How did this happen? How did game developers get so bad that they actually manage to bloat the size of old ass games?

Millennials and zoomers are incompetent
this, stop outsourcing india for everything
code diaper is a real thing
>Zoomers!
Oldest zoomer os 24 yo and barely has finished college
i'm a zoomer and i'm 32
You're a late millennial then. Cut off is 95 to 2010 for zoomers.
oldest zoomers are 27. a vast majority of people finish college at 21. 6 years in the industry. you lost
>a vast majority of people finish college at 21
>Finish at 21
....Black person a 4 year degree will put you at 22 if you are going in at 18.
21 years old is not the average graduation age of a stem degree no fricking way no how.
Besides degrees mean jack fricking shit in the industry, it just gets your though HR, the only thing that matters is job experience.
Source. 10+ years in the industry.
>vast majority of people finish college at 21
Not anymore
Colleges have been padding out degrees by adding pointless required electives
They still call them 4 year degrees but with all the added bullshit and people needing to work jobs at the same time most college students take 5 years now
This, your 4 year degree takes the average person 5 or 6 years to do. Shits to expensive anymore to simply work a summer job, pay for college. Let alone just surviving on food rent and anything else.
Zoomers are 25-28 now.
Especially millenial/zoomer indians, who do the bulk of the work. God, why is that race so incompetent? They smell, they shit all over, the have shitskins, are short, are ugly.. Why in the frick do they even exist? They're like the human version of pugs.
It's not that they're all incompetent, they just have literally a billion people, so even if the proportion of morons is the same they're still going to have millions more than anyone else
Pajeets in tech are cheap to hire, plus there's a high chance of nepotism.
Not to mention they lie about their credentials and it is impossible to verify their claims
It also just takes ONE pajeet in a hiring position to get your entire company filled with his stinking relatives
They are like far less subtle israelites
The other thing about them, and im saying this not because i dont like them but because its honestly cruel.
Companies that hire then basically treat them as hostages. Because they are here on H1B1s and if they get shit canned so does their ability to live here. So companies basically have them by the balls and its kinda fricked up.
trust me so did I but then i realized that the person that made it has no idea what they are doing.
Yeah, the H1B system is an excellent tool to keep wages from going up
It really is, because they can hire these people for near fricking nothing, teat them like slaves at risk of getting kicked the frick out, and fricking over local talent.
>use soft power to influence people's vision of the country as the shining crown israeliteel of liberty and freedom
>this brings desesperate inmigrants as cheap workforce
>abuse these inmigrants utterly depressing situation to offer then sub-human wages
>treat them like slaves to drive up artificially productivity-to-cost ratio
>use this ratio to excuse driving down everyone's else wages
>if this happens enough, most people will live on barely humane conditions
>this effective eradicates the middle class
No wonder why every other burger kid is a tryhard gommunist.
More than half of your moronic fanfiction breaks apart the second the immigrant gets in through legal means, suddenly he has papers, rights and the "evil exploiting capitalist :~~*" has nothing
They deserve it because they're moronic
>your moronic fanfiction breaks apart the second the immigrant gets in through legal means.
this h-1b shit seems pretty legal technicism bullshit already, anon.
the problem with vidya wages isnt ilegal immigrants, its corporations having effectively hostages, you are just being dense in propuse, theres no discarding you are a shill
>They deserve it because they're moronic
Thats a horrible and ultimately self-destructing mindset, i can bet 5 that you also think you deserve more.
We don't have unlimited space nor unlimited resources, if you want in on the country you fill out the paperwork and we'll let you in, eventually. Being a fricking parasite makes you have 0 rights, lets companies exploit you and for some fricking reason normal tax-paying people have to deal with their bullshit.

"The love of money is the root of all evil"
Why optimize? Consumers will just rather buy more storage space than stop buying games.
Can't you still buy the original retail games on Steam/GOG? What's the point of buying this collection?
