    50gb seems excessive…

    after all last gen games were about 12gb. assuming a 2x increase in texture resolution (720p to 1080p) we should be looking at games in the 20-30gb range.

    • FasterThanFTL

      Geometry Detail, Audio, Multilanguage, Ultra High Definition Textures (4K) etc could all be a factors for increase in hard disk requirement.

        Nah. Remember Metal Gear Rising Revengeance? The video cut scenes were uncompressed it was larger than the actual files of the game. Programmers just don’t compress data anymore. 4K textures? Tell me a game that has them? Does this game really have 4k textures? Titanfall also had the same size too and that was because of the uncompressed sound files.

        • Jay

          To be more precise, Titanfall’s problem was not that it had uncompressed audio – it was that it had uncompressed audio for 8 different languages. If it was only in English it would have been like 25-30 gigs (which is still a lot for an arena-combat game)

          grid autosport has 4k textures, ryse will have 4k textures, watch dogs has 4k textures, believe it or not, pc gaming has 4k textures.

      well because they make it bigger so people won’t pirate it 😉

      • Roll Caskett

        The same thing apply to the person who bought the game. Such rediculous size.

      • Dudebro Zero

        Ding ding ding, we have a winner.

        I doubt it’s as nefarious as all that. They probably have a ton of uncompressed audio. Less compression means shorter load times and less CPU usage while the game is running.

        • boniek

          Blame tablet CPU in ‘supercharged PC architecture’.

  • Anaron

    Pass.

    STEAM dayOne maxsettings FTW!

    • Amir

      come on, how much money do you have ? you posted this comment 1000times, each worth 50$ 😀 you are rich

      • corinthiansgo

        If every damn game were released at same time I like everyone couldnt buy it, but its a release per month…nba is only in october…

        Console peasant that are rich…lmao…

  • Psionicinversion

    seems someone couldnt be bothered to compress anything

  • Amir

    game looks really good, i give them that. but not a fan of sports

  • Johannna_L

    Blah NBA. Bring us wrestling, boxing, mma and not that lame nba crap!

  • anaconda

    recommended bit too high for a basketball game

    Some player models and a couple of different courts, this type of game can’t take 50GB unless it has everything uncompressed and for the purpose of making it less appealing to pirate. And these kind of games are those that won’t get pirated that much or at least the pirate would have never bought it in the first place.

    • Jay

      It’s uncompressed probably because it’s a console port. It’s not about piracy. The kind of people that pirate games aren’t going to rush out and buy it simply because they have to wait an extra day or two.

    • boniek

      It is uncompressed because consoles have tablet CPUs that can’t handle decompression and gameplay at the same time and we obviously just get a port.

    Mod edit: Let’s not talk about pirated copies everyone 🙂
