DOOM's preload is now available on steam for those of you who pre-ordered it, and I've already started mine but;
>52gb
How in the fuck could they make the game this big?

Nice burger internet
Megatextures (32000x32000 and upwards textures) and uncompressed audio
>>337241241
uncompressed audio a lot
i thought ID didn't used megatextures anymore
>>337241160
Think again, motherfucker.I really don't know how steam's expected download speed always estimates around 1-2mb/s, when I usually have 6-8mb/s
>>337241241
Megatextures probably aren't in the game, but it's likely that the "almost every asset should be unique" idea has still carried on from previous idtech5 games and that's where a lot of the space is going.

Mind giving an uninformed lad a tl;dr on what entails uncompressed audio?
Did they skip compressing it because they're lazy or was it necessary for the final product?
>>337242697
Uncompressed is always going to be higher quality than compressed in some way, but I'm guessing that's less the reason and it's more about them being able to get away with not compressing since speeds and hard drive space aren't as much of an issue this gen as previously and compression could cause noticeable drops in audio quality if handled poorly.
>>337240975
why?
>>337240905
Because they are using their ebin megatextures again
>>337242697
because of consoles. not even a joke.
uncompressing shit on the fly takes cpu power, and they'd rather use the cpu on whatever else (since consoles have such low cpu power), so nothing is compressed anymore. and PC gets ports.
>>337243246
Because they're poor and trying to find a reason to disparage technology that is undeniably better than what it replaces purely because they can't afford it.

But ssds arent even that expensive anymore

Enjoy your uncompressed audio in eight different languages you can't choose not to download

Day one pirate.
>>337243681
Ones with a lot of storage space are.
>>337241443
It's because steam asks for your default download speed when you install it cuck
>>337244114
No they arent, price per gb is higher the smaller it is
>>337244332
A 2TB SSD is about ten times more expensive than a 2TB HDD is and you need a decent amount of space for modern gaming. What the fuck else can you fault SSDs on beyond being expensive for a lot of space? They're undeniably the better technology for data that needs to be stored and retrieved quickly.
>>337245323
Nobody was comparing the price of hdd to ssd are you retarded
>playing console games on pc
Every time and pretty game comes out there is always this same thread.
Just stop making it and adjust your expectations.
>>337240905
This just indicates that it will be a terrible PC port
>>337243357
>>337246558
>CPU will be used less to decompress things and can be used on stuff that really matters
But ohh noo the filesize! Lessening the performance cost is the surefire sign of a bad port!

I seriously doubt Doom will be CPU-heavy, or performance-intensive at all besides the "ultra nightmare" setting they threw in, it runs at 1080p/60 on consoles.

Looks like id tech is doing something right

Fucking dropped
