8:11 Linus doesn't play games very often, does he? Final Fantasy XV alone is around 100GB with all the DLC. It doesn't take many games these days to fill up a 1 TB hard drive, since devs don't bother to properly compress their files. That's one nice thing about the Switch's game carts, it forces devs to compress their files. For example, the Spyro Reignited Trilogy is is 67.5 GB on PS4. On the Switch it's a measly 6.3 GB. Sure, it's prettier looking looking on the PS4, but not enough to justify an extra 61 GB.

[@Kennorx]

Compression usually isn't the problem. It's simply the switch version not using the same texture resolution. ANd if i remember correctly them requiring another 10 gb download. So it's more 15 GB at a lower resolution. Devs could actually handle compression way better on a ps4 than on a switch because of the more powerfull cpu and graphics unit. On the other hand storage for the ps4 is dirt cheap. 60gb of storage on the ps4 costs basically nothing compared to the chips in switch cartridges. So devs usually aren't leaving out compression because they jsut don't care about it, they have to think about things they can lower or leave out on the switch so they can sell it at a reasonable price. Or, because devs and publishers are shittyy, how to sell the cartridge at the highest profit.

[@afonso1816]

yeah, and the switch’s internet speed is way faster than the ps4’s, so the difference between the download time of Spyro in the switch and the ps4 is HUGE. We are talking hours of difference

[@mgmg116]

It's not so much that modern game devs are lazy, it's just that they're heavily exhausted and overworked by the publisher/distributor. Console fanboys like to brag about optimization, but in full honesty, game optimization doesn't generally come about in full until the end of a console's lifespan, through successive, individual updates. They just don't have the time when the publisher is rushing all dev teams on a project to get a game out by the deadline, which likely wasn't a fair/realistic deadline in the first place - especially coupled with publishers' fondness of understaffing cut costs...

Thing is with final fantasy xv why he doesn't have 60 fps is that he has to change it in settings from quality setting to performance, yes I do play it on 60 fps instead of 30 he just has to change the setting for it

Thank you for telling the truth!

[@coeusus]

He shouldn't need to, the game came out in 2016 it shouldn't be that taxing.

[@roboconker]

@@coeusus On quality is locked at 30 fps, while in performance the fps is unlocked with lower resolution.

I got a PS4 with about 15 games, most I haven't had much time to play. The SSD speeds of next gen is gonna be amazing. Every minute counts when you don't have much time to play.
