DaS 1 was 3,7GB. DaS 2 SotFS was 18GB. What will they even put to make it 50GB?
How big was bloodborne?
Could just be the new engine bloating up the game
I've always thought that was a tjumbs up.
>>320511862
Uncompressed audio files of every common language.
Exactly like fucking Titanfall.
>>320512141
I think Bloodborne has the biggest size but is in reality short. What surprises me is that the requirements are almost the same as DaS 2 and that wasn't even a next gen game initially even tho it used the new engine.
>>320512175
You browse too much fan art
>50gb
50gb for a hastily ported console game with muddy textures
50gb for a game that will require multiple community-made patches to be useable
50gb of a last-gen game with higher res textures that still look like shit
50gb of linear memedungeons filled with random traps
Witcher 3 was 45GB and it's way bigger and looks better not to mention the audio/voice files....
Lmao.

Do you come from a version of the future in which people abandon The Witcher 3 for the sake of Dark Souls 3? If yes, fuck off. If not, you're retarded.
>2600k being the recommended.
Fugg , you had a good run old friend.
best cpu i have ever owned.
I just hope to max this with 60fps on a 280x
>>320512910
It's capped at 30 fps yo
>50GB
I hope this doesn't mean they'll skip on the physical release. Usually when games are that big they don't bother because they don't want to release whole DVD box worth of discs for one game. Or they go the "steam installer/only half the game on one DVD" route.
DaS 1 was 3,7GB and neatly fits on one DVD. Not even dual layer.
>50GB
Not sure how to feel about this.
On one hand it's unreasonable for a game as short and small as Souls games to be this big.
On the other hand, 50 GB is not very much when you have two separate 1TB drives.
those are the exact same reqs of SOTFS so Im not sure about the veracity of this, also you guys are bitching waaay to much about the 50 gigs, sure its lazy, but not that big of a deal.
>>320512987
>implying niggas won't hack it to run at 60.
fuck modern games
do I need a 10 terabyte hdd next
For about a decade games were around 6gig then all of a sudden they were 20-30gig and go up about 10 gig a year. What happened?
I can't see the requirements on the Steam page. was it taken away?
>>320513317
Blu-ray on the new consoles.
>>320513317
DVD made them get the game to under 8. Now blu ray has like 25 GB or something and you see tons of uncompressed audio and shit. Titanfall was like 50gb just because of multiple languages audio on pc.
>>320513149
I read it on a non English news site so I didn't include it in the OP. Several sites have reported on it in English I find in google. Their source seems to be the Steam page or something but I couldn't verify.
Dark Souls 3 supports 12 languages but only has English full audio so I don't think it's that. Unless it's uncompressed audio and a load of Cutscenes.
>>320512509
Gotta store all those low res tiling uncompressed textures somewhere.
>>320513149
Why isn't it a big deal? I'm fucking tired of my hard drive being cluttered with 40+ gig games. Not to mention the fact that I have to deal with shitty fucking data caps because my ISP is a scummy, corrupt piece of shit and I can't do anything about it since they're the only ISP in my area.
>>320513591
>>320513594
I understand 'Blu Ray' but is there some standards rule that says you have to fill the Blu Ray. Is there even any advantage? Current consoles load times are getting fucking shit compared to last gen and I wouldn't be surprised if bloated files is part of the problem.
However all the Souls games are 'blu-ray' yet we had 4 gig for 1, 22gig for 2 now 50gig for 3. Just seems like they themselves are wasting money or cutting into profits as this just looks like unnecessary bandwidth costs.
>>320513317
Usually people will say it's to discourage piracy but they forget people mostly buy digital on steam and even then most games don't come on physical for PC these days precisely because they don't fit on DVDs and you still have to download them.
So I have no idea. Maybe it's to entice people to buy console version which is more expensive and comes on Blu-Ray. Maybe it's a marketing tactic to make you think "Wow, 50GB? This must be massive and long" I remember I gave DaS 1 a shot because I wanted a quick short game and thought it being 3,7GB would mean it's 8 hours long or something. (how wrong I was I have 400 hours in it now.)
So what should my PC budget be to play that?
>>320514637
>is there some standards rule that says you have to fill the Blu Ray. Is there even any advantage?
No, it's just easier than taking shortcuts and compressing things to keep the size down. The other Souls games had to fit onto the 360 initially.
>>320512141
28gb
>50GB
FUCK
Ito not a problem hard drive space wise but that seems unnecessarily big.
>>320514791
Next to nothing really. Those are ancient specs in the mid to high tier. Low mid tier now.
Those are actually pretty reasonable specs if the game runs at 60 on PC. The 50 gig thing is kind of standard now and even xcom 2 is going to be about that size so I understand people not liking it but it's just how shit is now.
>>320513236
>implying animations and physics wont break at 60
>>320513317
To make it harder to pirate their games. You can thank Sony for the idea.
>>320514798
Why would they have to fit onto the 360? 360 had a policy that you had to design the game without a hard drive in mind as the original release didn't have one. It is why 360 games didn't install while PS3 ones did.
>>320512508
You can tell a person is a retard when they use ellipses like this twat over here............

