hopefully there is no day one patch that bloats that 25GB up.

Orchard1198d ago (Edited 1198d ago )

Good - next gen storage is at a premium on PS5.

They need to make save games carry over though.

SullysCigar1198d ago

When it comes to storage, it's not how big it is, it's how you use it ;^)

SullysCigar1198d ago

For those disagreeing, I was referring to the better compression tech. It's actually quite a big deal.

JEECE1198d ago

Yep. I like the game, but there is a 0% chance I'm going to go back through all of what I've played. Hopefully you can play the DLC packs as standalone options without using a base game save, so that I can just finish the PS4 version of Control then play the DLCs on PS5.

SullysCigar1198d ago

The good news is the file size is 42% smaller on PS5 than on Xbox Series X. So that's one less thing for you to worry about, eh? :^)

Fast SSD, no need to duplicate loads of assets to reduce seek times. [Sings] S.. S.. D...!

SamPao1198d ago

I swear I was singing it straight away!!! So good

Profchaos1198d ago (Edited 1198d ago )

Have to say I've been very impressed with overall game sizes it makes that smaller drive capacity seem like a much more valid decision then initial speculation.

As a side note I've been. Very impressed with the PSN download speeds on ps5 compared to 4/3 it took me 30 minutes to download control which would of taken a few hours on the old system

philm871198d ago

Yeah, the download speeds are so much better when you don't necessarily have long to play, or have an unexpected patch drop. I think they said the PS store is properly integrated into the system on the PS5, whereas it apparently wasn't on the PS4.

Ps4 50gb
Pc 47 gb
Ps5 25gb

StoneyYoshi1198d ago

That compression technology is starting to show its benefits. Destruction all stars is also just shy of 30 Gb which I think is pretty decent.

Wow hyped for Control Ultimate edition!

spicelicka71d ago

New games + Reruns + Day one releases + exclusives = win for me.

OtterX71d ago

A good game is a good game, even if it's older.

thesoftware73071d ago (Edited 71d ago )

You should be, Control was fantastic, and the DLC as well.

Obscure_Observer71d ago

Amazing month!

Control Ultimate Edition! Absolutely amazing game!

Fourth MBL game on Gamepass! Nice!

Lightyear Frontier Day One!

Petebloodyonion71d ago

Well, Control has been offered for free on anything that offers a subscription, it's basically like having a blast because they are offering GTA5.
Since No More Heroes 3, War hammer, and MLB the Show make this a nice month.

crazyCoconuts71d ago

It was even free non subscription - Epic
I have it on all platforms and stores lol

thesoftware73071d ago

The ultimate edition with all the DLC?

Petebloodyonion71d ago (Edited 71d ago )

Yes the ultimate edition was free on Epic I got it too.
FYI the PC version is the Ultimate version by default in term of Ray tracing and other bells and Whistles
Don't know about the DLC since I already had the game on Epic

Fishy Fingers71d ago (Edited 71d ago )

"Gamepass is bad for gaming, xbox gamers dont buy games"

Hits gamepass...

"I already got it free on every platform lolz"

Retro198671d ago

All those games are good for me and my family. Nice month 😊 And not long before diablo arrives also 😃

Traecy71d ago

Nothing of interest for me to play, I've already played Control. I'll just keep playing P3:Reload on GP.

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

cooperdnizzle687d 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.
