Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut won't be out until August. We have a good idea of its file size now thanks to the official PlayStation Store.

Not surprising since it includes all the latest updates as well as the expansion dlc. All this would increase file size no matter how good data compression is.

VerminSC1029d ago

Poor optimization. Yeah it has a lot more content but not enough to justify that increase.

Battlestar231029d ago

Are you a dev? Please list the games you have worked on so we can see your superior optimization.

tombfan1029d ago

Lol I was going to answer in the same way, he isn't a dev, he just assume about things like everyone here, we don't know how process are so we just comment what we think is the right thing.

So yeah, Vermin doesn't have a clue.

VerminSC1028d ago

And you do? There are much larger games with far more assets that are smaller. Just because you have a boner over the game doesn’t mean it’s optimized properly.

You do release the initial file size on PS4 is BEFORE the patches and multiplayer added right? I guarantee you when you put this up against the PS4 version Director's Cut the PS5 version will be smaller.

Not necessarily. Death Stranding had to be gimped for PC.. Its 55GB PS 4/ 80GB PC... However the full Horizon ZD [all add-ons/ Frozen Wilds etc] is 46GB PS 4/100GB PC.. DS only requires standard Windows with 8GB of RAM... HZD is 64bit only and requires 16GB RAM.

Both run on Decima.

PS 4 uses the ZLIB Decompression module, which Cerny stated they were going to use with the PS5 but went with Kraken, which is 10% min more efficient than ZLIB. It varies on what types of files are compressed [ie data/audio/video etc].

To the site kiddies/MS/PC fanboys who will mark me down

More clueless anti PS kiddies.. Clue little boy, Killzone SF

https://www.eurogamer.net/a...

was 290GB, reduced to under 40GB via the PS 4s built in ZLIB decompression unit. Which is a 7.25:1 OPTIMISATION... Sony wanted to shut down the PS 3 store... WHY kid???

***‘Uncharted 3’ digital download requires 87GB of HDD, download size revealed***

Uncharted 3 is 87GB, on the PS 4 the entire Nathan Drake collection
https://www.gamespot.com/ar...

***Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection will take up more than 44 GB of space on your PlayStation 4 hard drive. That's according to a report from PlayStation Universe, which confirms the file size to be exactly 44.46 GB. That's larger than Grand Theft Auto V (41.8 GB), the site points out.

The Nathan Drake Collection launches on October 8 exclusively for PS4, though you can play a free demo starting September 29. It comes with 1080p/60fps versions of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, and Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.***

is under 45GB and that includes an upgrade to 1080p/60.

Now off you go, back on the naughty step and wait for the special bus..

You are one strange dude…

dbcoops1028d ago

"Video Game Optimization" describes a process for increasing the performance of a video game for better gameplay and visual experience."

"Good optimization means that the game works at the same framerate across a wide range of hardware specs, including low-end configurations." Maintaining that reliable framerate is where they see the importance of graphical settings, since they can bridge the large technological gap between low- and high-end PCs.

This is nothing to do with optimization.

"There are much larger games with far more assets that are smaller."

Which ones and what are their files sizes?

Screw this
It's a pass for me
I've been deleting games off my ps5 to make room for new games and I'm not deleting anymore

GhostofHorizon1028d ago

I never really have this problem personally. I start a game and finish it. Then either delete it right away if I know I won't play it again or delete it if I ever need room for something else.

I get that people like to have a few games on the go and I see the benefit of having all your games at the press of a button but there is really so much out there to play that going back to games is a rare thing for me.

How many games do people run on average at the same time?

Hellcat20201028d ago

That's fine if you can play that way but for me I have games that either had an expansion pack that just released or a new season as in big games like Valhalla or Cold War and games that just recently got patched for ps5 that I'd want to give another run in as God of War or TloU2 or even games like The Division 2 and Borderlands 3 and this doesn't include games that I don't want to delete like Returnal or Demons Souls and many other games.

justsomeoffdude1028d ago

" If you own a PS5, you will need 60 GB of space to install the game. This is larger than the 50 GB that was suggested for the original release, but the install size ended up at 35 GB. This doesn’t take into account the 12 GB of updates that were released after the launch of the game."