Yeah, the piracy thing is bullshit unless you want to say they are making it harder to get the game on PC in general.
>Processor: AMD® FX 8150 3.6 GHz or Intel® Core™ i7 2600 3.4 GHz
dont believe their lies
>>320515096
They had to fit on a 360 disc.
>>320514706
Itself, the size isn't to discourage piracy. The only time that was the case was max payne 3, and it worked until the repacks/rips started.
Since then it's just laziness.
>>320515246
>not having a collection of old pc physical discs
>>320514930
killzone for ps4 was 290gb before compressing it to fit the blue ray.
idk what they're doing lately with file sizes, especially those 50gb of titanfall uncompressed audio, and audio for what? is a mp only game.
>mfw 15 year old children and autists pretend they can hear the difference between well compressed audio and a 24bit wav file on their astro gaming headsets

>>320515326

>>320515081
i'd better get a late repack instead of downloading it from steam at this point.
and im sure the pc retail wont contain the whole game
>>320511862

jesus christ nigger
why can't these fucking gooks compress audio files, it's not that fucking hard
Gaben was right, piracy originates in a service problem. I'm not saying I'm going to pirate DkS3, because I'm not, but if they offer ripped 5~10GB versions of the game why the fuck would people buy?
Holy shit.
The SotFS requirements are the exact fucking thing. Literally.
>>320515626

>>320515614

Soon Sony and Microsoft will probably step in because they want to shift towards downloads and it isn't going to happen if games are retarded sizes which I presume is the same on the console stores.
>>320515825
not just gooks. mind you titanfall, a multiplayer only game with no compain, has 50gb of audio files.
>>320515870

Thanks AMD. Plz fix your CPUs.
>>320516309
That just means it is really good audio. I mean bigger is better right?
>>320516309
Xcom 2 is also crazy high at 45gb
>>320515870
That's because it's the only build they test the PC version on to make sure it holds the same quality as the console version - as the recommended specs are probably as close as you can build to a PS4
You likely will not know options, how it looks or runs until it unlocks on Steam
It will be a 1:1 PS4 version, with a 30fps cap because it's the modified DaS1 engine that BB uses. Mark my words
I got gtx750 and i3-3240 and I bet I'll be able to run it at max settings
>>320516193
And that just further adds the mountain of bs that came after the fact of playing thru Das2. So many let downs for anotherwise decent game
>>320516621
Highly doubt they'd limit it to 30 on PC, they know people on there want 60 and PC is there second biggest audience.
>>320516602
What? There is no excuse for that, it isn't even coming to console.
>>320514954
What the fuck does this meaannnn
>>320516786
if the engine breaks physics and animations at 60 they wont bother recoding it
>>320517108
The minimum specs is hardware from 2009~2011.
>>320512206
Why do people still use uncompressed? At least use .wav or fucking .aiff.

>>320515073
>implying the implications of what I was implying to you
So where was it proven that it's going to be 30 fps cap on pc?
>>320517461
It's not, just a few sony shitposters.
>>320511862
It will be the biggest blunder of the year 2016
Mark my words
>>320517358
No, it's people not limited by file sizes anymore. Blu-ray and huge HDD's on consoles now allow for discs that can hold way more than 8 GB.
>>320517343
no. bb engine is a modified version of ds1
>>320516786
>>320516621
Myiazaki already said that he's aiming for 30fps on all platforms, including PC.
>>320517323
They've stated many times they aren't PC developers and as far as consoles go they aren't good optimizers either. Hell, playing multiplayer on Bloodborne regularly drops the framerate to like 20.
From makes fucking great games that look amazing but their coding is not the best.
>>320517108
The recommended CPU is so old you probably can't find it new. The recommended GPU costs well bellow a hundred bucks for the Nvidia one but I bet they made a mistake and meant 750 ti which is exactly $100 I think.
I know what you wanted to hear. That you need a $1000 PC so that you can use it as shitposting. Too bad for you a PC like that would cost less than a PS4. Bummer.
>>320517343
Yes. A downgraded version since they had to make it run on PS3/Xbox360.
>>320517551
The game in question isn't coming to consoles.
>>320511862
>minimum required AMD CPU performs significantly better than the recommended CPU
When will people realize that the marketing jackass who types up these recommendations has nothing to do with development?
>>320518017
Oh, whoops. Thought we were still talking about DaS3.
Even so PC-specific games tend to have higher file sizes simply because they don't have to worry about space.
>>320511862
>Recommended HD 7850
>From non-port p.c. optimization

