[caffeware]

lighting consumes everything

the file sizes on the maps i'm working on right now are like 50 gigs each

Does unreal engine gives a native way to compress such data?

 

[hemo memo]

Have they heard of compression?

 

[Tesseract]

Does unreal engine gives a native way to compress such data?

yep, there's plenty of quality optimization parameters and tools for compression

 

[Barakov]

That 2tb external that I hooked up continues to earn its' keep.

 

[ULTROS!]

So is Midgar gonna be open world-ish and will the game have loads of uncompressed cutscenes?

 

[The Pleasure]

Two Blu rays? What the fuck Square. Where's the third one? You're cheaping out. I demand this game be put on THREE discs just like the original Final Fantasy VII.

 

[hemo memo]

Oh ok I get it now. SE puts no compression what so ever so if they lose the source code which they will eventually, they can just get the retail version.

 

[Spukc]

What a bunch of bullshit.

Netflix uses up 7GB an HOUR for 4k content.
Yet this game is 100GB plus?

I guess devs really fucking hate compression.
Cause will all know ofc.. higher number = better

Can't wait for the spam to reach neogaf.
Ff7 remake will take 200+ hours to 100%

Wasn't the newest Call of Duty around 100gb and that's just some linear shooter (well maybe that includes the mp maps but still)?

 

[Esppiral]

70GB of prerrendered movies.

 

[@gkTH]

OMG.. with my PS4 Pro 500GB model.

 

[ExpandKong]

Wowee nearly 100x the data size of the game it’s based on and will tell less than (roughly) 1/8 its story

what a time to bee alive

 

[magnumpy]

good 100GB is a start but file sizes will need to drastically increase if graphics are ever going to be taken to the next level. or we can just play nitando switch game for the rest of time, that's ok too

 

[Jigsaah]

wait...for the first episode? Or the whole game?

 

[Darkmakaimura]

wait...for the first episode? Or the whole game?

This game which is basically the first episode.

100gb for "disc one".

Yup.

 

[Dacon]

70GB of prerrendered movies.

I hope not, I want most of the cutscenes to be realtime, that way we can see our DLC costumes(I bet you this will happen) in scene.

 

[sunnysideup]

3 discs and a double jewel case bitches.

 

[D.Final]

It will be interesting to see how big, at GB level, the entire Final Fantasy VII Remake project will be.
(I think it could even exceed 350 Gb)

Hype

 

[Mista]

I’m pretty sure thats the required HDD space and not the game size. Its a joke if ONE episode is actually 100GB

Just like RDR2 it required space like this one but the game ended up less. Its still a joke..

 

[Hostile_18]

Makes you wonder about next gen hard drives rumoured to be 1tb SSD... that's like what 9 games at any one time.

 

[bigol]

More than 70% of those 100 Gb is really high quality CGI.

This game which is basically the first episode.

100gb for "disc one".

Yup.

When the time comes in 202X the final game releases it will reach 1 TB.

 

[Hostile_18]

To be fair if it is high quality cinematics what other choice do they have. A lower bit rate than what the gameplay is would terrible.

 

[Terenty]

I very much doubt this game will have the same amount of content, animations, textures, models etc etc as Rdr 2.

So yeah, cgi cinematics most likely

 

[xrnzaaas]

They should make high quality cinematics an optional download. I'm currently playing Erica and I wouldn't mind a version with lower quality vids so it wouldn't weigh over 40GB.

 

[01011001]

I barely buy any PS4 or Xbox One or any current gen games due to this shit.

the Xbox One doesn't have this issue tho. there you download a patch and it's done

 

[Spukc]

Wasn't the newest Call of Duty around 100gb and that's just some linear shooter (well maybe that includes the mp maps but still)?

150GB

 

[Birdo]

Lets party like it's last gen.

 

[diffusionx]

That makes me wonder. 15 was a full open world game, full of side quests and so on, so, what did they add in this first part that makes it be almost as big as 15 in filesize? As far as we know, it's only midgar, wich isnt a huge part of the original, this also makes me wonder how much "filler" they put in this first part to make it seem like a full final fantasy on it's own.

Do we know it's only Midgar? That is what people have been assuming, because it's a natural stopping point in the original's story. However, this game is making massive changes up and down, and they've already shown off non-Midgar portions. Square also hasn't talked about future episodes at all.

 

[Quezacolt]

Do we know it's only Midgar?

Yes, since last year
Final Fantasy 7 Remake's first episode just covers Midgar: "To do the whole story was going to be huge"

 

[hunthunt]

Unsurprising.

Aparently they are voicing every random interactive dialogue in the game, crazy stuff.

Confirmed by Kitase several times.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake's first episode just covers Midgar: "To do the whole story was going to be huge"

The Final Fantasy 7 Remake developers are still deciding how to do the rest

www.gamesradar.com

"At that point, we decided we're going to focus this game on Midgar and what happened in Midgar. And unfortunately, we can't say anything more about the future games after that, because we don't know ourselves, really. We really are still fleshing out that process and fleshing out what we're going to do for the second game in the project, and what kind of story is going to be in that, so we really can't tell you."

Most modern RPGs have full voice acting now TBF.

Seems weird needing to do this in multiple parts because "it's too big a game" only to exponentially increase a 6 hour segment to a game in its own right.

It has to be about the money. SE has never been about telling a complete story in one game/medium for many, many years now due to how much they can get out of their fanbase.

Fingers crossed the story blows our mind anyway

 

[TheWanderingOgre]

Placeholder.

Shenmue III said the same.

It was actually less than 40GB.

I could believe that if it weren't on the box.

The 100gb also could be taking saves, future dlc, etc into consideration.

 

[stranno]

Black Ops III complete already was a 100GB installation.

And Max Payne 3 was a 35GB installation in 2012.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

I pray for the users of yee old base gloss model of the Ps4..

 

[wolywood]

And this is why cloud based game streaming will continue to gain in momentum

Have they heard of compression?

Of course they have! Final Fantasy VIII's time compression wasn't just for drama it was a guide on how to speed up the downloads of future remakes.

Ultra HD Blu-ray Movie 4K
2 HOUR use 50-100GB

 

[Spukc]

So? It's the same BS barely any compression.

 

[IAmLegendary]

Il wait for the complete edition

 

[killatopak]

Could be different audio languages for the games and the FMV. I remember FFXIII had inflated file size on PC because of different videos for each langauge.
