Foreboding news, my friends...
Dark Souls III is just 18.2 GB in digital size. For the record, Bloodborne was 25.3 GB.
This is not looking good. Will the game suffer from lack of content? It does seem a bit rushed, judging by the trailers and the huge marketing push for the already planned DLC.
>>331524548
Less cutscenes
>>331524643
That usually means less number of bosses and Bloodborne already had few of those. And it's not like they'll be as good as the BB ones, since the 4 we've already seen look pretty bland.
>>331524548
How do you play the game with only japan text? Srsly I'm thinking about buying the jp version but fuck translating everything not going through this shit.
Why the fuck is it 50GB on pc?
>>331524745
I found the Bloodborne bosses a bit craps. Some cool designs but not many, and largely easy. I'm not planning to get DS3 on release anyway.
I was thinking of grabbing either Infamous bundle or TLOU remastered. Has anyone got a recommendation? Thinking Infamous as it has an expansion and some colours.
>>331524925
You can't go wrong with TLOU. Infamous sucks imo.
>>331524925
They're mostly better then DeS/DkS bosses.
>>331524548
That means it's compressed better you fucking fool
>>331524917
It's probably not. In the past it's been used as a placeholder figure.
Probably due to shit like OP's speculation.
>>331524795
It's dark souls. The only problem you'd have would be getting an item that's needed to open something or whatever.
Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the first sin is 18.5gigs. What exactly are you afraid it is missing?
>>331524917
Other language files and per-rendered cutscenes at different resolutions most likely.
>>331524795
You just miss the lore, playing the game is really easy other than that. The lore in the Souls franchise is shit now anyways, because DaS II ruined it.
>>331524917
hi res textures
>>331525035
Dark Souls 2 had only last gen assets, though. This has considerably larger assets and yet is smaller. Not good. Not good.
>>331525035
Think logical, retard. DaRKS2 had shit graphics and long gameplay. DaRK3 has good graphics... think the rest dumbass
>>331524548
Maybe it's compressed because it's a download.
>>331524795
Every stat in the game has icons telling you what it is anyway. I guess you miss out of the "lore" but that's about it.
>>331525087
>>331525034
Whats with armor/weapon/item description.
>>331525168
>>331525154
Not seen anything of ds3 yet. But i doubt it is going to magically have everything be of higher quality.
>>331525250
Actually looking at the trailers on the steam page, it looks pretty much like DS2 did before they decided that proper lighting wasn't needed.
>>331525168
Bloodborne had 9gb of patches only. Make the math.
>>331525168
>Souls games
>good graphics
They're mostly average.
>>331524795
>loss
Holy shit
>>331525367
>mfw DaS2 looks like that one bait picture of The Order
They did not forget the visual flare. They forgot something important
>>331524548
>ps4 ds3 is 18GB
lower res textures, console graphics etc.
Also lower filesize does not automatically = less game. Less unique textures per area perhaps but you can make good, big levels without a huge number of different textures.
Better compression
>>331525003
This
Seriously how the fuck is 18GB file size bring perceived as a bad thing
Blunder of the century confirmed. Probably explains the N64 graphics.
>>331525168
>DaRKS
Stop that.
>2 days 16hrs 26mins
DELETE THIS
Does not include the almost 10gb day 1 patch. No chalice dungeons.
>>331524548
Are you sure it's not because they coded the graphics in .webm instead of .gif?
>>331524548
Most of the size of a modern game comes from cgi cutscenes and uncompressed audio.
>>331525504
>>331525543
It looks like nothing when seen out of context, but looks terrible in comparison to Bloodborne. How is that hard to understand? That game was released a year ago and it was bigger.
>no Japanese Voices in English version
How does sony get away with this?
Where are the weebs when you need them?
ITT: Autists that dont understand download sizes go down as time goes on due to Better compression.
>>331525764
>Japanese Voices
>Souls games
-10/10.
>>331525721
Multiplatform game + PS4 designed game engine + From Software.
I've had weeks of fun with games less than 10 gigs. This is an issue for the mustards to cry over.
>>331525721
>Looks terrible compared to Bloodborne
They look basically the same in terms of graphical fidelity. Textures, lighting, models, etc etc, are all on par with each other.
TW3 is only 25gb and is one of the largest games to date with graphics far better than Dark Souls 3.
Judging a game and the amount of content it has based on the install size is retarded.
>>331525773
>ITT: Autists that dont understand download sizes go down as time goes on due to Better compression.
Literally never happened.
>>331525773
>download sizes go down as time goes on due to Better compression.
But that isn't true, download size have increased at a steady rate over the years.
Filesize has nothing to do with game length or content, you dumb nigger.
PTDE was a whooping 4GB.
>>331525802
Bloodborne has Nip VA you know.
>>331524643
I'm pretty sure Bloodborne had maybe 10 minutes of cutscenes over the entire game.
And cutscenes have no baring on file size, they are just gameplay without control and fancy camera angles. Only prerendered cutscenes use up heaps of space, and considering DaS3 has a multi-minute CGI intro and Bloodborne didn't your point makes no sense.
>>331524548
>super tempted to get the jap version so I can minimize spoilers and play it 3 weeks earlier
I fucking hate Bamco for this
>>331526012
Yeah, added 8 months after release.
