With some games nearly touching 100GB a time this generation, what sense does 825 GB storage make in the next gen?.
Not really, if you factor in all the other stuff.
Simply from a cost perspective, 2-3TB for a custom SSD of this speed, would be seriously expensive.
There is also going to be an expansion bay for another SSD which must match the speed of the original.
With using the new Kraken compression tool. you'll get around 10% more compression, making the file smaller.
SSDs have virtually zero seek time, therefore no need to duplicate assets, like they did with Spiderman in order to speed up loading.
No more loading screens or game designs that mask loading, so those assets aren't required anymore.
All this leads to a much smaller file size.
So, if you were to build a 100g PS4 game using PS5 tech, it would be a dramatically different file size.
All drives lose space when being formatted, so the only question is, is the 825Gb pre or post formatting? I hope it's the latter.
