Remember when you didn’t have to install a game on a console? The days when an 8mb memory card would save several games’ data once? Of course you don’t, you kids of the early 2000s with your Tik-Tac-Toe, Snapbook, Instanudes, you don’t have the struggle of having to decide between deleting that save file of The Simpsons: Hit & Run or Burnout 3: Takedown. It would always be Takedown, I’d rather play Burnout again than do that godawful final mission in Hit & Run. My point is, back in the year four, we had games made by developers that cared about conserving space. Discs were small and the first Pokémon was 512 KBs, or fit on the first iPhone 31,200 times.

Well, thanks to the PlayStation Direct store, a site to buy hardware directly from Sony; we know how large The Last of Us Part 2 will be on release. Abdul covered its new release date, as it was pushed back once again. This store listing in small print, notes the game will come with 2 discs (we already knew this) and will be a “100 GB minimum.” Much like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) and Red Dead Redemption 2, the game will undoubtedly be a nightmare to download, as this is only the minimum. Then there’s the day-one patch and the several others that will come.

This news comes following several spoilers of the game (including the ending), some of which I knew long before, and ultimately made me think the game is less The Last of Us and more Uncharted. I’ve shown my displeasure of Uncharted before with Drake’s Fortune seeing me moan about its useless set-pieces, lack of actual character, and everything about it being as fun as being smacked in the genitals with a fish by a nun. Of course, we won’t be able to confirm if those leaks are entirely true until June 19th, when the game officially releases, and that 100 GB download is complete.
