At least for PS5 the opposite is true: if a game uses kraken texture compression, and many do, PS5 variant will be the smallest.
- littlecranky67 10mo agoHow is that even an argument - the PS5 has had proper discs. The issue is, the disc content is 1GB file that requires a 50GB download.
- viktorcode 10mo agoIn modern game development practice you will have to download patches anyway, so whatever there's on disk is irrelevant. Hardware has nothing to do with that.
- littlecranky67 10mo agoExactly that was my point. Consoles used to have a seamless "put in disc and lets go" experience, but they lost it and now are on par with PCs on that UX.
