Titanfall is a 21GB Download, 48 GB Installed

No, it classifies as a new release, a 10 year old engine doesn't classifies as "modern" to me no matter how much make up you put it on it, see the Call of Duty series and it's continued usage of the Quake 3 Engine.

So i guess battlefield 4, crysis 3 and such are not classified as modern games because the game engines they are based of have been around for a long time? That is some seriously flawed logic.

More flawed than over 40 fucking gigabytes to install a game? If they did nothing to optimize the install size then any criticism is valid to me. If there's inherent flaws on a game because of the engine, I'm gonna talk about the engine, just like I would talk about a used car's engine if I knew it had too many miles on it and not enough maintenance.

Who cares? We have 4TB hard drives that are fairy cheap.

4tb is over $200 not exactly cheap, cheapish if you add up 4x 1tb but what about people who have a ssd that's just ment for game installs that takes the normal 15 that I have on my 256gb games drive down to like 5

I'd rather a car with 160,000 miles still going strong than one brand new that doesn't have any proven reliability yet.

1) There's an ounce of tentacle porn or hentai on the hard drive.

;)

2) Yes, very large. The hard drive better not fail on me any time soon, or else be pissed.

Not true. The source engine supports MP3 as well as XMA, both of which are lossy compressed audio.

 

How come a lot of new games are so bloated? Why did we all of a sudden double the storage needed for games?

I feel bad for the Xbone users with their non-upgradable 500GB HDD. If games continues to be this big they might only be able to install ~10-15 games on their consoles (even less if they want to save movies and stuff like that on it).

odd considering when noire was looking through the game's audio files everything was in .flac

It makes sense to me. The source engine I do not think was ever made with a game like Titanfall in mind. The amount of particle effects, detail of textures, and animations all add up. I do not at all think it is that crazy.

Well it's not surprising, and hopefully it will get a visual improvement when Source 2 is released

42GB on  DVD? forget it max is 4.7GB, you ll stil download a ton,

 

on a physical copy you ll probably get a dvd with a 5mB link to download from origin... not 10 DVD bundled together, maybe a bluray disk(MAYBE) with 20GB of day 1 updates.

Anything I write is just a comment, take is as such, there is no guarantees associated with anything I say.

Maybe on a bluray disk but even then some bluray cap out at 25GB.

Agreed, I do not buy brand new car models or games anymore: I wait for proper testing.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Titanfall is multiplayer only, right?  If that's the case, you're going to be waiting for the rest of the lobby to join the game anyway.  The game doesn't seem to warrant using my precious SSD space.

My 290 handle this game like a dream, it's the smoothest game I've ever played.

If you take too long to load the game will start anyway.

48GB isn't that much imo for a HDD because I have a 1tb drive but it will be a problem for SSD users who have only a 128gb drive or smaller. Don't really put games on SSDs anymore because I rather use the game space for applications that will load up faster.
