So Much for the PlayStation 5 SSD Resulting in Reduced Game Sizes

[The Rogue Elemen7]

Really? Dude.

Until more HDDs get filtered out of circulation, and/or when a game is ONLY playable on the new consoles, THEN the file sizes will be smaller - til then they have to program to the lowest common denominator, as they ALWAYS HAVE. I mean this is common sense folks.

Hate to break it to you, but because of this, those instant load times and whatnot will take a little while and come in as well. Try not to freak out about it

Surely the author knows this lol. Clickbait

Who the hell wrote this garbage ? Never was it implied the games would be smaller be uase of this new storage technology on the PlayStation ,side note, soon a similar tech called Nvidia IO will be available computers in 2021.

If anything the first thing that was ever said or shown on this Technology was that now the game developers wouldn't have to worry about the size of assets for the game as much do to the fact that they wouldn't need to shave down file size for optimization.
So basically they said that from day one the files of the games will most likely be getting bigger , alot bigger.
How does this stuff even get posted to read ? Doesn't anyone check this garbage before misleading everyone that doesn't know wtf is really going on?

If you read the article then you would know that it references Wired where the author disputed the point directly in the Q&A with system architect Mike Cerny. It's fully explained in the first three paragraphs before talking about the game sizes that were revealed for some of the PS5 launch games.
