why is this game 86 gigabytes

[willy bammy]

After all these years we still don't know how to compress our files? I figured they'd learn how to after T7 was 80gb but nope. That's ridiculous

edit: mods can lock this thread whenever since it has naturally devolved into an argument

Heres the kicker. The upcoming seasons will possibly ramp up the storage space to match the day one regional pricing 100GB plus tax. XD

100gb + tax is a lot of money

[Les Yeux De Ni ni]

Mine took 77, 7 GB even after preloading completed and encrypted. How is yours 86 GB?

[Neon]

Full game is said to be slighlty over 100gb.

Also what games these days are under 100gb?

Plenty of games that aren't made by crappy triple A western devs. Those CoD games do not need to be hundreds of gigs.
I'll give T8 credit that it's smaller than a lot of other lazy companies would've made their game, but I just don't see why a fighting game should be 80 gigs. Especially as a multiplayer game that most people will want to play long term and keep it installed, more effort should be put in to minimize the size. Never settle when it comes to these big studios

Sure but..you are seriously saying this for tekken 8?

This game is probably the Baldurs gate 3 of fighting games

It is good to complain about stuff.. but you are talking about tekken here as if it was a blizzard game or call of duty or Starfield or stuff like that. because of the game taking up some more storage? lmao

*loads up Palworld on 8TB drive.

This is fine.

I'm a firm believer that even if the game is really good stuff like this should be criticized. It's made by Bandai Namco. Big company with big money.
Game is gonna be really fun but c'mon, let me uninstall story mode or something at least to save some real estate

[SEATEK The_LEFTY]

Well, Tekken 7 could have all of the FMVs removed and that saved some space- You might want to look into that.

[Serious]

It's 86 gb because 2024.
While i don't like this "always big games"-thing either. It's standard.
And it's no standard because we are stupid or the devs are greedy or whatever, it's standard due to the technical and market situation for computer hardware.
Storage is cheap → Devs don'tcare about storage (except you want to play on a microcontroller).

Accept it. There is nothing to discuss here.
If you don't accept it you won't be able to play future AAA games.

Unlike you, I don’t care for multiplayer. So delete that. I only care about training and the story mode. Online is a joke. Because you have to be at a advantage or disadvantage based on their connection. And hackers. And cheaters. And rate quitters. So that would probably not take too much GB off it that was possible. Still. I wouldn’t EVER install it.

Lol. I’m starting to think the reason $69.99 for a fighting game is too expensive for you people, is because all you people want is multiplayer. No wonder why.

$69.99 is a good price for this game. You all complain about the price, I’ll use solo features that makes this game worth $69.99.

I would say that no one would argue if there was simply multiplier client to download aside from the "full game". Maybe Tekken 9.
