Will this game get a pre-load?

[J4CKM4N2266]

I have what we call A REALLY ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Internet connection and downloading 20+gb will take almost a full day to download. If all that was done before the release date that would be great.

Plus, it would also mean that I can enjoy the game on launch and not x amount of days after.

Will this game get a pre-load?

Guys relax a little.Just because steam says 25 GB's that doesnt mean it will be 25.Bioshock Infinite said 30 GB's and was 14 GB's.Dont believe everything steam says.When steam says 10 GB's its bound to be 5-7 GB's for example.

The reason it shows that much is due to preloads . For example , if ya download a 19 gb preload , it needs another 20+ gb free on the partition for the unpacking .

I never preloaded Bioshock Infinite for example.Bought it later.Full thing was like 14,6 GB's,and it was writing in the store page for 30 GB's.This alone explains it all.

What is the size of your directory for Infinite?

Ehh, the download size is almost every single time smaller than the described size. Well at least always have been like that for me. I'd recall L.A. Noire having 18GB free HDD space prescribed whilst the download itself was 11GB.

That's because it lists HDD space required to install the game, not the download size.

Compression is a wondrous thing.

Exactly. MGS: Revengeance will most definitely be compressed in download size if the stars are aligned correctly.

It will also be encrypted for pre-load, and encryption only makes size bigger.
But i think its still will be less than size of installed game.

This is how it's done..
