70GB WTF

[Dionysus 🐭]

Why is this game 70GB? Not even GTA V or MGSV:TPP is 70GB, so why is this so large?

It is only 70 GB because on PC you are not allowed to download the videos. You have to stream them. On XBox you can download the whole game including the videos. With the videos its much more than 70 GB. So actually its small, not large.

That is still very large.

Right. It doesn't answer the question, but the question obviously doesn't make sense. You can't answer a question that doesn't make sense. I explained that it is actually small. That's the opposite of what the question is about.

Maybe he should change his question to something like "its only 70 GB, why isn't it even smaller".

[white_ghost]

No. It does not make any sense to ask why something is LARGE that is actually small. You're funny :)

That was the question. And it makes perfect sense. In times, where games like Titanfall and Call of Duty are shipped with 30-50GB of uncompressed audio files, one may ask if it is really necessary that a games uses 70GB disk space when it doesn't come with a huge open world or large render cutscenes.

But it appears that nobody ever analysed the gamefiles of Quantum Break.

Oh ffs, do you even remotely know what you are talking about?
It doesn't matter **** if the game is open world or not. The thing that matters most is the texture size. And while QB is a pretty piss poor port, it's actual size IS still pretty small compared to what you are getting.
i.e.: look at the xbox one x version with its 4k assets and textures aswell as videos: almost 180GB.

I'm not in denial. You are just not smart enough to see that this question does not make sense. Let me try to give you a simpler example. If he had asked why the sky is green, you could not answer the question, because the sky is not green. It's blue. This is why you can't answer the question why the game is large, because its small. Was this simple enough for you to understand?

Btw: You don't need to buy a few TB because of only 70 GB. A TB is much more than a GB. A TB equals exactly 1.000 GB.

Depends...
on terms of raw data 1 Terabyte is only 0,9 Tebibyte (or 931,3 Gibibyte). That's why pretty much everything marketed as "1TB HDD" has actually "less" space when viewed under windows.

[white_ghost]

No, it does not depend.
1 TB = 1 Terabyte = 1.000 GB = 1.000 Gigabyte

Windows is just wrong. Windows acutally shows the size in TiB, but it is labeled TB.

Nope, you might wanna look up the history of why stuff like Tebi actually exists.
tl:dr: Windows is right and people were too dump to understand that the next higher value starts at 1024 and not 1000.

You win, ♥♥♥♥ this game, I am out. :)
Can't wait for the first game to hit the 100GB barrier.

[white_ghost]

What you say is total ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. What I say is 100% correct.

Look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_prefix#List_of_SI_prefixes

I win ;)

Du meinst bestimmt dumb, also dumm, oder? Lass uns am besten auf Deutsch weiter schreiben, da du offensichtlich kein Englisch kannst.

Oh, and while we are here throwing around wikipedia articles:

Dude, the metric system means bugger all in binary in case you didn't notice. Which I assume, you didn't.
Here you go: "In the early days of computers (roughly, prior to the advent of personal computers) there was little or no consumer confusion because of the technical sophistication of the buyers and their familiarity with the products. In addition, it was common for computer manufacturers to specify their products with capacities in full precision.[39]

In the personal computing era, one source of consumer confusion is the difference in the way many operating systems display hard drive sizes, compared to the way hard drive manufacturers describe them. Hard drives are specified and sold using "GB" and "TB" in their decimal meaning: one billion and one trillion bytes. Many operating systems and other software, however, display hard drive and file sizes using "MB", "GB" or other SI-looking prefixes in their binary sense, just as they do for displays of RAM capacity. For example, many such systems display a hard drive marketed as "160 GB" as "149.05 GB". The earliest known presentation of hard disk drive capacity by an operating system using "KB" or "MB" in a binary sense is 1984;[40] earlier operating systems generally presented the hard disk drive capacity as an exact number of bytes, with no prefix of any sort, for example, in the output of the MS-DOS or PC DOS CHKDSK command."
Have fun being educated!

Danke, dass du mir jetzt doch zustimmst. Aus den Artikel geht ja ganz klar hervor, dass ich recht hab: 1000 kB kilobyte ; 1024 KiB kibibyte
