<Hideki Sato - Japanese vs American Game Developers
<[…] During this time Japanese game development was really strong. As for why, it's because Japan is Japan. And this is just my own theory but 130 million of us Japanese share this cramped space, 13 million being in Tokyo. Trains run full to the brim of people. And the people live together in peace and quiet. America on the other hand, which is many times bigger than Japan, maybe 10 times bigger and their population is around 240 million. What does this have to do with games? Well games in the 16-bit generation were made onto computer chips, right. In these chips or ROMs, all the games story, graphics, music and everything else had to be crammed into them. We had to work really hard to make the very most of the space we had available, to get as much information in their as we possibly could. It's kind of like our houses here in Japan, our apartments, apartment complexes. Our full trains. In those small spaces, to get as much in as possible while still working together, that's Japan's speciality. Q: If the sound isn't within a certain amount of kilobits, it can't be put in, that kind of thing. Satou: If it's not under a certain amount it can't be put in. But nowadays Japanese game development is suffering, although there are standouts. But when the CD-ROM era came around, the 4 megabit or even specially-made 16 megabit were no more. Now we had 540 megabyte to use. My example would be, say I had 30 tsubo (Japanese area measurement, approximately 3.3 square meters) or 50. I could build a nice house, even add a veranda to it. I can imagine what I would do with that area. But I have 5000. I can do whatever I want with it. Or hey, why not 10000. So, what to do with all that space? I can't imagine! That's far removed from the Japanese lifestyle. Here's where I think the American viewpoint started to become more effective. Within the 16-bit generation we went from the MC68000 to RISC CPU. The calculation power got substantially better, we had more memory to work with and the speed was up, which was good. But that way the Japanese skill of meticulously working details and working a lot of data into a small space, there was progressively less need for that.

Interesting indeed. I wonder if there's been any kind of studies on the ratio of space to productivity and if there's some kind of golden ratio. Would seem to make sense that there's some goldilocks measurement of how much space a person needs to work or live in while still maintaining an ideal, efficient lifestyle, or the most productive workspace.. and if such a thing can be quantified, I have to wonder how that idea can be applied to videogames, because taking the limits off has had a distinct and undeniable effect on the way games are made.
>>16127759
That's why you look for repacks and fixes where the good pirates of the dark net spend 5 minutes chopping out extraneous files. The uncompressed audio meme is only part of the problem. There's also the problem of games loading in multiple uncompressed audio tracks for every language, y'know, just in case you ever wanted to play in portuguese or mandarin.

Sound is no where near the largest portion, at most it's 8 gigs of the total file in a modern game, usually far below that. Modern audio is often uncompressed or very high bitrate. Some people think that's a bad thing. I don't, since it's a small price to pay. Put it into perspective, I really prefer high quality lossless vinyl rips of music over 192kbps Youtube rips. Old games will forever have shit and compressed dialogue and music and unless by some miracle a developer still has the original recordings on their PC (unlikely, drives fail, discs rot and these can just not be backed up) and decides to release them for free (equally/even more unlikely, due to licensing and copyright issues) they will stay that way forever.
A far larger portion is textures. 15 years ago you only had one texture. Today you can have 5 of the exact same texture for various effects and mappings of it. Textures also really cannot be compressed well. This is the price to pay, people like to LARP as if they don't care about graphics and like to bitch about download sizes but the truth is that people will shit on the developers regardless if the graphics look like a DVD sized game. No one is actually going to give a shit that the download size is small.

>movie files
Maybe in 2006. Modern games usually use in engine rendering and movie files are starting to be phased out, for good reason. 20 years down the line our 1080p movie files are going to look absolute shit, just as 640x480 4:3 movie files do today. In engine renders won't have that problem, being ran at whatever resolution will be standard in 20 years time. A great example of this all is Hitman 2: Silent Assassin. IO Interactive was smart and they only used in engine cutscenes, so even the publisher and developer logo cutscenes look great today at 1080p.

I do not rate games higher because I bought them. However I may consider giving the devs money after I had fun with it.

It wouldn't bother me as much if it weren't for the fact that I believe that my sister is capable of more, being quite smarter than most post-911 kids, but what pulls her back is that she has some major insecurities and succumbs to peer pressure way too easily (the only thing which she was able to say no to and not go with the herd with was the consumption of alcohol and drugs, for which I'm proud of her in that aspect at least) which lead her to, once she started high school, follow every single fucking fad targeted at teenagers then and now, from the disney channel era to the "gamer girl" scene to funko pops to the local pro-abortion handkerchiefs which are the rage among feminists here, she even asked me to buy her a fucking Switch when the only actual games (i.e. not mobileshit) she ever played were wii sports and wii fit, and many other things (I could go on with the list but I won't bore you). But maybe it's just a moot point since there are probably teenagers who are far more pozzed than her, I don't know, I'm out of touch with this kind of shit, but I just can stand when she has cat fights with my mom over stupid political "student's rights" bullshit, she even made her cry once. She's even more cynical and acid than me which makes her all the more disgusting to talk to yet she has no critical thought which makes her comments a moronic kind of cynical, the type you usually see here as bait posts.

