Titanfall requires a 48GB installation on PC, and developer Respawn Entertainment has now explained the install size.
The Xbox One edition only requires a 17GB install, but it still takes bloody ages. My copys installing as I write this.
Speaking with Eurogamer, Respawns lead engineer Richard Baker explained that 35GB of that total install size is to do with uncompressed audio.
The idea is that by having uncompressed audio, PCs will have to spend less CPU power on decoding audio, thereby ensuring a slicker experience.
We have audio we either download or install from the disc, then we uncompress it, he told the site. We probably could have had audio decompress off disc but we were a little worried about min spec and the fact that a two-core machine would dedicate a huge chunk of one core to just decompressing audio.
So its almost all audio On a higher PC it wouldnt be an issue. On a medium or moderate PC, it wouldnt be an issue, its that on a two-core [machine] with where our min spec is, we couldnt dedicate those resources to audio.
