When I pre-ordered yesterday it said the download was 42 gigs. Hopefully that was a place holder.

Yeah, they had a few PS4 games that were reduced using these techniques I think? It's deffo helping with reducing the PS5 file sizes too. I believe it's using some kind of magic.

I was originally concerned about the PS5 SSD size going into the gen, but seeing games using the compression techniques get this small, it's alleviating those concerns.

Now what I really wanna see is if Intergrade managed to shrink its file size.

Great to see, especially with the ssd size of the console not being as large as I would of hoped initially.

Amazing stuff and let's the available space push above their weight compared to PS4. I just hope Sony fixes a few silly storage management and patch decisions. I can't believe patches still need initially more space than the size of the actual patch. But anyways, great to see file sizes being so small. Exceeded my expectations.
Is this just Insomniac being wizards or do you think this is going to be more of a standard practice moving forward?
Standard.

Seriously impressive.

Not to beat a dead horse, but another reason cross gen is annoying

Go on Playstion OT some reviewer has the games and it seems a 15-20 hours game.

Another funny things when game will push more RT or software RT like Lumen, it means no light maps and game size will decrease too.
is that story alone, does that include rushing through the game? its hard to tell from reviewers sometimes. and harder to navigate the Playstation OT to find what you want sometimes lol

Most games on PSN in EU/NA regions are the same when released simultaneously. It's kinda strange that the US version is smaller. I buy most of my games on US PSN and 99% of the time, games available in French on EU PSN are likewise on US PSN.

So people's reaction seems to be that this is particularly small -- what were baseline expectations then, and why?

Maybe the european has bigger langueage support / localised voice acting.

This is on average just finish the game some rare people rushing the game finish it in 11-12 h. The platinium is easy and only a few more hours but there are tons of other things to complete the game after the plantinium trophy. the completion is probably double than this 24 to 30h. And there are some difficulty level for a second run.

This is a big R&C game.

And like modiz told the game is big and the quality of assets is much higher than R&C Remake 2016.

Oodle Kraken and the SSD doing a great job here. Awesome! Time to start my preload if my PS5 didn't start it automatically already.

I remember when small file sizes were considered bad, and people got hyped when a game had a large one because they thought it meant more content.

Funny to see things flip.

curious what you mean by this. This game's not cross-gen, but other cross-gen games the size on PS5 has been much smaller as well (Control, Subnautica, Crash 4).

oh never mind then šŸ˜‚

I get that compression is one thing, but also...didn't Cerny say that a PS4 game has multiple of the same assets due to the nature of HDD speed.

Can't imagine that they go back to remove duplicaten assets?

But I'm probably wrong lol.

For example: Miles Morales is 50 gb on PS4 and PS5. I get that the PS5 has better assets, but recon the game could have been smaller if they didnt have to duplicate?

Regardless, it's a bit of a non issue a few gbs when games like Call of Duty are close to 200 lol
