oCrapaCreeper Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Give FPS view as separate download (people having motion sickness will not use FPS view) That would be problematic for online mode as players are seen using the first person animations from the perspective of other players, a session would have to ensure everyone on the server has the "separate download" installed.

MarshallRawR Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) My Suggestions: Compress the game Provide 4K textures as separate download Option to choose the language before download Give FPS view as separate download (people having motion sickness will not use FPS view) 1- Should already be kinda compressed. 2- No source of 4K textures yet. 3- Well, voices are in English anyway, it's only text so doesn't matter 4- I don't think it would work, also, you can deactivate it.

Silent Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Those are moronic ideas since none of those will provide more than 10-20mb saved. Also, who ever said PC will have 4K textures!?

People automatically assume that 4K resolution = 4K textures, which is not the case at all as much as people want to believe it.

Intstringeger Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) Give FPS view as separate download (people having motion sickness will not use FPS view) That would be problematic for online mode as players are seen using the first person animations from the perspective of other players, a session would have to ensure everyone on the server has the "separate download" installed. It would be problematic because jobs can be locked into first person view (or so I've read, haven't played the new console version). In any case i'm sure Steam is already going to keep the download size at the minimum possible, it's in their best interest to save bandwith.

Well I guess he meant all the animations that comes with it. Yeah, there's like 3,000 unique animations alone for weapons in first person view. Not sure how big of a file size that would make, a lot of them could simply be really small and short animations.

MarshallRawR Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 It is true though that Steam advertise the game as featuring a "dramatic improvements to [...] textures". I still think that if it were 4K textures, it would have been advertised as 4K, at least for the brag.

WATER DRAGON Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 There's no 4K textures. 4K resolution but not textures. Even if you took those out of your download it's sill gonna be huge as f*ck.

SkapeGote Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Why does download size matter?. Are some people on Internet caps?.

Relative007 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Personally I would just buy the Physical Copy as 65 GB would use up a significant chunk of my Monthly download allocation. Compressing the game to decrease the install size would also defeat the purpose of (for example) deliberately having Loss-less audio files.
