The article talks about gaming's future and whatnot, and you can go ahead and read that, but holy shit, a 13GB patch. That's insane. I can't even recall a patch that big even on the PC.
-
Hopefully the devs learn to optimize better
-
The thing I've been wanting to know is, is Dead Rising 3 even worth it to buy? I mildly played the first game and thought it wasn't good enough to complete. How is it compared to the Left 4 Dead series?
-
That sounds like the entire dlc, i'm guessing it includes the patch so people who have the dlc can play with people who don't have it or something like.

[quote]Is this sort of massive patching going to be the norm in this generation of gaming consoles?[/quote] As far as I know this is only for this game. When my Ghosts and BF4 updated they were around 500MB. Each Ghosts update was that size. It seems like the only reason why this update is this big is because it's patching the game to work with the DLC. It's as if they made the game without it being able to handle DLCs.

Edited by Toa Axis: 1/23/2014 6:03:33 AMWhat the hell could they patch into the game that could take up 13 GB? O.o
-
Shit game.
-
What? Are they redoing the whole FREAKING game?
-
Its not a patch, it is dlc. You guys should no Heffernan to belive a kotaku article.
-
Holy hell... That's as big as 2 or 3 Battlefield updates o.O What on earth are they doing in that patch?
-
This is only a problem for people who play that shit-hole of a game...
-
WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF TOMORROW!!!!!

I could never get into that game anyway; I might just sell it to Game Stop.
-
ITT: Assuming this applies to all next gen games
-
It's a compatibility pack, I understand to an extent
-
That would take me 12 hours to download. No thanks.
-
Lol wtf! The game has been available for a couple of months and they already have 13 gbs of content and patch's to download? WAAAAT?!?!??!
-
This really pisses me off. Games companies dont even bother shopping a complete game any more. They just throw it together to get tons of cash then "fix" the game with patches once enough people moan. I mean yeah a gig or two to fix a problem but 13 takes the piss.
-
Can they just add a sandbox mode?
-
Wow. Not even Battlefield 3 took up that much... I mean, I was never that keen on DR, but I hope all games don't follow this. On the other hand, if this was a mega patch and there weren't any for a long time, I'd be more welcoming.
-
Holy Christ. If these types of downloads and installations keep occurring, my hard drive will be full before 2018...
-
after the patch my game size is just over 24gb where previously it was i think around 22-23gb
-
13 GB!?! I'll have some of what they're smoking!
-
LOL oh yeah, 500gb is totally gonna be enough for this generation of games!
-
I liked the game already. I wonder what it improved. I also heard it includes a DLC though I'm not sure if it's free or not