There is more to that though. It's not really worth it to have a 100 GB game which brings little to nothing to justify its huge file size unless you're the most radical audiophile who orgasms by listening uncompressed sound effects.
I don't want to waste any space for a 2 hours 100 GB game, a game I'll never ever touch again anyway, instead I can spend this time and space for something better and more entertaining, you can get 100 GB worth of more and most importantly good video games you can enjoy for weeks. It's like downloading a shitty new movie in BD Remux quality which isn't worth more than a single watch, why bother if you can just get yourself BDRip with small size and get over it, better yet you can just watch this shit online without wasting space at all.

Blame digital distribution, they no longer have a financial incentive to optimize and compress to get it to fit on the smallest amount of physical media possible, in fact they now have a financial incentive to not spend money optimizing or compressing their game. If you pay for digital distribution then you have no right to complain since this is one of the many reasons it was pushed so hard and is still being pushed so hard.
They don't even release games playable without a patch anymore since they can get away with it since they can send the patch through some shitty client like Steam or whatever console network.

There are still incentives, mostly devs trying to have compatibility with slower hardware, but it is certainly true that file bloat has gotten ridiculously big.

I don't see a problem with that as long as the entire game is being installed from the disc and not being download from some server, the problem is that most of the time the entire game is not on the disc and the rest has to be downloaded from a server. Obviously if the game isn't too big then it should be playable without having to be installed. I don't have a console but I heard Persona 5 has the entire game on the disc and doesn't need to be installed. Most of the few games I have paid for are physical copies for PC that are installed completely from the disc(s) or flash drive
There were several discs in development with much larger capacities such as Hyper CD-Rom, the largest amount they ever got to fit on one disc was 10tb and that was in 2000. The problem with Hyper CD-Rom was the guy that created it funded it himself so no one else would have gotten any profit from it unlike how CD, DVD, and Blu-ray is with their associations.

This is my games folder. The highlighted item is Crysis [8.1gb]. Biggest (top-left) is GTAV [79.7 gb].
The smallest game I have is Lemmings, which (sans DOSbox) is just 247 kb and a lot more fun than GTAV.

If it is it's pure incompetence. Much like how not having DRM is a good reason to pirate, being able to play a properly compressed version is. I'm honestly baffled that game companies are this lazy for digital distribution when Youtube for example is investing heavily in codec development that allow them to push more data through their tubes.
>>16142029
This should not ever be a problem for the game developers. The only valid instance I've seen is with the rePatch mod on Vita where you have mods that need to override a massive data file but aren't able to hack the game's executable to split it off into its own like Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus does. So you end up with a whole lot of crappy nude mods that consume 1-2GB on the system (you can delete the original files if you want but that's a bad idea). Even worse than that though is people don't even distribute them as patches, and usually the modifications amount to a couple MB. It's harder to actually apply them since you need decrypted assets to do it, but for filesize reductions that massive, worth it.

Remember when Skyrim was 5 GB and Just Cause 2 was merely 4 GB? The only recent AAA game that used up less than 10 GB of space was Jurassic World Evolution, tbf it didn't have that much content either, but the graphics are still quite good. I think the main problem with modern games is gigantic textures and video files.

This. The problem is that nowadays games aren't released in a finished state anymore, at launch you're playing a beta, or even an alpha in some cases. Even if there was a 10tb optical disc format, you'd still have to download patches.

Exactly this. PC gaming definitely popularized this and I was one of the people that said the same thing. It's why I don't own nor pay for digital games. They say that it's not only a form of anti-piracy, but also a competitive one to push other games off your HDD. It's an extremely huge contrast compared to games in the older consoles where you insert the disc and that shit instantly went to the game. It's such an unreal feeling compared to the garbage of installation, plus downloading patch, etc, and all the garbage social media shit vying for your attention, on GAME CONSOLE. This definitely changes the way developers code their games and they certainly don't have to try as hard since the facilitation of a patch is just around the corner, or shove the endless DLC garbage pack. Streaming is probably going to catch one sooner or later because the population are nothing but cucks, that will be the day I playing newer games and just focus on the old, which will probably last me a lifetime. Not like there is any game that has stood out to me in this current generation, everything has been forgettable.

