Probably poorly optimized or intentionally large like most AAA games nowadays.

What the fuck is even with audio/sound files? Is there like, a reason that they can't be compressed more?

Cope is real

>shittons of uncompressed audio
>shittons of uncompressed pre-rendered not-in-engine cutscene video files
>shittons of uncompressed overly large textures that literally nobody cares if they are 720p or 4k

Gears of war are something about 110 gb and rdr2 100 gb

Sound is a complex thing involving infinite variations of wave frequencies. Images are just a grid of colored dots.

not really, no. there is barely any noticeable difference between properly compressed audio files and lossless audio files other than the filesize.
even if you have golden ears, you probably don't have the audio equipment necessary to notice any decrease in quality.

since 'lossless audio' never really gets advertised as a feature by publishers, i'd assume skipping compression just saves a lot of time/money.

This is a lie spread by people who don't have trained ears for music.

80 gigs isn't "big" in an era where EA and Sqeenix are putting out games that are 120+ gigs.
I don't think it has 4K textures but if there are then once again the Poles have proven themselves to be absolute fucking technowizards, unlike Todd's 4K texture packs which are like 50 gigs standalone DLC.

left looks better though

Textures aren't the only source of bloat.
There's also uncompressed audio files for every language instead of only your main language, and uncompressed video files for pre-rendered cutscenes.

Usually open world game/game with streaming use uncompressed asset. Decompress compressed asset on the fly can be surprisingly slow.

Gears of War 4 is 140 GB

I have no fucking words.

How much of that is completely preventable bloat? (uncompressed audio for every language, uncompressed video files for pre-rendered cutscenes, uncompressed textures that are 4k for no reason)

Not okay and fuck every dev that does this.

Feels good.

I'm gonna make a game with one 8x8 pixel level and fill it with 400GB of encrypted junk data so people will market my game as the BIGGEST GAM EVARRRRRRRRR

I'm extremely looking forward to this game, preordered the super special edition on PS4 as well as preordered the standard game on GOG so I could have all the kitsch shit, give the PS4 copy to a friend maybe, all that said, is absolutely right, filesizes mean nothing these days, and even if it did mean something world size wise still wouldn't matter to me. The biggest open worlds are the most insufferably boring games to play through, like the Just Cause games. I'll take a game with depth of detail in a smaller area over one with a massive map and nothing to fucking do in it any day.

Considering theres games that match or go past that in their current state, unchanged. Battlefield 4 with all dlc hits just at 80, Destiny 2 is like 90 something right now only to go up when shadowkeep drops. Assass creed nigger edition is like 70 or 80 something too iirc. It's not that big of a deal

Even a shallow as fuck cyberpunk city will obviously need more fucking assets than the empty low-fantasy plane of TW3.

Why is file size a borderline marketing gimmick now?

1. It deters piratefags (lel muh seeders and 100kbps downloads)
2. Loseless audio (godtier flac files? sign me up!)
3. better textures and graphics (more polygons, more realistic)

sounds good to me.

>uncompressed audio files
This meme has to stop.

western devs artificially inflate the install sizes of their games to physically push out other games on a customers hard drive

Tell that to people downloading SANIC_HEGEHOD 5TH EDITION. Retarded argument that was never true. People will seed the fuck out of it at launch and max out your download speed.

piratefags get the repack which cuts out all the bullshit while paying customers are stuck downloading it all
