Is 90GB really necessary?

[Veles]

I understand game will take space, but 90GB? Isn't that bit too much? Mass Effect LE made me skeptical of even trying it because of 120 GB size. Seriously, can't developers compress files or do something similar to reduce the size? This has already gotten out of hand in this industry.

Honestly, depends on the amount of content.
From what reviewers are saying, it will be 20-25 hours long.

And the map seems big with quite a lot of interiors to explore. So, hopefully the game will be content packed.

However, yes, game sizes are getting larger every release, but I would gladly have larger installation size over slow load times which would have to do with uncompressing the files for every load region.

All of this, assuming that the game is full of unique content. All we can do is hope for the next 7 days lol

It's more like a business standard nowadays. Any huge release less than 50G could raise some eyebrows.

90GB is not that much for a game that comes out in 2023

The file size just means they used a lot of high resolution textures.

Simply put, same texture that is 700mb in 1080p resolution will be 3-4gb in 4k resolution.

Well, there goes all 24GB's of my VRAM..

I at least have 64GB's for the rest..

Haha, you should be fine. Game will probably end up using 12-15gb VRAMat 4k ultra and between 9-15gb of RAM.

I dunno man, Forspoken used up to 23GB and some MB's. these games are getting VRAM greedy, try Far Cry 6 all maxed with every bell and whistle, it hit 22GB's already as well.

True, just depends on how well the dev optimized the LoDs and what is kept in the RAM for swapping. Though forspoken and FC6 are just extremely resource hungry games due to poor optimization.

I mean, sure, but, because it's my rig, it's running insanely well. I am not having slowdowns, not having big ol' dips and stutters, the experience is quite pure. I think what you mean is, those without this rig, are gonna eat stutter butter, until they optimize it for the lower end cards and PC specs.

I doubt youll be able to run it properly with your 'RIG'' if you have allready issues with 90GB of space, lol.

Poor people shouldn't be gaming. You should be trying to stop being poor. If you can't afford at least a 1TB SSD, log off and improve your financial security.

Upgrade your hardware or delete all those games you don't play.