I get the impression either you didn't really comprehend what I meant with my post, or the other way around.
I was thinking about SP games when I wrote that post, and nothing to do with requiring an always-online connection. I meant SP games released unfinished and with zero playtesting, with severe performance issues and game-breaking bugs at launch. Just pay attention to the post-launch patch changelogs of any SP game, indie or AAA, released in the last 5 years, that shit shouldn't be acceptable, tons of bugs and glitches that should've been detected and fixed during QA phase before release. Underworld: Ascendant was a recent example.
Until around 15 years ago, when a SP game launched, its development cycle was pretty much finished. The game had already been properly tested, and it would get at most 1 or 2 small update patches for a few obscure bugs that slipped by playtesters. Nowadays, buyfag cucks are happily willing to pay for the privilege of being beta testers, something that 20 years ago people used to get paid decent salaries to do.
I suppose this could be acceptable for one-man indie studios (even if even them used to have higher QA standards back then), but even AAA studios do this now.

You are practically agreeing with my argument. Never did I deny that the inevitability of the internet would eventually change things. The change however, is an obvious decline, just like how technology has improved in some areas of our lives but has decline in much others that has had a negative impact on society due to the "higher ups" not thinking about the consequences or if they even had a choice in the matter of where society transgress. Not that the elites of today even hold a candle of their their peers of the past. Either way, just like how "efficiency" is sometimes not a good thing, the inevitability of how things progressed, doesn't necessarily means it's good in itself just because it made progression for progression's sake.

This is what hyper competition and anxiety brings. Lowering the time of development so they can quickly ship the latest games, manipulating the market so the developers don't go out of line since there is high demand for game designers willing to work for dirt cheap and replace them (almost resembling slavery at this point), and the mind-fucked consumers that willingly allow this due to their infantile state of always consuming since their delay gratification instinct is practically smoked out, in return they need to get that constant cheap dopamine hit of novelty that wears out as quickly as they unwrap, install and play the first five minutes of the game, corporations have managed to basically get away with everything.

Your wording is unfortunate. I know what you are actually saying, but there actually are retards who believe compressed (losslessly) is worse than uncompressed (like WAV). In any case this is the must-read against anything audiophile. The ending about "Lossless Formats" in particular since lossless happens to sidestep the real problem with lossy codecs: prevalence of garbage encoders. The most popular codecs H.264 and AAC also come with patent baggage.

There is a special place in hell for retailers that sell physical copies of 50+ gb games that only have a download code inside them.

It has always been like this, even back in the "golden days". I mostly blame the consumers, like you say people this generation have zero patience for gratification. We have fucking pre-orders for digitally distributed games and people eat this bullshit up - even on /v/ not too long ago there were faggots admitting to doing this shit. There's also this problem of people this generation defining themselves by what they consume, when you have completely broken games with lots of complaints on forums and social media, you see faggots defending it as if it was their sports team - of course some are paid shills but not all of them are.

I don't know if it's strictly an American thing, but I noticed that people here tend to wear out their stereotype wantingly. They somehow need to prove their validation over what they consume, you just can't be someone complex, someone who likes video games and other hobbies, maybe hunting, shooting at the range, physical fitness, etc. No, they need to think or see that you have a Zelda XD sticker on your car, or that you posted a #FortniteNight twitter feed, or even worse yet and even dark (which says a lot about where society is heading) is that people expect you to act in a certain stereotype based on what you consume. I have mindfucked people plenty of times before and you can see their little heads working overtime trying to figure me out. There is an underlying desperation for validation over what people consume. People want to feel wanted so desperate they are willingly to let corporation dictate the rule of engagement on how you should interact with said hobbies and the people around them, people want that quick fix and don't want to work to make relationships.
>zero patience for gratification.
And unfortunately this greatly dictates how a game is designed. From the easily spotted practices of always placing you in the "badass!" role or not making you work to get stronger, make you think on your actions, or with dealing with loss or giving you a choice where you will miss out important details or loss based on those decisions. You can tell these games are made for kids, just to satisfy their egos. "You're the badass" "You can save everyone!", "You got the girl", etc. You can apply this to scale with other mediums and probably get to the point why so much people don't think in complexity and are stuck with an immature mentality with a grown man's body. (Soyboys are like this).
>>16158272
I've seen this too, especially on Steam, people with hundreds if not, thousands of games where they haven't even started playing. Or, if they have played some of them, just for five minutes and never touch it again, otherwise they have hundreds of hours with the same basic bitch type of games like League, ARK, Rust, etc. Not to mention the hundreds of hours of instead of playing games, they waste it on their Steam profile page, their badges, levels, XP, trading cards, achievements, how many friends they have on their friends list or whatever shitpost or useless going nowhere discussion they have on Discord. Whatever happened to just popping a game, laying back and playing the damn thing? You can't even do that these days either, you have to download the game, install it, connect to the internet to patch it and then you get to play it. It's baffling how when I went back to my PS2 how much I enjoyed those games, all I have to do is pop the disc in and straight to the fucking game I go.
