kidson2004 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/09/01/destiny-requires-40gb-of-hard-drive-space-for-installation/ Don't know if this applies to PS4/XBONE only, or PS3/360 and PS4/XBONE. But if the later is true, then I'll wait until I make space on my HDD to play this. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergeantMalon Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Not suprising, NBA 2K14 on next gen took the same amount of space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XIII-Order-Xion Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 That is alot of space maybe just for PS4 etc only you know powerful engine might as well take advantage kind of thing. Surely last gen versions would tone it down a bit and run on less steam etc. If not then wow. Installing FFX/X-2 on my Ps3 wiped out just about everything I had downloaded and that was just half of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30 Year Old Boomer Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Uncharted 3 on ps3 was hell downloading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XIII-Order-Xion Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) Uncharted 3 on ps3 was hell downloading How big was it? FFX/X-2 was 28 I think GB to download. Before that Ghosts was my largest to download at 16GB. I try to stay around indy games with small downloads most of the time only down side to going digital. Good news is for the Ps4 I heard adding more space was easy and that updating to a TeraByte of memory is a breeze.

Starrk_01 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Honestly, should we really be surprised about this anymore? Games are now going to take up more storage. To put it in perspective, I remember having the 20 GB PS3 when it first came out and then getting Fallout 3 for Christmas. It took half of my storage just to play the game. Now if Destiny was going to take something like 100 GB in order to play I can see the concern, but we now should be expecting games to take more storage. Just my opinion... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XIII-Order-Xion Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 like 45 gbs and I forgot the update and I know the last of us is at least 30 gbs Wow that is alot maybe with certain games I should look into just getting in Disc form.

It's true with the new gen comes a new engine games are becoming whole new worlds like never seen before., Details we never could see before are coming into light. Games might start taking up more and more space in return for bigger wider worlds., that said we as gamers have to be ready to open up these worlds by making the space for them to thrive. Most people I've heard about getting the ps4 upgrade to a Terabyte of space just to be safe from the large scale games coming out. This new gen of games seems very exciting I for one can't wait to plunge in and try out some true scale adventures one such adventure will be Dead Island 2., have no idea if its true but I heard that in that game the adventure spans the whole state of Cali and a bit of the neighboring states as well sounds huge and epic!

Demigod Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) Wait so does this affect internet usage when downloading?? It depends on how you're asking that question. If your asking if this is going to take more to download then yes, its more GB to download so you are using more bandwidth. Everything you download affects your internet usage. The 40GB that are referred in the post are about installation though, I dont know how big the actual game download will be, it might even bigger, or not. Considering patches and DLC are pretty much a given then its likely to be bigger than 40GB. Edited September 2, 2014 by BasickAlphabit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean it takes 40 GB of your internet usage, if you've got a, let's say, 100GB allowance per month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamaros_ Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I guess i'll have to upgrade my HD very soon. But seeing that TLOU R is 50GB, i honestly expected much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TehCro Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I filled up that PS4's 500 gb just before I bought diablo. Had to uninstall Wolfenstein which took up 52 gb on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean it takes 40 GB of your internet usage, if you've got a, let's say, 100GB allowance per month? Yes, but only if you download the game. If you go and physically buy the game at a store, then no. You are only installing those 40GB, you arent downloading anything. Until you update the game, and like I said, a patch to this game is pretty much a given, but it shouldn't be anywhere close to 40GB. Now that I think about it. A data cap on bandwidth must be hell for people with current gen consoles. Edited September 2, 2014 by BasickAlphabit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExHaseo Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Guys, this is just for installation. Meaning that you need this much space with the disc based version. Also, it says UP TO 40GB for installation. Which means that it could just say that on the box to compensate for later updates. The actual installation may not be that large. So, no need to freak out just yet guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihiris- Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Not surprised at all. That being said, I really think I'll have to end up investing in a 2TB HDD sometime soon. 500GB is just absurdly low considering the average sizes these games are going to be.

D-Tron Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I'm gonna have to get a 2TB HDD. 400GB will run out within two years. >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soniq Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I hope they either support pre-loading or support the streaming feature that allows you to start playing after only a few minutes of downloading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F22-Razgriz Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Is this a serious question? Why on earth would it not count towards your limit? Now, let us not get ahead of ourselves and assume that everyone in this 'humble' community is as "Tech-Savvy" as most are. Remember, Its always best to ask when you don't know something and be honest about it rather than act like "Mr. You know everything". Btw, that GOAT pic was hilarious -Razgriz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
