oh FUCK YEAH 25 gigs of pre-rendered cut scenes! what a marvelous advance in technology.
>>322601779
what games still do prerendered cutscenes? final fantasy?
>>322601895
Uncharted and TLOU use in-engine but prerendered cutscenes to help hide loading times and do things that would probably tank performance on actual hardware, but at least they bothered to render it out at the same resolution as the rest of the game with a nice high bitrate.
I remember Wolfenstein TNO having awful 720p ones that looked like shit on PC.
>>322601895
I played Shadow of Mordor and Evil Within recently and they both clocked in at 40+ gig downloads because of cutscenes.
>>322601895
shitloads do, you can tell when they kick in because its playing a shitty low bitrate movie file at 29 fps.
>>322601895
Yeah
XIII had 36gb of lossless high quality CGI and prerendered in-engine full motion videos in one language only
The full game was about 41gb on ps3
If you have access to a 50gb dual layer blu ray you might as well fill it up
>Skyrim: 11gb
>GtaV: 60+ gb
Did games get 6 times as big in 3 years?
Or did devs just stop compressing for fucks sake?
>>322602261
FF doesn't
If you play on ps3 you don't notice anything because it's lossless compression
On pc you do because of lower rez and fps and on the x360 you do because it's lossy compression

Skyrim is more like ~6 GB on PC without its DLC and high resolution textures. It's not too surprising since the rather low quality assets would be reused over and over.
Why do the PC games still ship in DVD disks?
That shit is retarded.
I mean cmon game publishers. Use BluRay already. it's 2016.

A huge huge majority of PC's don't have anything they can use to play a Bluray disc.
You combine this with your everyday person who who doesn't look at the back of the box to check shit and the fact that NO stores let you return or tradein PC games and you can easily see why Devs and publishers don't use bluray.
Plus over half the modern PC games I buy is just a Steam installer on a disc so it would be a waste to use Blurays
>>322602827
>Blu-ray is owned by Sony
>People really rarely use optical disk today, for everything
>>322603174
It's make sense since the transition from 2D to 3D. Early PS2 games are still about the same as PS1 games (about 800 MB - to 1 GB), and early PS3 games are the same as late PS2 games (about 2 GB - 5 GB).

I was also contemplating buying Max Payne 3 because that shit takes weeks for me to download.
>>322603895
They could've also compressed them and made those movies less than 5GB. You'd basically notice the difference.
Titanfall is 60GB of uncompressed audio. Don't ask me why.
>>322603391
7th gen was way too fucking long and pc games were already way beyond the 8gb limit from the x360
Couple that with a bunch of devs already making 50gb games since they were supported for the ps3
However there are exceptions to games getting bigger
>MGS4 26 GB in 2008
>MGSV 25 GB in 2015
It's mostly super high quality assets
>higher rez textures
>flac audio
>1080p prerendered fmvs
And obviously lack of compression
>>322603895
Bad example
Rising has indeed about 20 GB of fmvs in a total game size of about 25 GB
But the prerendered fmvs use in game assests only for background stuff, as character models are highee quality with a much better LoD and they use a much more complex lighting system which in very noticeable in the shift from fmv to gameplay
Also they might run at 30fps but I don't remember

>>322605240
That's mainly for DOWNLOAD size, though. Unpakced game usually comes down to the same size unless they ripped out other languages or downscaled pre-rendered videos. I have no idea why developers can't into proper compression. Is it problem with commercial application of compression methods or something?

I'm not some Luddite, if the games were significantly better looking or longer I could see the reason, but while most games look a little better than their ~2GB counterparts they certainly don't look so much better as to justify the increased download times.
It's bloat, right? they've just given up optimising things, haven't they?

Kek. How would that work? Many games these days force you to download the files from something like Origin or Steam anyway, even if you do buy the disc. If. Because most people go for download regardless of if they pirate or not..
How would a 60g torrent scare a pirate over a 60g Steam or Origin download?

That is actually what it does. Source: I own the game. It's in a compressed archive for downloading but then it unpacks to fully uncompressed during installation. The devs' reason was that uncompressed audio is less trouble for the CPU and they wanted to do everything they could for players on less than top of the line hardware to enjoy a smooth game.
>>322609229
Isn't that pretty small
>>322604771
Ever played GTAV? You can probably notice it from a youtube video but they did some serious compression with the audio files to a point I wish the install size was even bigger because the audio quality is genuinly bad. Or at least optional dlc for higher quality audio files.

>>322606713
>>322614205

Why don't developers just upload prerendered cutscenes to Youtube and stream them to the game instead of having the player install huge video files that will probably only be seen once?

Holy christ that's misinformed. Unless you have a source that backs that up, then the ratio is still 37GB of audio ontop of the game itself being 13GB, being 50GB total, unless the DLC and updates somehow added a shit ton of audio it still be pretty close to those numbers
How do games weight 40+ GB nowadays?

Compression isn't about being lazy it's about either sacrificing quality or system resources. If you compress audio there's no decompression. The information is lost. As far as unpacking compressed files that takes up ram
>>322602827
Blu-ray license costs
Blu ray drives are relatively rare compared to DVD
Windows still can't play Blu Ray out of box and there isn't a free software that does it (because of blu ray licensing)
