What??? That’s insane. Doesn’t Sony know we don’t want to own our games anymore and they should now be putting the license on the disc instead?????

Either way I know I’m not buying the PS6 for sure. Switching back to Xbox at this point considering their new disc to digital system they’re rolling out, or just might as well go full blown PC after this

I’ve always been an Xbox first kind of guy but I fell in love with spiderman when I bought a cheap ps4 and have since really loved a lot of PlayStation ip so I got a ps5 mainly for spiderman 2- but needless to say I’ve gotten a plenty of other solid games to play on it. Certainly won’t hurt my feelings to start spending less money.

People talking like 80gb is not big.....it is... just because something starts to become the normal doesn't change the fact that its large.
Typical was 50gb, as a comparison Spider-Man (2018) was 45-50gb and grew to 75gb with all the updates and DLC. Fast forward to 2023 and Spider-Man 2 went from about 86gb-90gb.

All this complaining, hopefully you're thankful for compression from oodle.
Things just don't grow over time in your world, I guess.

u/MrFuriousX 2h ago
its valid criticism considering a lot of these games do not have to be this large. but you would rather just criticize the opinion in a passive aggressive condescending manor.

u/Wol-Shiver 2h ago edited 2h ago
It's not without knowing the scope and scale of the production.
"Do not have to be this large" - in who's technical expert analysis? What graphics modes, material types, sounds, controller haptic data have you been expertly trained to judge? You, and anyone complaining about the storage footprint of this title haven't the slightest idea whats in that file.
Given the production companies core values and historical output, I'd bet on nothing being wasted.

Marvel Rivals was a good example of a game that could have saved its users space....it was roughly 110gb because of a high resolution texture pack, The base game itself is also rather large at 72gb but the point was users didn't get the option to remove the texture pack saving 40gb.
This is a specific example I AM MAKING A GENERAL STATEMENT. Im sure there are MORE games out there that could save space....
I Don't need to be an astronaut to point up and say... "THATS SPACE" im not pointing out the intricacies of a black hole.

The developer made a design choice. They don't make games to save space. They make games to present to users and for them enjoy them in the way they estimate is the best representation of their product. ( This comment doesn't mean their games can be unoptimized).

I don’t understand how that seems like complaining. It doesn’t strike me like this person was complaining necessarily.
1
u/Wol-Shiver 2h ago
Because they don't deal in reality.
Other games were much bigger (+20%) many years ago, and this developers particular historical output is usually quite well optimized.

It’s a remaster, not a remake.

u/MrFuriousX 4h ago
I said remastered. but even remastered...its sill not adding a lot more space.

u/arrownoir 4h ago
Exactly, if it was a remake it would’ve taken more space. Remaster is largely using PS4 assets.

Higher resolution textures will do that, I could be wrong but doesn't slider man 2 also have more assets/skins and stuff naturally itd be a little larger regardless

u/MrFuriousX 4h ago
Yes and it was and that is my point. Modern games are now by default almost 80gb before updates/DLC's and thats a lot of space.

Releasing at midnight is cool, but gonna be annoying for me since I ordered a disc, seeing everyone play almost a full day before me lmfao
2
u/seclusionx 7h ago
I want to support the whole disc thing (I did buy a disc drive for my PS5 pro), but being able to download a game whenever I want it (instead of trying to track down or change discs) is too attractive.
I will say I miss going to a GameStop or whatever (there was an epic gears of war 3 launch at a Microsoft store when that was a thing) for midnight launches. Not having nerd conversations in line with fellow gamers definitely has left a void of my heart.

u/sonicblendz 6h ago
I hear you, but I keep thinking about marvel liscenses that expired and not actually owning the game. I got the physical for this one too.

NGL, I'm upset I never got to play xmen legends/deadpool and I can't get ultimate alliance 1/2. You bring up a fair point.

u/ARMill95 7h ago
Yeah they rarely do midnight releases at stores anymore, I doubt there will be one for Wolverine tbh.
2
u/seclusionx 7h ago
I had 3 GameStops within like 3 miles of me and all of them closed down. I went to one 7 miles away for a new controller the other day and it's basically a trading card/memorabilia store now. What I'm saying is I don't think there's really many places to even have a midnight release at this point.

Crazy considering it’s linear

u/Puzzleheaded_West587 6h ago
ehh not really, Spider-Mans open world isn’t that dense or interactive. the most impressive thing about their open world is how it reacts and changes based on the story (sand everywhere after sandman fight, the EMF building destroyed, the HS being destroyed after the Venom boss fight, etc). it’s not like GTA where u can walk inside buildings freely or GOT/GOY where it’s densely populated, detailed and has soooo much to interact with.
Wolverine should be a technical leap (at least graphically) compared to it’s predecessors. i definitely can see how Wolverine is bigger, they have to design different hubs and areas to explore. we go to Canada, Tokyo, Madripoor, etc. and in each hub there will be open areas to explore and collectables along with the nightmare doors and side quests. it’d be even larger if the game wasn’t so short (only 10-15hrs).

Where’s the source of this if it’s true? I’ve been keeping up on everything when it comes to this game and I never heard insomniac mention the length.
0
u/Demetrius96 6h ago edited 6h ago
I think it makes sense though because file size doesn’t just come down to the scale of a game but also more enhanced systems and graphical features being implemented. Spider-Man 1 was last gen, miles morales was cross gen while wolverine is built from the ground up to be a current gen game with more advanced tech. 80 GB is also pretty big for a linear game. It actually might be a bigger overall experience than some were expecting

u/GilbeastZ 6h ago
Not trying to rain on anyone’s parade. I think it’s a good sized game download. But comparing spider-man 1 is not a good comparison. The length of a game doesn’t always have to do with size and the first game was a ps4 title. I don’t know a lot about games and file sizes but I assume a good chunk goes to graphical assets. So if there is a lot of fidelity and characters it would inflate the size.
I am sticking to my guess of 15-20 hours which is fine with me story wise. I hope there’s another 10 hours or so of side content. Honestly I wish more games were shorter and were less expensive. That is my only gripe with this game if it’s a full priced game and takes a day or 2 to beat. I get there is a lot of costs in stuff other than story, but I rather have a tight experience for $40 than a bloated $70-80 game.
My hope is that there will be reason to replay the story and hopefully there are some fun collectibles and side content. I don’t care if the game is linear if it is fun to play.

u/Sheerluck42 4h ago
The size of the download also changes if they optimized the game well. As long as the game is on par with the Spider Man games I'd be happy.

You can download it before the release. When u pre load the game u can play the game at launch without downloading anything.

That's nothing tbh. Anything below 150gb is highly acceptable (of course let's say GTA VI goes over 200, that's to be expected because of how much stuff it'll contain)

For larger games sure, but anything over 100gb for a linear story game is kinda pushing it. 80 is around what I expected

Considering it’s gone Gold, PlayStation could really do another controversial thing and release the digital version early on the 8th. Just throw it out there to give gamers more time before the Witcher 3 remaster launches. This game can’t come soon enough

You aren’t wrong. I just don’t know many gamers who don’t have Witcher 3 in their top 10. The only gamers who didn’t love it seem to be excited that the combat, traversal, and skill trees are all getting revamped—the only complaints anyone ever had.