Ghost of Tsushima on PC Won't Be Released in Specific Countries Due to PSN, and Here's the List

It seems Ghost of Tsushima on PC will have the same PSN purchasing restrictions that caused massive backlash to Helldivers 2.

H91d 2h ago

People on N4G: just fly to another country, what's the big deal

JL29301d ago

No one cares about 3rd world problems.

INMATEofARKHAM21h ago

There's actually at least one 1st world country on that list and a number of 2nd world countries too. It's almost as if you don't know what defines 1st, 2nd or 3rd world countries... 🤔

JL293017h ago

Ever hear of turn of phrase? English must not be your first language.

H913h ago

If only it was a gender problem

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH3h ago

If I had to guess your age based on your comment I’d say middle schooler.

not available in JAPAN., wtf sony need to sort their sh** out. this is beyond a joke when a samurai game cannot be sold in Japan, something is wrong.

Hugodastrevas1d 1h ago

Yeah, it's all wrong since they may bed to California

StoneTitan1h ago

Because for Japan you have to create a different version. You should look it up. The game is sold in Japan but its not the same storefront. Same with helldivers.
Has something to do with microtransaczion laws.
Look it up.

Hugodastrevas1d 1h ago

Bunch of geniuses running Sony these days... Smh

ocelot071d 1h ago

Got the feeling Sony are half arsing the PC thing. It's that or the whole PC thing is completely lost on them.

wesnytsfs22h ago

Its lost to sony, They have been quite poor at pc releases going all the way back to the OG planetside.

Inverno1d 1h ago

Why tho? The SP works without the need to log into PSN, this was literally announce. So why is it an issue? Simply A. removing the login restriction fixes this, or B. People simply won't play the MP which I don't think people will care much. A better option is A, or even better just lower the game price in those countries to compensate for the lack of MP access.

I would be on it. Especially if they change up the gameplay to differentiate from first game. Loved the first.

Currently enjoying Rise of Ronin.

blackblades44d ago

Both have different gameplay but it amazes me how people kept comparing just because they both are samurai. Seems kinda ...... that im not gonna mention.

Cacabunga44d ago

Bend studios making a gaas game and getting lot of negative comments abt that direction.
I hope these stay faithful to making amazing SP games..

Demetrius43d ago

Definitely getting ronin soon, I'm on my 2nd playthrough of GOT on ps5 this time🔥

-Foxtrot45d ago

Probably my most anticipated to be announced

I hope Jinns story continues and we get way more stealth tactics like dragging bodies away and the like.

Lightning7745d ago

I fully expect this game to be announced. Late 2025 release perhaps.

Either way I can't wait for its announcement at Sony's showcase.

Friendlygamer44d ago (Edited 44d ago )

I'm hoping for more complex interior level design for stealth gameplay and also a more complex stance system that's more than rock paper and scissor for each enemy type

RhinoGamer8844d ago

I have stopped pre-ordering games since Cyberpunk 2077 fiasco...this is a game I will make an exception for...

5 Ways Ghost of Tsushima is Better Than Rise of the Ronin

Sucker Punch's open world epic stands head and shoulders above the most recent game that takes inspiration from it.

Ghost of Tsushima is one of my favorite games all time. Hard to live up to that. Not all games are going to be equivalent to some of the best games ever and that’s ok. It is a natural comparison though

Killer2020UK45d ago

Totally agree, as a jaded gamer well into his 30s I didn't think games could hit like Ghost it Tsushima did. I actively avoided story missions in order to pursue every single side quest purely because I didn't want it to end. I wanted to be immersed in that world for as long as it lasted.

JangoMan43d ago

I hate open world games. Its clutter and fatigue. Except GoT.. I completed every thing before going into next main mission. The feeling of playing the game was.... I cant explain. It was perfect

raWfodog44d ago

My favorite jaw-dropping moment was obtaining the Ghost stance. Epic.

JangoMan43d ago

Agreed. Its the dream come true for fans of Samurai and Japan feudal age.

Andrew33645d ago

Got was good but super repetitive.

Juiceid44d ago

Arguably every game is repetitive.
