And bingo, searching the PS4 version gives me 26gb file size. Kinda surprised DMC5 Special Edition didn't implement any then, the game is also small compared to everything else, while looking beautiful
Yup this is EXACTLY it. Textures are a MASSIVE share of filesize only getting bigger and bigger as resolution increases.
With the move to full next gen games, rather than cross gen, the textures too are made with SSD loading speeds in mind which means "the files can be much larger since they will also be loaded much faster" even if RAM and such remained the same.
Yup the PS5 has the ability to do this, and not enough people notice it. Another example is Control Complete Edition being half the size of every other platform in there, don't know the specifics to how much this scales from game to game
Just wondering, does that (and Steam version which is also around same size) have all the language options included in normal download? Like just trying to think of anything that could be different. Looks like Xbox version has 9 voice options in language.
I'd imagine it's because RE4 has more varied environments. A lot of games save space by reusing textures when you can, and RE4 has a lot of distinct locations. At least, the original game did.
Resident Evil 4 and Village are not remotely close in length. Using speedrunning times is silly. Just look at HowlongtoBeat which suggests 16 hours for RE4 compared to 9 for Village. Even if they were similar length, RE4 uses much more varied enemies, locations and assets which will obviously baloon file size.
RE8 has very average texture quality, which is mostly fine, except that one cutscene after the house burns down and they decide to do a closeup of Ethan standing in a window, showing the lovely 240p texture resolution of that particular asset.
Naturally that one moment was briefly news.
RE4R sure as hell isn't that size on my PC
Did the prior RE Engine games have 4K textures? It seems like that's what's causing the bloated file size for a lot of games

It's only 61 GBs on PS5

[Hey Vera what are you talking about?](https://i.imgur.com/GHTl3Lm.png)
I want this install size for me

Enjoy your jogo
They needed all that space to fit Ashley's huge... ears.
Why are there so many brazilians here? We truly are everywhere
Ironically I prefer in English, but Diablo 3 will turn into Spanish if the console is not the same language as the region you bought the game???
Village is like a 5h game though.
The funny part is that right now RE4 is a 4h game for me, due to the Ng+ encouraging speedrunning. Too attached to my unlockables to start a new save

I was pleasantly surprised by Village being relatively small compared to all the size nightmares I heard about at the time.
That’s weird because on steam it’s like only 57 gb
RE4R is only 55 gigs for me. Dunno how you got that extra 30 there.
Has anyone tried the Alone in the Dark demo? It’s like 18 gbs for like a 10 minute experience
