That’s not the size of just shadowkeep, that includes everything that’s out right now plus some other stuff they’ll add between now and shadowkeep release. It’s still be all considering but as of now the game is about 90GB

come on nitro. this is N4G - people aren't interested in truth and"making sense. LOL

Nitrowolf22466d ago (Edited 2466d ago )

More so towards the writer here
“Destiny 2 Shadowkeep will require 165 GB of hard disk space, which makes it one of the biggest game launches of its time. It is still an expansion to the base game but if you buy it right now, it is going to be a long download before you can install it on your platform.”

And a lot of the times PS4 listed file size =|= the download size, just the require space it needs due to unpacking and deleting the previous files.
Example: Forsaken is listed as needing 144GB opened space, but when everything said and done the game is only about 90GB,

The requirements is listed so there’s enough room to unpack it, it’s just how the PS4 works for these things. It’s why in a lot of cases games are needing double the size compared to pc and Xbox (look at the division 2).

But can you get it without the majority of the size though?
This is why you need to avoid article titles.

Butters3602466d ago

Nice. 68GB for just the expansion. Sitting at 95.8GB right now.

This article is stupid. It won't take that much. 165 is just the extra free space it needs for the download/install process. Forsaken said it required something like 140gb of free space, but once it was installed it only took up 90gb.

So yeah, it may need that space for the installation, but once that's done it won't take up anywhere near that much space.

Yup I heard the same thing when the first games went into the "hundreds of megabytes", "gigabytes", and "10's of gigabytes".

Reality is that games will continue to grow as the worlds and graphics resolutions grow. Drive space will continue to grow and everyone will forget about this in a few years.

Honestly Thank Goodness!! Yet another good sign of a possibility of returning to what made them great and undoing Jim Tyans trend chasing love service gamble. Still gotta wait and see just what direction they're going but this is a good sign in my book that they're not betting it all on live service anymore

S2Killinit94d ago (Edited 94d ago )

Not sure what you lot are talking about anymore. They need to cover all range of games. Im primarily a single player gamer, but even I cannot be daft enough to ignore the fact that we need all manner of games including live service games. Everyone here seems to be a market expert.

isarai_lee94d ago (Edited 94d ago )

Yes "all manner" not just exclusively live service like Jim was doing, but you also shouldn't be forcing devs to make games they not only have no experience making, but also flatout dont want to do.

S2Killinit94d ago

Assuming that anything like that is actually the case and not just a perception of n4g commenters of course.

I don't understand why you people have to keep making up lies. You can say you don't like some or most of their focus being on live service games, but to say they were exclusively focusing on live service games is pure copium. At most half of their games were live service and the rest were single player games. Seriously why lie about something so obvious?

isarai_lee93d ago

@Redemption-64

You say that as if we don't have word directly from Jim Ryan and PlayStation stating they wanted at least 12 live service games released within a year. Followed by tons of official word of those Live Service games being cancelled after he was pushed out. All studios combined at the time PS had 15 studios, 12 is a hell of a lot more than half of 15, and it was definitely their primary focus evident by the fact that a huge portion of their studios have taken uncharacteristically long to release or announce anything since, hell some studios have yet to release anything this gen almost 6 YEARS LATER! The only one making stuff up is you.

It may take a while but maybe they are finally learning. Good! Now stop with the live service crap.

ABizzel194d ago

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a live service here or there, but to have many of your studios start focusing on it when there has been little to no experience among them was wild.

Christopher94d ago (Edited 94d ago )

They say this and then immediately release news of the Horizons co-op game that will definitely be a Live Service game.

isarai_lee94d ago

I feel like they knew that given the fact that the very furst thing they say in the trailer is to reassure they still make so games 😆

Bet they're regrettings spending those billions pretty hard right now.

S2Killinit94d ago

Destiny has been a huge success.

Redemption-6493d ago

They will not. Destiny has been popular for over 10 years, something most games can never hope to achieve. Most people, including myself those Bungie was going to make a D3 after the final shape DLC. Marathon looks to be a hit and a D3 announcement could break records.
