Otherwise modest specs. I'm guessing a lot of that 100gb is going to be dual language support.

all that vapor

Is this ... normal now?

Yep. Probably closer to the smaller end.

 

[texhnolyze]

This is actually good news to me. It kinda shows the scope of the game.

 

[Krvavi Abadas]

So in other words, you'd need 100 GD-ROMs to play the game on Dreamcast?

 

[Kalentan]

Huh... I mean like I get that with RDR2 or with Elder Scrolls Online and with Call of Duty after all of the DLC is out but that seems... absurdly high for this. Unless there is way more than what we have been shown.

 

[Deleted member 42]

All of it is VO

ALL OF IT

 

[abrasivemurk]

It comes with the option to switch to Japanese audio, right?

 

[Samanosuke Akechi]

August is shenmue 3 month. Hope it isn't delayed. 7 months to go,

Or the lack of proper file compression :P

 

[TheRed]

I have the feeling this year will have so many 100+ gb games and it will be the new norm. Really not looking forward to that.

 

[Pix]

This is actually normal, while I would've liked it to be compressed I much rather have the full scope of the game realized.

 

[Shadow2222]

They've been using these specs for months now, so they are most likely still estimating on the high side.

 

[Pey]

This was known since june.

 

[Finaika]

Is this the biggest game in history?

 

[AmirMoosavi]

Sounds like the game will be longer than previous entries, including more side-stories: http://shenmuedojo.com/forum/index....i-interviews-from-g-fusion-tour-in-china.884/

 

[Nooblet]

Probably just tons of prerendered cutscenes in different languages.

 

[Taco_Human]

I've never played 1 or 2, but I feel like I owe it to Sega to get this game when its out. Wow.

Gears 4 on PC is like 130GB and Halo 5 is 115GB.

 

[Strings]

This is actually good news to me. It kinda shows the scope of the game.

Click to shrink...

... Yeah, I'm pretty fucking impressed.

 

[Eggiem]

Um...

 

[-Tetsuo-]

5 hours of gameplay voice acting in 10 languages

 

[Datajoy]

Bigger and deeper than Red Dead 2 confirmed, get hyped people.

 

[Procheno]

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is 13 gigs with tons of voice acting, cutscenes and gigantic varied worlds. Shenmue 3 should be ashamed of itself

 

[BadAss2961]

Gears 4 on PC is like 130GB and Halo 5 is 115GB.

Click to shrink...

Then there's Final Fantasy XV. It's like at least 150GB with the texture pack installed.

 

[gfxtwin]

Is this going to take place in a sprawling open world city with the level of minute detail of the earlier games!?

 

[Deleted member 3700]

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is 13 gigs with tons of voice acting, cutscenes and gigantic varied worlds. Shenmue 3 should be ashamed of itself

Click to shrink...

The huge file size is probably due to 4K textures.

 

[The007JiM]

I see

 

[Deleted member 862]

4GB RAM
100GB disk

it's probably a bunch of videos then

 

[Vishmarx]

thee fuck?
have we even seen gameplay from this thing yet?
the hell are they making there

xenoblade 2 is the last thing id bring up in a discussion about technical competence.

 

[lvl 99 Pixel]

that's a lot of sailors

 

[Samanosuke Akechi]

Will this include high definition sailors?

That's not how it works

 

[EvilBoris]

How many sailors is that?

 

[Deleted member 7148]

Beat me to it.

 

[NanoGuidingStar]

I think it won't over 50GB eventually.

Hah. I forgot those were a thing.

The RAM requirement is only 4GB so the large file size is not textures that much I can tell you. It's most likely video files in multiple languages

Did not notice the RAM. Yeah, you are probably right.

 

[Samanosuke Akechi]

 

[KarmaCow]

I'd be very surprised if the majority of that 100GB isn't just video files.

 

[Mitsurugi]

Next-gen is going to be wild..

 

[808s & Villainy]

Get ready for lots of prerendered cutscenes I guess. I can't imagine what would take up that much space

 

[StereoVSN]

I still kind of hate this (100gb size not Shenmue 3).

I wish devs we're able to spend time to optimize graphics/sound and offer various options.

Got Shenmue 3 coming for PC and PS4 so that's 200gb of SSD space between the two.

 

[Eddie Bax]

So, for the technically minded, I'm curious - is this sort of stuff a matter of existing compression techniques being a poor match for the needs of modern games, or is it more of a matter of 'eh, storage is cheap and internet is fast enough, why use compression at all' (or something else entirely)?

more like the latter and time not permitting them a chance to do more compression.

Hopefully it's high res textures and uncompressed audio.

I hate prerendered cutscenes... Particularly the ones that try to blend in as realtime. Those always stand out on PC.

 

[Multiverse Moo]

Do people really think its going to be loads of video? Did y'all not play the original games? Pretty sure all the cutscenes were realtime.

No reason not to do the same here. it's just friggin Shenmue 3. The original games had multiple discs because of all the dialog, music, and original characters / props.

Could it potentially be better compressed? Perhaps, but by how much (if at all) depends on how the engine streams.
