I’m going to support the company and buy the game because they’ve been through hell to make it. Honestly, I’d feel guilty playing this on Game Pass (don’t kill me, it’s just my opinion)
Maybe play it on Gamepass and donate the cost of the game to a charity working in Ukraine?

The actual installed size is much smaller at almost exactly 100GB, which is not that much bigger then the 90ish of the PS5 version. Differences are probably down to compression systems used, as you said.
Wait so they have you download 175GB but then the install is only 100GB? Something doesn't add up.

No, you only download around 100GB, 175GB is just recommend so that you have enough space for the install process to run. So your OS drive for example doesn't run out of space and the downloaded install files can be extracted and installed to the install location. These recommended space requirements are always higher then the space the game actually takes up on PC.

Interesting, though you can see why people would have that confusion as the PS Blog lists it at 190 (fuck) GB as required.

Yep, you do actually probably require around that much space to install. But after the process is completed the actual size taken up on the drive is usually way smaller.

Fascist motherfuckers decided to ban the game in Russia and sent to jail for treason and terrorist support everyone who will buy it. I'd say let them fuckin' try!:messenger_pouting:

Same here. Playing Forspoken right now on my PS5 Pro, and just downloaded Fable 1 Anniversary Edition and Battlefield 2: Modern Combat (for the campaign) on my Series X.
Nice, I was in the mood for Battlefield as well last week and bought Bad Company 1 & 2, BF 3 and BF 4 for PS3/4 to catch up on them. Does Modern Combat have a proper campaign? Never played it.

Bad Company, FOR THE WIN! And yes, BF2MC does have an offline campaign. AHHH...the old days! :p

Good to know, got to pick that up as well! Thx
EDIT; the f***, it's like 3€ - 5€ on ebay - nobrainer.
Which version might be better, PS2 or Xbox?
Mh, PS2 emulation runs better on the Deck, so maybe I'll grab that one.

The PC version will probably stutter.

Best to wait for the PS5 Pro version.
Engine stutter can happen on every platform.

Last game i played on ps5 that used ue5 was callisto protocol and it stuttered like a bitch at launch and even after 3 patches (not sure how it runs now)

Here people think it's PC only problem and PS5 thanks to magic SSD can't stutter. I wish this was the case when I played FF7 Rebirth, game was stuttering quite often.