>>320512141
>new engine
Literally the same requirements as SotFS.
>>320518416
Dark Souls 2 is the only game to use that engine, thank Christ.
>>320517563
Do you have source for this?
>>320512175
>>320518048
Absolutely true. There is this thing obviously that developers have to always put an i7 as recommended CPU as part of some agreement with Intel I assume. No game uses hyper-threading so any equivalent i5 will work just as fine but they have to push i7 for marketing to gamers and make it look better.
When the CPU requirements are SO LOW they have to use an ancient i7 for the recommended spec like in this case in order to fulfill the always an i7 as recommended rule. It's bullshit. As the 8GB RAM minimum is bullshit and other stuff too.
>>320517563
>bb engine is a modified version of ds1
no, it isn't. they certainly didn't reuse the das1 engine while moving to x86 platforms.
>>320518526

>>320512460
>>320518503
Yes, play the fucking game.

No, its clearly the same as the DeS/DaS1 engine.

>>320518907
>a new engine can't replicate the physics etc of an older engine
game logic can be fully dissociated from the engine. they did not reuse old engines for bloodborne, bloodborne has deferred rendering and runs on an x86 platform. it is simply ignorant to suggest they reused, shows you don't understand software design or the differences in the platforms.
>>320519195
Good lord, give it a rest.
>>320518907
>>320519360
Holy shit you autists Bloodborne runs on an upgraded version of the Phyre engine, which DaS1 and DaS2 use, and DaS3 will use. There are no different engines, they're just upgraded with each souls game.
>>320517167
>>320517323
This wasn't the case for DaS1 and 2. Why would it be the case for BB/DaS3?
>>320516152
At 20-30fps sure.
That being said, Miyazaki took the time to assure his devotees that the third "Dark Souls" title will not be a clone of that acclaimed title. To him, the two games may share elements, but they use them in opposite ways. "Where 'Bloodborne' rewarded aggression, 'Dark Souls,' conversely, rewards patience." He even mentioned that his testers purposefully tried to play "Dark Souls 3" in a "Bloodborne" style to make sure the two gameplay experiences diverged from one another.
>>320518801
>>320518907
"But on to the news: judging by Google's mangled attempt to translate the interview, it seems that Dark Souls II will be running on a "new graphics engine" that Shibuya helped build internally at From Software. It's unclear whether the new engine will affect gameplay, but Shibuya seems to stress that the game's graphics will benefit the most from it. He mentions some middleware is still in use as well, though doesn't seem to get into specifics."

http://kotaku.com/5970754/dark-souls-ii-runs-on-a-brand-new-engine/
Why do you make me cite shitty clickbait sites you fucking contrarian. Sony + From Soft developed a new engine for Bloodborne at the same time as DaS 2 and DaS 3 development. They downgraded it and used it for DaS2 and now supposedly will use the full next gen version for DaS3.
DeS and DaS use the Phyre engine which was again developed by Sony I think so it's similar. Don't know if From had a hand in Phyre.

It's a new meme devs are doing just take a look at late 2013 and then look at 2014 and you'll see a big increase in overall game sizes and it's mostly uncompressed audio and cutscenes
>>320520201
it's true though
you can run through every game with high dex and end and just button mash and you win
>>320520237
Yep. It's to simulate "next gen" although both "next gen" and previous gen used blu-ray not all games were 30GB back in 7th gen, only a few were even that size. Now everything has to be bigger because we are "Next Gen" now when in reality we entered "2011 PC hardware gen" and 2011 games were definitely not 50GB even on PC.

I'm all for 50GB games if there is a respectable reason for it to be that size like pure high quality game content.
