Days Gone is 67GB (largest among Sony first-party games)

My roommate loves YouTube, so it makes it more difficult to download games or patches. Their 'addiction' just started recently. The last game I downloaded took a couple or few hours longer because of it.
We don't even know if it will be a partial download yet so 'ridicule' is premature regardless.
Well I'll be! Epic really did a wonderful job with UE4 if it's being used for everything from Days Gone, indie Metroidvanias like Bloodstained, and even the king of traditional JRPGs Dragon Quest XI.
Blu-ray actually goes all the way up to six layers, but compatibility on consumer-grade hardware is very limited and if I'm not mistaken, non-existent on the PS4 altogether.
As long as the game is fully playable from the disc(s) I don't care. If RDR2 can do it with 100+GB, Sony has no excuses.
If this is not the title of the OP. WHOO BOY, I'm gona be pissed
No, I just know what it's like when something like this takes you offline for a day+, it's shit. At least it's seems the Disc doesn't require a massive download too (that shit can just fuck off and shouldn't be acceptable day 1).
space has never been an issue ever since the ability to plug in an external was introduced. This thing being 67GB isn't so bad when you got a X-TB external :)
I'm really looking forward to this, I hope it's got some zombie survival type mechanics.
I also prefer the games sizes to be as big as possible because this usually means higher quality assets and I only ever have a couple of games installed at any one time so not worried about hdd space.

man, i really am still not sure how i feel about this one. thankfully i have a rental store near me that survived.
If you want, i'm sure that you can put over 750 hours into the game =) I dont know if this game is build around grinding like Monster Hunter World though.
Sony decided to not support 4K Blu-ray's so we're gimped and therefore gimping the rest of the generation for both platforms.
Most games are well under this size, we're nowhere near last gen situation dealing with 6Gb DVD limits.
Anyways, I thought GT Sport was bigger.
Depends on the infrastructure of where people live. People can't just lay down fiber optic cables at their own expense you know. For someone who is taking the technological high ground, you would think you would be able to figure that out for yourself.
Adjust the bandwidth on the modem and throttle the speeds for everyone but yourself.
Nah, its not a Sony thing. No one supported BlurayXL (100GB discs) at the begining of the generation, thats why 50GB discs are still used. 4K Bluray (or UHD Bluray) specifications were finalized in 2015 i think. Thats why Xbox One S (released in later 2016) added 4K Bluray support. But later support like that wont be the standard, because they need to make sure that all systems can read the games.
"Day Gone Be Good" is the chose one (for me). And I will profusely interject if it isn't.
the size of the games is really becoming a huge burden to data limits and is delaying the all digital future.
No that's the poor infrastructure and data caps delaying the all digital future, not big games
Resolution notwithstanding the game will support HDR. They talked about it at the PS4 Pro's reveal.
Deeply amusing seeing the posts that are passing on it entirely because of the download size. First time I've ever heard of such a complain in this board.
It appears Days Gone is the only game in existence above 50 gigs.
I have a feeling many people here don't get how big AAA video games are these days. These developers compress their games like crazy and they still come out at 50 GB on average. These games are huge. If you have a shitty internet and whatnot, I don't know what else to tell you. Sony can't squeeze a massive game into a 5MB install. It's just unreasonable. That's just what the size is going to be for games these days. This isn't Sony being anti-consumer or whatnot, this is them compressing a game to the best of their ability and distributing it to a mass public. Era likes to be angry and be in this "activist" mode 24/7 but the fact of the matter is games as an artform are an expensive endeavor, both at the hands of the people who made them and at the hands at the people who play them. That is the unfortuante growth of technology and the great technological inequality that needs to be addressed. In the meantime, it is what it is and there's nothing stopping this from advancing even further than what we initially imagined.
Thats just my impression, i could be wrong. Just wondering, what makes you think that the game revolves around grinding for stuff? And what stuff would you be grinding for?