It has previously port exclusive bonus content like some maps and heroes available for all now. Not worth the price.
and the addition of crossplay i guess
I don't think they have confirmed crossplay. I keep people saying there is cross-gen play, but not crossplatform play. I think if there was true crossplay it would be plastered everywhere.
cross platform is not crossplay
I think marketing misused the word because there would be no reason to say "play across all platforms across all platforms"
If that is Hitmarker, it is incorrect.
Remember Jedi Academy? They're not gonna add PC/console crossplay.
So you could play multiplayer for like 2 weeks before everyone moves on to something else.
Control support (game feels unplayable on UMPCs with sct) and (hopefully) improved online.
Aren't the two games combined like 10 GB?
How do you actually make it 50 GB?
probably slightly under 10GB, I have BF2 classic and it’s like 4.5GB. Truly impressive that they’ve managed to frick the games up this much without even remastering or reskinning anything, unless I’m wrong and they did do some graphical overhauls
Find a texture and upscale it to 4k, take into account that if the lighting engine was updated there are more textures than just color maps, see what file size you end up with.
Maybe it's 40 GB of Chromium UI.
I have to assume that the game is actually like 20 gbs but the any futures patches will require extra disc space to rewrite the files
4k FMVs? Five different fully dubbed audio tracks? No idea.
>Five different fully dubbed audio tracks?
might buy it when it goes on sale if the online is more playable than the current version
they unoptimized audio and textures on purpose because they know HD are huge as frick these days. Also space taken from your HD means you won't be thinking of uninstalling certain games to buy and play new ones.
They can think that, but they will be wrong. I uninstalled CoD since it didn't have DMZ in the shitty new one and was taking up like 200GB, and I literally cannot reinstall it again because I don't have the space.
Repeatedly spouted
never proven
a Ganker tale as old as time
I work in marketing
we talk about it
so you're on the same level as lawyers and politcians
4k textures? Upscaled cinematics?
Higher quality sourced audio not compressed like the originals?
>4k textures?
does pic look 4k to you?
>Upscaled cinematics?
20 mins worth of video upscaled to 1080p
>Higher quality sourced audio not compressed like the originals?
i doubt it'll be uncompressed but even then to assume that all of the audio combined would be 30+gb seems almost ludicrous.
don't forget that eafront 2 is 60gb
It's obvious there's some upscaling at work here. just like the tomb raider remasters they did. and mindless consumers will eat it up because frick ugly AI slop > literally anything if it's low res
It's a marketing gimmick
Kids actually think bigger the file size means better game
Wait wernt these games for last Gen? I would say it's pretty decent
they're from the ps2/xbox
Wait what? So the shitty games ea made were also shitting on the legacy of some actual good games?
You didn't know?
I knew about the lootbox thing in swbf 2, and not much else lol
Do zoomers really?
i mean they ARE adding kidd fisto into the game
they're not ""adding"" him they're unlocking him for the new port
lol
But apparently they fricked up Asajj Ventress's saber nunchucks
They took a player's mod that added in the xbox exclusives to the PC version. That is why the animations are fricked up.
That's what I've heard
Do they even do any programming at Aspyr? Or do they just steal fan mods?
Seeing as they dropped the ball so hard that they had to cancel the KOTOR 2 Restored Content patch for Switch (an 'official' port of the mod which was announced alongside the game) AND the KOTOR remake, I'd say that they probably can't.
It's sad a "professional" video game company can't apply a simple patch
But on the other hand I am very thankful we were spared a remake that was going to be written by Sam "I was raped in GTA and lombax breasts!" Maggs
She has the saber nunchucks in one shot of the trailer despite not having them in other shots. Maybe those are scenes from an old build
I hope so
Those saber chucks are the coolest dumb thing I have ever seen in star wars
>PCtrannies have nothing to complain about to the point where this is an issue
>50gb filesize for a re-release of a 20 year old game
>50gb filesize for a game that was originally 4.3gb
WHAT IS THE EXTRA 45.7GB FOR, ANON?!
Considering the resolution of the consoles the games are originally from it's fairly easy to intuit what the extra file size is for.
