Thats actually smaller then i thought (thats what she said) i was expecting something like 40GB considering it is 2 games with all the DLC.

VER1ON3376d ago

Same here, it you would take into consideration that some PS3 games actually filled up to 40-50GB that is rather small.

Could it be ? the game is compressed ? and would take a longer loading time while u play it due to that ?

Or they just done a great job into fitting it as small as that :)

VER1ON3376d ago

Yes it is compressed, just like most of the games nowadays. If recent games weren't compressed they wouldn't fit on 1 blu-ray disc

bars883376d ago (Edited 3376d ago )

Actually thats not true.

PS4 and Xbox One games when they are digitally downloaded you download the entire uncompressed image.

An image can be compressed while on disc, thats why games require a mandatory install, to install the system require files (engine etc.) to the Hard Disk, engine files, HD imagery and HD Audio are often huge files, directly loaded and uncompressed to the hard disk.

You see constantly compressing and decompressing while playing a game takes a huge toll on your CPU, sometime that is definitly not preferable hence why no image is ever directly played from a compressed state.

VER1ON3376d ago

@bars88 I was indeed talking about games on disc. You're right though.

Not too large, but was expecting much more. I am looking forward to this, but on Xbox One. I've played these games on PS3 and this time I went with the Xbox experience.

Resistance 3 is such a great game. One of my all time bests.

cooperdnizzle705d ago

Couldn’t agree more. Still love It as a shooter to this day.

Just something about that game. I really wish they would just do a remaster, don’t even need a remake just bring it up to todays out put, touch up a few things if any, and I am there to buy it day one.

Of course I would love a remake built from the ground up. As long as they treated it like Shadow of the Colossus, or close to those type of remake. Wouldn’t want it to get the RE treatment…. Just because the game is already paced so perfect and hits all the right beats that I wouldn’t touch that aspect.

because they all run like garbage and are poorly optimized for switch

G3ng4r944d ago

These actually run quite well on switch but you are welcome to show us how ignorant you are if you like. I picked up the handsome collection because of how nice it looks on switch compared to something like outer worlds. Outer worlds is blurry trash on switch.

Yui_Suzumiya944d ago (Edited 944d ago )

I have The Outer Worlds on both PS4 and Switch and it most definitely didn't run bad on Switch. How many hours did put in on the Switch version?!

G3ng4r944d ago

My profile says I played for 75 hours so I put up with some stuff. And it does run bad on switch. The latest patch helped to keep it at 30fps but it still doesn't stay there. Then there are those moments when the game stops you where you are to load assets, you can't tell me you haven't seen that loading circle in the center of the screen. Lastly, and most damning in my opinion, is how blurry the game is. Monarch in particular gave me a headache to look at for long, orange soup for miles.

Look, I get it, you're a switch fan. So am I. That doesn't mean we have to be dishonest and claim that games that were obviously never meant to come to the platform actually run flawlessly.

G3ng4r944d ago

Examples of ported games that look nice on switch: skyrim, dark souls, borderlands, bioshock, diablo 3

Examples of ported games that look like a fart on switch: outer worlds, witcher 3, divinity os 2, doom 2016, ark survival

It isn't hard. Play what the switch handles well, skip what it doesn't and don't confuse people as to what looks good and what doesn't.
