The console fanboys believe next gen game storage technology will keep file sizes exactly the same, if not, less. quote:LMAO quote:If they want Warzone to compete with Fortnite and PubG the only good way to port it to mobile is through Stadia IMO. quote:Honestly, I've had more fun with pubg on stadia. quote:It kills me. I'm playing Warzone on the Xbox but my God.. If it was available for Stadia, then Consoles would be screwed - it would put them in such stark contrast with the stadia ^^^ that dude's gonna get murdered by the other Stadians quote:We basicAlly know battlefield will.be on Stadia, Siege is announced, others will follow. people who deny Stadia as a legitimate platform can already be seen as individuals who will constantly be moving the goalposts as to what defines it as a bust. today it's there's not enough games, tomorrow it will be you can't legitimately own the titles, this will continue until there's no good reason to view stadia as a bust. At that point, these people would simply stop making comments instead of recanting the things that they've said in the past. quote:Truthfully, because Google supports it, I would not be surprised to see Activision's storefront appear on Stadia. quote:This is one reason i love Stadia!

wait what Siege on Stadia? loving lmao I hope that's true, it's going to be a loving clown show when graphics artifacting makes it so you can't see the guy peeking just barely above the desk and he takes your head off, and any kind of lag is often a death sentence in that game.

I don't just mean this as a joke i genuinely am trying to think of how you could bungle it worse outside of the obvious criminal option. Only paid games but they still rotate out. Locally mines cryptocurrency. You completely lose all access when cancelling and have to rebuy when you resub.

quote:So a weird story. When stadia got revealed my friend was super passionate about the idea of it and praised it endlessly to me and my other friends. I'd just bought an xbox one X and was basically defending that stadia was underpowered and would never compare to modern day console gaming etc. quote:yup same with my friends im a hugh tech nerd and with that have almost every modern system/a few old consoles so when i got stadia and i must say it worked for me from day 1 without any issue my friends just seem to listen to all the hate that had been going on and keep saying it sucks without trying it even if its a free trail like why hating something you didnt even try btw 1 of these friends did the 1 hour free session for gfn and it failed on him (had a bad network at home)but even then loving try it atleast before saying stuff that isnt even true

well why not posted:why are posts by marketers even allowed really As long as the posts are ridiculous and the replies funny, then I think it belongs. (The Thermidor thread was very funny) and ultimately I love seeing jokes in the forums. Especially Games which does not have the reputation of being particularly funny. So far HA has given us (completely unintentionally) some very funny lines. The one in their avatar is my favourite, followed closely by Stay Tuned, Bud. (This one even more funny now that I was staying tuned for a random youtube video followed up with an insult and then a lie about a service). If it gets too much here then I will disallow it, but for the moment this is actually a wild thread and it makes me laugh.

Yeah so in theory that could be a win for Stadia BUT! A) Only a small portion of the gaming population 100% has to play as soon as the patch is released and can't wait the 1-2 hours for it to download B) Stadia doesn't keep up with patches so lolololololol

Shumagorath posted:That's a tough spot to be in since no one is making new Cell chips. It must be only slightly less of a nightmare to emulate than the Saturn. It’s why I’m basically never getting rid of my PS3. The hardware for that is some kind of otherworldly abomination so I’m sure that a lot of the games I have on there are only ever going to be playable on there.

Instead they had like a decade of wierd ID Tech and seemingly still 100GB patches. I don't see why CoD needs to take up more space than say, Fortnite or Overwatch.

quote:What I would like, which might totally not be your thing, is a social lobby kind of space. I think Stadia can be the perfect platform for this. Imagine a space like the Oasis (ready player one/but without VR) in which you can create your avatar and interact will all other players in that space. The space shows portals to all available games on Stadia, which might have some locked and others open, depending on what games you own. In the lobby space you can meet up with either friends, or random strangers. Interact and discuss what game you would like to play together. The lobby could have some short games you can play together while waiting for more people to join in, or just because you like that interaction, without actually going into another game. He just described PlayStation Home but lamer.

CoD was still using a modified version of the Quake III engine til 2014 or 15, they really dont change technical stuff too much. Rotating between studios (I think they're up to three now) really doesn't help.

Yeah if they were not so embarassing half the time then I probably would hit harder. Again, I know this is a bit inconsistent with the main rules but this thread is so ridiculous that as long as it continues to be this way it stays a good source of humour.

Time_pants posted:Okay, I don't play that many games, but how many games out there run 100 GB? That seems excessive. It's getting more common but is still not the norm. My XB1X (so including games with texture packs) here are the installed games that are >50 gigs. This isn't a complete list of games, of course, but most of the heavy hitters are here other than most of the CoD games, which we know are mismanaged to hell in terms of data size. Red Dead Redemption 2 (119.3 gigs) Hitman 2 with all DLC content - 118.8 gigs, note that this rolls in all the content from the first game so effectively makes it have the content of two games with their DLC Gears of War 4 (117.7 gigs). Interestingly, Gears 5 is only 60 gigs. Destiny 2 (106 gigs), effectively a download-only game now (I think patches require a full redownload and with the game going F2P the disc is redundant). Halo: MCC (104.1 gigs), although you can install it piecemeal now. It's effectively a download-only game now (installing from disc maybe saves you 200 megs of DL if even that). Halo 5 (99 gigs) Forza 7 (98.6 gigs) Assassin's Creed Odyssey with all DLC (98.5 gigs), base game on its own is 66.3 gigs Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 (92.9 gigs) Middle-earth: Shadow of War with all DLC (89.9 gigs) NBA 2K20 (84 gigs). This is an interesting case since it's far and away the biggest sports game and was this size even at launch, so you needed a 30ish gig download even from the get-go. I think NBA 2K19 was sub-60 gigs and didn't even have 10 gigs to download, and the ones before were definitely "complete" on disc. The Switch version is slightly over 40 gigs. GTA5 83.9 gigs Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition (plus Episode Arwen) 83.9 gigs Star Wars Battlefront II 83.7 gigs Quantum Break 83.6 gigs (although you have to stream the cutscenes unless you download an additional free DLC pack that's I think something like 94 gigs) Battlefield V: I don't have this installed but the store says it's 78 gigs Battlefield 1: 74.9 gigs Forza Horizon 4: 74.1 gigs Assassin's Creed Origins with all DLC: 72.6 gigs (base game is 49 gigs) Borderlands 3 with all DLC to date: 63.7 gigs (base game is 53.8 gigs) Titanfall 2: 69 gigs Fallout 4: 53.9 gigs Tom Clancy's The Division 2: 64.2 gigs DOOM: 60.8 gigs RAGE 2: 56.6 gigs Forza Horizon 3: 57.6 gigs Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus: 53.8 gigs Mortal Kombat 11: 52.1 gigs (I imagine next week's DLC will increase this) On my PS4 Pro, game filesize reporting can be wonky particularly for series titles (e.g. a Call of Duty game will add up the DLC from ALL installed CoD games) but here are some noteworthy games with what I'm fairly certain are the correct filesizes: Gran Turismo Sport - 106.5 gigs Final Fantasy VII Remake - 85.84 gigs (North American version, it's around 5 gigs smaller for Asian versions and 5 gigs larger for European versions) The Last of Us Part II will span 2 discs. univbee fucked around with this message at 13:48 on May 20, 2020 |
