50gb file size?

[Bing Chilling]

bf2 is only 10gb
bf1 is 3gb

even with the Xbox DLC + adding enhanced hero assault/split screen
i don't see how that is adding another 37gb.

upscaled textures potentially... that's the only thing i can think of.

I think it's more than just texture updates.
Aside from it also being TWO games in one and textures, there's been some mechanics improvements - minor ones, bug fixes, glitch removals, updating the engines to run much better on modern systems, a few more, new maps added, one or more new game modes- or more of the same game modes added to more maps, better view distance - if you can think of something, it's probably been at lest slightly improved.
Maybe they've also upped the max player/AI cap on the teams.

43gb for the cryptominer Aspyr installs to fund their next port

Idk I think it's still oddly high. Like even Spider-Man Miles Morales is 47gb in comparison.

Textures and uncompressed original audio files maybe?

[Darth Alpharius]

ive seen games have something like that but only have around 15-20gigs

The 50GB size is ridiculous. It doesn't even have audio for other languages. How could aspyr bloat two games that are like 15GB together to take up 50 now.

yeah i have no idea as in the trailer the games look identical to the other ones

i keep hearing people say that they are "updating the textures"
where are they even reading this.

i could maybe it being audio files but i doubt it.
seems abit sus to me.

Reminder that the tomb raider I-III remakes are only 4gb total. This is just a lack of competency and laziness to make a quick buck.

Honestly, My thoughts EXACTLY. I'm only biching about the price. If it were to be like 20 or 15 bucks then that is worth it. I can't see myself spend over 25 bucks or over for a game that is 20 plus years old on...thing's that other player's would mod them out. The fact that's it's actaully at 50 plus tax here in canada is just ludachris!!

The answer is likely the same as most modern games. Poor, lazy optimisation.

Something you have to keep in mind, 4k textures are 4k textures no matter how pretty or not they are (more or less, anyways). So if the games are upscaled, that's a LOT of textures increasing massively in size. Then factor in a good chunk of battlefront 1 maps are duplicated in bf2 because I doubt these games share textures.