The screenshots don't look any different, and the only real 'new' content is SUPPOSEDLY upscaled fmv files (to 1080p). If that's the case, then they're so incompetent that they must have hired the encoder for [Coalgirls]
I'm not an expert in these things but I imagine it's the upscaled textures?
there's literally quite literally literally nothing to praise about this. I'm obligated to shit up every single thread you shills make for this piece of shit.
Its not that, at this point in time bigger file sizes are negligible and not only necessary, 4k textures are heavy, that's the reality of the situation, the year 2000 was 24 years ago and storage capabilities are a trivial matter now
>bigger file sizes are negligible and not only necessary
>4k textures
>necessary
frick off
>battlefront 1: ~3 GB storage on my disc
>battlefront 2: ~10GB storage on my disc
Where the frick is the other 37GB coming from?
HD texture packs and language files
english only audio files btw
i don't think that's possible since exclusive content is not present in all versions
>let's re release the good version of this old game but add a bunch of moronic high res textures and not even compress them
i only have 180GB of data a month. i'm emulating tekken tag tournament because its only around 350 MB
Hope you escape Australia someday, fellow third-worlder
we don't have data caps in australia, we aren't a third world shithole like the US
i am actually australian, and i have a data cap because i have to use mobile data as there isn't ethernet where i am
well that's because you live in the middle of nowhere. that could be said of any country.
Isn't most of Australia the middle of nowhere?
Aside from the cities on the coast.
90% of the population is on the coast
>OBSESSED
I'm American
I have no data cap
and my internet is faster than yours
stay mad
>my internet is faster than yours
how do you figure?
because Australia still uses telegraph wires from the 1800s as their internet infrastructure and I have fiber
you fell for the meme. australia has fiber
and yet the average person still gets maybe 50mbps down on a good day
who cares about the average speed? that's not the argument. you can get gigabit internet if you want it
Whatever happened to custom installs? Why can't you just uncheck a box to not install 4k textures and 100 other languages with uncompressed audio?
That probably is not part of the game engine's export settings.
because that also requires competency. Also it seems like options = bad these days
When you understand that AAA games for the last 10+ years are only vehicles to make you buy new computer hardware, these kinds of decisions start to make sense. It's simply become a habit for them to bloat games unnecessarily with graphics options nobody asked for, nobody really cares about, and a fraction of their audience will even use. Even remasters of old games suffer from this now, not just AAA productions.
Imagine trying to play literally any game these days with less than 4gb of vram, you are deluded if you think old jardware can handle dozens of high resolution textures at once while also running the code and constantly loading multiple materials used in modern pbr shaders.
The switch version is "only" 25.4GB that's really chunky.
Xbox and PS seems to be the same as PC.
the fact that is a thing, means that it really must be a from of intentional file bloat. I guess modern game design philosophy is so ingrained that the porting team can't even comprehend why a game wouldn't have extreme bloat to make people wary of uninstalling it.
>Umm you play games that are less than 1gb?
>That is SO retro for real SHEESH
Persona 3 Reload is 22 GBs.
>How did this happen
Pajeet coding. I wish i was fricking kidding.
I have, and im nto making this up because i saw it with my own fricking eyes in code, that was in production
int ArraySize
ArraySize = 0;
while ( ArraySize< 10)
{
ArraySize = ArraySize + 1;
}
ArraySize = Arraysize+1;
Int myArray[arraySize];

>ArraySize = 0;
>while ( ArraySize< 10)

For those that dont know, this entire line of bullshit can be done like this
Int myArray[10];
>no new maps
>no 64 vs 64
>crossplay not confirmed
>$35
Haven't coded in years and I figured as much. What's the fricking point of this code? I would understand if it's pulling variables to store in an array until there's nothing left to pull but this doesn't even do anything of the sort. Is it just busy work to bloat the file to make the person seem like they're contributing?
