: Miles Morales minimum file size revealed
- Thread starter SoulsHunt
- Start date
I mean were talking about an entire game filled with native 4K assets. If people were expecting like 30GB installs here I don't know what to tell you.
Samsung and Sabrent's new NVME drives this year are supposed to have around 7 GBps transfer speed
Jesus. Honestly sounds like the expansion cards on xsx might be more affordable
Probably not all that fast, but I guess we'll find out come November. I have a 4TB external with my PS4, so I intend to use that to move games back and forth from the SSD, keeping only what I'm currently playing on the system memory.
Cerny talked about the elimination of redundancies in the context of loading speeds, not file sizes. In fact Cerny went out of his way to suggest using external storage for PS4 backwards compatibility to save room on the SSD.
They probably will be at the start, but presumably the PS5 SSDs will be cheaper after a year or two.
yeah Cerny said they need to be somewhat faster than the PS5's internal SSD in order to function the way it does with its unique I/O interface. For at least the first year or two yeah, expansion SSD for PS5 will be more expensive than the Xbox's proprietary option.
I'm not even considering it. 800GB is honestly plenty for more than a few games at a time (I don't play Call of Duty & GTA and such very much) and I don't mind moving them around in storage. Just gonna use my current external HDD for storage, pick up a couple external SSDs on the cheap when I can.
It will to begin with. It also is far slower speed req. If XSX had an NVME expansion slot like PS5, then you could get a drive for it for about $120.
I was waiting for this type of info before I placed a per-order. Think I'll end up buyIng a physical console and pick and choose what games I'll buy digitally and what games I'll buy physically. I've mostly gone digitally this current gen but with my current internet speeds for the foreseeable future I'll probably end up buying a few more physical copies than I usually would.
Files sizes are most likely smaller and they have new compression tech.. but when you throw in true 4k assets and all the other new effects, yeah that data they gained is swallowed back up.
I mean Demon Souls is 66 Spiderman remastered is 55 and Miles is 50, sounds exceptible to me.

People took the talk about reduced file sizes to mean reduced gen on gen, not just "lower than it would otherwise be", and this got spread around heaps in relation to concerns over the storage space being so small to begin with. As usual, Sony didn't say games would be smaller than last gen, but the ambiguity as usual worked in their favour. I was cautioning people against assuming that games would be smaller (especially over time, when people are daydreaming about the ssd speeds enabling super fast asset streaming meaning more assets per frame... meaning bigger file sizes), but for many it was not 'obvious'.
MS said this week that they expect Series S installs to come in around 30% smaller than Series X installs.

The Xbox Series S comes with a smaller SSD, but Microsoft has a solution that'll help keep game install sizes down.

Which is great, why would anyone complain about this.

I had not seen this, thanks! Cool that Smart Delivery is seemingly going to be more robust.
you can use any external drive for storage, but can't play PS5 games off it. to expand the SSD memory to use for games you have to purchase a compatible SSD NVME with at around 7.0 GBps speed or higher.
I'll definitely be installing PS4 games on external storage, I don't mind the loading times. I currently have a 500GB external SSD but I might upgrade to a 1TB version for that.
I think I should just get used to having less games installed in general. I have like 45 games on my PS4 and most of them I haven't played in years. Luckily I don't have a bandwidth cap so I can always delete and re-download if need be.

Ah, so you can store PS5 games to external hard drives for back up right?
So any normal external HDD will work for PS5 strictly as a backup drive with the intent of moving things back and forth? If so, I am thinking to buy one now in case there's a rush on them during the holidays.
They should've made Spider-Man selectable from the Miles Morales menu so you don't have to install all the city assets twice.
Thing is that will be up to the developers and Series S useable space will be closer to half of PS5 and way less than half when compared to XSX.MS said this week that they expect Series S installs to come in around 30% smaller than Series X installs.

I hope that they update the OS to support larger hard drives, I have an extra 12tb external laying around with no use and I can't use it on ps4, it'd be nice if that could be my archive drive for the generation.
If 50 to 60 is the average for the time being, I'm not to worried about it for the first year or so.
I gotta get me an external hard drive for the PS5 then!
Yes, this seems like the route I'll go. I don't play more than 1 game actively at one time any way .. get a nice 1, 2 TB USB 3.1 drive for cold storage, keep 3~4 games in the fast drive at one time so I can play them as needed.
825GB won't be usable, more like mid-low 700GB due to the OS taking up space.
i think Spider-Man is like barely bigger on PS5 than on PS4 based on these numbers. Miles Morales is like 50GB.
while using newer higher quality assets