It's probably because it's graphically of a lower standard than BB is. BB had Sony themselves backing it so they were allowed to push the hardware with better graphics which use more space. DaS3 was obviously made with multiplat in mind (all of the demos at events haven been on Xbones) so of course they're not putting as much of a focus on graphics.
Also BB used an actual orchestral recording for its songs, whereas DaS3 didn't so they're of a lesser quality and therefore don't take up as much space.
>>331526162
>minimize spoilers
You have yourself to blame, it's much MUCH easier to avoid spoilers than you think. I'm autistic as fuck and all I have to do is not go to spoiler heavy places. If I can do it, you can too.
babbies dont know what compression is
A smaller file size does not mean there's less content you retards, there's this thing called compression which shitloads of devs have skimped out on lately to "dissuade pirates"
Dark Souls 1 is barely a 7 gb download on pc and look how fucking long it is.
>>331526276
>tfw will avoid this shit board for 3 weeks straight
>>331526321
There are other shit boards full of angry faggots, you can go to /tv/ for a while. I like /pol/ and /ck/, too.
>Muh compression
Kek you faggots will do anything to defend DaS, won't you? It's gonna be a small game. I'm thinking maybe only slightly bigger than DaS1 in terms of area content. Remember to buy that season pass though, don't wanna miss out on the rest of the game at a premium ;)
Ps4 only preloads the front portion of the game. It's enough to get you started. Once the game comes out, it dls the rest.
So you'll be getting the other 30 gigs while playing the first areas
>>331526367
They move so much slower than here its silly, I avoided spoilers for BB because it was like a week tops. 3 weeks of avoiding the internet wholesale is fucking ridiculous. I wouldn't be surprised if shit started showing up later today considering the jap release will probably leak.
>>331526276
My new job doesn't start until the 1st of April so I'm flush with free-time. Makes avoiding spoilers a real cunt when you don't have anything better to do.
>>331526606
>Makes avoiding spoilers a real cunt when you don't have anything better to do.
So find something else to do, god damn.
>>331526410
DaS wasn't a small game though
>>331526410
How desperate are you shitposters?
See
>>331525856
Also Skyrim is only around 10gb and also one of the largest games ever made. It also has comparable graphics to Dark Souls 3.
>>331526312
DaS1 is like twenty hours at a jog.
>>331526701
Can't really spend a ton of money and I burn through books and other media really fast. Its always easier said than do to "Just do other stuff"
The season pass will solve all content issues.
>>331526704
It is. It suffers from that thing of feeling quite big on your first playthrough, but on a subsequent one you definitely notice how small a lot of the areas are.
>>331527020
There are MILLENNIA worth of books for you to read and tons of movies and tv shows. You can occupy your idiot brain for three weeks, apply yourself.
>>331526765
>Skyrim has comparable graphics to DaS3
>>331524643
dumbass
cutscenes are made with in game graphics
>>331527079
>J-just do it!
>>331527174
Are you having a stroke?
>>331524548
>spoilers are already leaking
>22 days before release in the US
Fuck
>>331525856
Xenoblade X was also huge as shit with a lot of sound and fits on a 22.5gb disc
This thread is just another of those made up problema to justify shitposting as souls thread always are
Why is the PC version 50 gigs then?
>>331527451
Tightened up those graphics on level 3
>>331527451
Uncompressed audio
>>331525567
has it been confirmed the game has no random dungeons?
>>331525187
>People bothering with compression nowadays
Good one, anon.
Once bigger HDDs became a thing for consoles the care for compression dropped for all platforms and now 20-30gb+ is a standard size for anything but indie games. (Granted there are some exceptions when it comes to indie gaems too)
>>331527451
uncompressed 4k YOU DIED message in 100 languages
>>331525046
>pre-rendered cutscenes at different resolutions
Do they actually do this? I always feel like they just render them at 720p or 1080p because sometimes they look blurry as fuck if I'm running at a higher resolution
>>331525168
>DaRKS
What?
>>331527451
Uncompressed audio to deter people from pirating. They assume everyone in games is a lazy faggot who would pay and download something 18GB than spend a little bit extra time downloading something that is 50GB.
>>331525567
You didn't need to patch the game for Chalice Dungeons, you could do them all right from the get go without ever patching. In fact the largest patch for Bloodborne which even contains the DLC is only around 10GB, and that includes all the bug patches, the vial/bullets count patch, the DLC patch, etc.
>>331527912
Because there won't be a repack on the first day right
>>331525721
DaS3 looks exactly like Bloodborne without the night filter. EXACTLY.
And how do you know it was bigger? Bloodborne is one of the tiniest souls games.
With the OST leaked, we can safely assume the game has as many bosses as Bloodborne pre-DLC.
Also, there's already gameplay out, and the first real area in the game seems to be really fucking large. Unless the game does a Demon Ruins/Lost Izalith, this is going to be a 30 hour game at least.
>>331527607
With my SNES controller
>>331526904
Think 60
>>331527912
But paying customers also still have to DL 50 gigs regardless.
>>331524917
because it comes with 100 kleenex boxes so cucks can wipe thair tears when they drop a frame.
>>331524548
The Steam version is 50GB. Enjoy your downgraded textures and audio quality.
