Unfortunately, Focus Home Interactive did not reveal the settings and the framerate that these requirements target. Moreover, the game will need 50GB of free hard-disk space.

A Plague Tale: Innocence tells a grim and emotional story, sending us on a journey through medieval France, with gameplay blending adventure, action, and stealth, supported by a compelling, moving story.

    1. Uncompressed textures and audio. Tis the future with the $ per GB decreasing as rapidly as it is.

      1. I bought a WD BLACK 4 TB for 180 euros in 2017 you can buy it even cheaper now so not problem here. ANYWAY RYZEN 7 1700 16 GB DDR4 3200MHZCL15 GS KILL RIP JAWS GTX 970 G1 GAMING DELLP2416D 24” 2560X1440 60Z HIPS MAX SETTINGS 1440P 30+ FPS! But will play rage 2 first!

    2. It’s a result of the classic battle of space vs time complexity. Hard drives are getting bigger faster than performance is improving so developers are compressing things less so that the CPU doesn’t have to slow down to decompress files at runtime or during loading.

      HOWEVER, there is a SOLUTION.

      Windows has a built in compression command called “compact” that can dramatically decrease the file size of a folder WITH NO RUNTIME PERFORMANCE COST. In other words, compressing a folder will not hurt game performance in anyway.

      Furthermore, since using the compact command from the terminal can be intimidating for many users, someone on GitHub made an awesome gui for compact that lets you easily pick a folder to compress and it does so using the fastest compression algorithms available (XPRESS 16K).

      You can find the tools at this link: https://github.com/ImminentFate/CompactGUI

      Once you have that tool installed, just select the game folder and compress using 16K. You should see large space savings with negligble performance loss.

  1. 50GB is standard on this gen…at least it wont require you 120GB like Forza Motorsport

  2. 50gb is a bit too much for a linear story game, well its not like i dont have much storage space anyway i guess

        1. You won’t have any other option, rather the ancient systems stored in your basement!