>int ArraySize
this line alone already brings a whole bunch of questions
Its busy work to make it look like they commited a frick ton of lines of code.
all they did was create an arry of size 10. Which is just 1 fricking line of code.
>Int NumberArray[10];
thats it, but they turned it into 8 lines of code by looping an int from 0 to 9 then adding 1 more to make it 10 and using that variable to initialize the array.
Its just to make their commits look good.
Reminder that trying to create metrics like lines of code committed just ends up making worse products.
>that snippet of code
I have so many questions
if this isnt crossplay then what the frick is the point? it will be dead within a week
will it even be playable with the original version?
Multiplayer in classic battle front is honestly pretty stupid.
Everyone rolls around like a moron spamming the heavy rocket launcher because that's the meta lol
tbh 10x better then EA Battlefront 2 where its just hero bullshit spam.
The best thing about Classic battlefront was that you could have no hero matches.
Rokets, mines, and tanks are "meta" for new players because can all be easily countered with engineer's fusion cutters, my issue was always the homosexual neets who have 8000 hours in the game using snipers
>Everyone rolls around like a moron spamming the heavy rocket launcher because that's the meta lol
No, the real tryhard meta is using sniper, switching to your pistol for a crosshair and then quickly switching back to sniper to shoot
Rocket Trooper is actually pretty balanced
frick. i think the entire MCC only requires <40GB or so
Installing everything in Halo MCC requires like 120 GB.
ackshully Halo 4 is like 60GB
halo 2 remastered is like 32 gbs lul
SIR PLEASE DELETE YOUR POST
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
HAVE A GOOD DAY
-अनाम
Am I the only person who is smart enough to realize that the "50 GB available space" is just a placeholder? I guarantee you the final game will be nowhere close to 50 GB. But Ganker would rather generate a fake frenzy over "muh pajeets" because you are all terminally online, mindbroken morons with zero common sense
SAARS DO NOT REDEEM THE 50GBS
SAARS IT IS JUST A PLACEHOLDER SAARS
50GB or 25 per game, about the maximum amount of space your saves could fill up in the originals
Ganker moronic as always
>Games now allocate for your save space you will never potentially use.
Anon...no.
They're selling the collection on Steam?
The store that already has the original games?
They purposefully bloat the file sizes to curb piracy.
well tell them to stop, because it makes me want to buy their game even less
When Pablo and Rasheed will work for 3 dollars a day a little boat is fine. Face it, we NEED massive immigration. Who will make our games? Who will mow our lawns?
>Who will mow our lawns
tweens that are old enough to need more money than just pocket money, but are too young to do an actual job...
Oh wait, modern laws disallow that in a bunch of countries, so I guess we better bring in the shitskins so I don't get arrested for breaking child labor laws.
every day my hate for the modern western world and useful idiot bleeding heart neo liberals grow
Can Aspyr get the battlefront 3 beta and finished it? Thanks
Just want to play online with my fellow clones don't care.
Music, new textures in different languages, etc
Textures grew in size and audio quality got higher. You might as well ask why devs in the 360 era couldn't make a game less than 500mb like in the ps1 era.
>collection
what even is this thread
why not use cod as your example?
Because OG Battlefront 2 weighs around 5gb.
oh, its just the old games repackaged?
i assumed it was a remake or something
who knows, maybe you are getting 30gb of premium skins to buy!
Any hope for Battlefield 3 then? Isn't the game almost finished?
I've followed a couple of mod groups promising to "finish" battlefront 3 for about a decade now
It turns out the 99% figure is extremely exaggerated
I see.
don't worry, the ai will surely make the game sizes smaller. it will even make them load faster too.
what in the goddamn
i will simply play the two games on xbox already upscaled to 4k. With all the CORRECT DLC.
online multiplayer is bad, instant action and galactic conquest is better.
Frick paying $30 and giving up 50 gigs for this low effort dogshit port
LMFAO, there's anons on Ganker right now who are excited and are going to purchase this. BAHAHAHAHA
Outsource everything to pajeets who bought degrees from Saars University and also make everything uncompressed.
