105GB install size, PS4 gets content 30 days early.

Good thing I got some more bandwith the other day, but now I'm thinking of getting an external SSD :stare:

Does an external SSD actually speed anything up? I remember that an internal SSD would only marginally speed up loading times.

one of the biggest problems with GTA5 was the loadtimes so cutting them down at all is a probably not a bad thing to prep for

It sure seems to, yeah.

What's causing the bottleneck inside the PS4 hardware that an external drive going through USB is faster than internet going through SATA? I also thought you couldn't play games through external drives. I'll have to see if my game loads up that slow, I don't remember it being that slow at all.

I put a 2tb SSD in my PSPoor, and holy poo poo the change in load times was distinctly noticeable. I might need to go buy another for my Pro and do the same. That, and even 1tb is getting to be not enough storage space nowadays.

I bought a 2tb hdd and when I check the actual storage it's more like 1.6tb which is apparently within acceptable tolerance levels :colbert:

Same. Or 1.7tb. Whatever. Apparently the PS4 reserves space on the drive for... reasons? :shrug:

I honestly wish I knew cause it doesn't make any drat sense. Searching around youtube and various subreddits for PS4 games suggests it's at least partially worth it in that some games benefit more than others, but this:

Is a big selling point to me. I played GTA5 on a regular platter drive for a while and going to an SSD was a massive improvement.

I guess the internal SSD is bandwidth limited but the USB drive has its own chipset :pseudo:

What're the odds this game will be able to maintain a steady 30 FPS on a regular PS4? I'm not crazy, I don't expect 60, I just hope it doesn't spike all over the place.

I'd be very surprised if it isn't a nice, steady 30 FPS on a regular PS4.

It won't perform badly, you'll just have reduced definition textures, effects and draw distance.

Makes me want a PS4 Pro but I know it'd be the only thing I play on it as 95% of my PS4 use is just Netflix. I'm counting on Rockstar again letting me transfer my PS4 character to PC once the port comes out.

I know it won’t happen but I really wanna see normal vs pro/x footage prior to launch, I don’t wanna upgrade just for one game but if it runs like trash and takes a year to load I may need to bite the bullet.

I've been thinking about buying a SSHD. I still have the stock 500GB HD and it just isn't enough. This game might be the reason I finally buy one. It'll be the only thing I play for a while and I imagine the load times will be pretty high.

Also I want to drive around with a turkey strapped to my saddle 24/7.

Yeah I am in the same boat. I know in my heart I should get the Pro but I really do like the X.

I'm also worried about this. I don't have a pro AND my ps4 has the "doesn't want to leave disk inside so it shoots them out" problem. So this is gonna be a digital buy for me...I mean, I'm sure the game will look amazing no matter what ps4 I have, but I don't wanna get jipped out of the full(real)experience .

Looks like some of the folks over on reddit seem to think Armadillo is back in the game. Is it crazy to think 1/2 the map would be a remastered version of the old one?

Anyone got a quick rundown of the different price points for the game?

I see standard at 60, 80 for a heist mission, hideout, horse and guns, and 100 for all the extras from 80 in multiplayer.

I mean this is basically confirmed. We've known for awhile that West Elizabeth is back, but New Austin has been mentioned in promotional materials.

It seems like Mexico is the only thing missing.

I will be legitimately upset if poker is cut. I spent far more time than I care to fully admit playing pretend virtual cowboy poker in RDR1. And ooooo online poker would reeeeally own!!
