Someone take a quick look at nexus mods and add up the sizes of all the top tier patch / overhaul mods.

F for anyone with a slow internet connection.

What’s the likely hood that we get it next week?

STALKER 2 is sitting at 155.6GB on my pc.. It’s sorta expected these days with 4k resolution textures.

We need Pied Piper ASAP.

I don’t get why the size of these remasters/remake keeps getting bigger and bigger when they are even running on the original engine(While Unreal Engine 5 render the new graphics). C’mon, the original game was like 7GB!

Yea, time to slap like, a third one in there. Sigh.
These download sizes are getting really dumb. Just makes me wanna play old games on old consoles that can’t connect online. Anyone up for SNES couch coop ?

Ha! Amateur hour headline. You told us the file size IN the headline? Someone’s getting fired tonight bois…

Let’s be honest, these are not leaks, this is Todd Howard testing the waters

Ill take a larger install base for faster loading any day.
sweatgod2020
Idgaf if it’s 200 or 250 I’m diving right in. Luckily I have good internet and my backlog is always in storage so I’m ready for this.
-idkwhattocallmyself
Holy fuck is it actually coming?! I was SURE it was all a hoax it was coming this week since E33 and Doom:Dark ages are both in the next 3 weeks. I feel like Oblivion would cannabolize on those sales/subscriptions.
Man if it comes tomorrow I gotta DM everyone who argued with me apologies lmao. Xbox marketing makes no sense.

Who would have known that I was going to get elder scrolls 4 after 5 yet somehow before 6.

Sweet jeezus

Gonna contain every type of texture file: 1080p. 4k, 8k

God I just got RDR2 and BG3 downloaded on my Xbox…
I don’t have enough space. Lord help me I might have to go get an extra storage device tomorrow ONLY if it releases.

Hmm

This game is like peak nostalgia for me. I was just graduating from college and kind of traveling internationally. I met my wife around this time. Inject this right into my veins.
osterlay
Is this a simple remaster or a remake dubbed a remaster?
Noxiuz
i think we need two more remasters before GTA 6 releases
wonkalicious808
Well, I guess I better make sure I have that much free space on my SSD.
N2929
So gta 5 size
ShadowElite86
Got dam! I’ll start downloading when it shadow drops Tuesday and be ready to play on Friday I guess. 😭
120 GB is more than 26 times the original file size.

And it’s still going to look marginally better than the original.
ballsmigue
People really don’t realize how much high rez textures take up space wise these days do they lol. MHWilds high rez pack is like an extra 75GB alone?
Slug_core
If we think this leak is true the same leaker said it comes out tomorrow…

*compression has left the chat*
RedEyedPig
Why cant they just make 4k textures optional downloads? That is likely very large portion of the file size and very small portion of gamers will ever play using them.
boot2skull
So it will take time for smart fridge tech to catch up to install Oblivion alongside Skyrim?
Quest_Hub
All this “leaking” looks like great free advertising to me.
XBlackstoneX
Is Sean Bean on board?
Jellozz
Doesn’t surprise me, same thing happened with the recent Ninja Gaiden 2 Black release. It’s nearly 80 gigs where as Sigma 2 (which is using the same code) was only around 4 gigs.
Phastic
Wasn’t the original 6.66gb? Unless it’s a full on remake, it does not warrant a 114gb jump whatsoever
onestaromega
I hope it comes out tomorrow. I’ve got the next 3 days off, luckily.
VincentVegaRoyale666
Jarvis calculate the mods in the file size total
Wolf_Mail
“10x bigger game”. Bruh
anonymous32434
I NEED IT NOW. I DON’T CARE HOW BIG IT IS. IT COULD BE A FUCKING MILLION GIGABYTES. GIVE ME THE GAAAAAMMMMEEEEE
Kurovi_dev
This is entirely in line with a modern game. Final Fantasy VII remake part 2 was something like 150gb, and this is an equally massive game.
Everyone’s talking about textures, but there are very high detail models here too, and those also take up a very large amount of space. Except unlike textures, compression of geometry is more complicated, so the ability to compress and decompress models is more limited.
I just bought a new SSD a few weeks ago to keep up with the latest generation of game sizes, looks like I’ll finally be installing it tomorrow.
On the one hand it sucks that the file size is that large, but in the other I’m glad that they’re going for fully modern and not just some upgraded textures and fiddling with the lighting.

For those wondering, the original GOTY edition requires 4.6 GB storage space according to the [system requirements on the Steam store page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/22330/The_Elder_Scrolls_IV_Oblivion_Game_of_the_Year_Edition/).
120 GB is more than 26 times the original file size.
