If you haven't upgraded your PlayStation 4's bog-standard 500GB hard drive, then chances are that you're already being forced to play Puyo Puyo with all of your installed files. Fortunately, forthcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive The Order: 1886 won't take a particularly big bite out of your system's storage space, as it will only occupy 29.4GB – prior to patches, of course.
That's quite a surprising figure considering the visual fidelity of the release, but while it may prompt some to question the length of the actual adventure, a few people online have been quick to point out that all of the release's cut-scenes run in realtime, ultimately saving space ordinarily reserved for pre-rendered videos. This is good news for those of you planning to download the game.
There are just a few weeks to wait until the third-person shooter is officially released, with Sony set to drop the Ready at Dawn developed historical escapade onto store shelves from 20th February. If you haven't watched it yet, the title's recent story trailer is a real must see – especially if you've been questioning the title's chops for some time.

It's only a matter of time until the rumours start circling that the game can be beat in just a few hours. It's always the next step with linear releases.
@ShogunRok But none of the Uncharted games were longer than 8 hours, and they're universally praised (the first and third were only 7). The Order seems to be going for the same kind of interactive movie experience, so I expect it won't be any longer than that.
@RaymanFan2 Exactly, but you know what the internet's like. "It can be beaten in 3.5 hours? Trash game."
Sweet, I have plenty of space then. So when does the review embargo get lifted?
Huh..? Like 90 percent of games these days render their cut scenes in engine. What an odd point to make lol.
Yeah that file size is definitely not very encouraging.. but in all honesty for a game like this longer isn't always better anyway. I'm perfectly fine with the game being 15 ish hours if it's a fun game and has a good story. I know a lot of gamers disagree these days because the newer generation seems to equate length with worth as if a game isn't worth the price tag if you don't get hundreds of hours of play out of it... which is why we get all this crappy tacked on multiplayer these days. Ah well its definitely a day one purchase for me. I'm really excited for the game.
"Lycan the sound of that"
Even for this site, that's a new high/new low. Love it. I actually chuckled.
Im hoping for a 13-15 hours I loved the 45min demo I played at PlayStation experience can't wait >: )
@ShogunRok well people want bang for their buck these days and games aren't cheap either.
@Jazzer94 Games are cheap if you're patient enough to wait a few years like I do...that's why I still don't own a PS4 yet.
I'm waiting for the price to drop down to $300 New in 1-2 years, and for the older games to become $30 New or cheaper.
@Jazzer94 Actually, games are the same price as most of them were back in the 80's to 90's. I remember paying $50 for an atari game, $60 for Mortal Kombat 2 and vice versa. Systems were still $300 or more too. Now it just seems that they're all going to be $60.
@ToddlerNaruto A lot of the games are already dropping down in price. I'm just like you though...I wait a year for any sports game (I see most of the 2-3 year old sports titles down to $5 or less used at gamestop). Other than that, I very rarely buy a game at full price unless it's one that I know will never go down..hint, any Mario or most of nintendo's big franchises. Some of Playstation's big franchises are seeming to take a turn like nintendo's and never going down in price.
Lol. If u guys think this game will be 15 hours long, then i suggest you should be prepared to have your expectations shattered .
4-6 hours. 6 hours being on hard mode of course.
@ToddlerNaruto
Exactly. I have played almost all the Killzone games (KZ1, 2, 3, & Mercenary) recently for about $40 total.....as an example. It pays to wait.
And since when is 29.4 gb for ONE game a good thing?!! That's a huge chunk of a 500 gb to use if you don't want to replace your PS4 hard drive.
@GraveLordXD
Yea if you look at gaming prices compared to going out for dinner & drinks, then yea it's cheaper.
But, short of Kate Upton knocking on my door, spending $90 on a dinner & a couple drinks sounds insane to me & would never happen.
@RaymanFan2 but uncharted has multiplayer. I am hoping there is something in this game to extend the gameplay beyond the story. 60 bucks is a lot for 8 hours, really.
I am surprised at the relatively small file sizes of some of these games. Metal Gear Solid 4 took up 50 gb years ago on ps3, I fully expected to have to install double blu-rays at some point. I hope sony is not putting a restriction on file size because that could be potentially holding back new experiences. Totally expect the next Fallout or Skyrim to be 100 gb.
Also, I am very much looking forward to this release. The whole idea of this sci-fi horror setup in 17th century England is super cool in my opinion. I hope it does well as this is the first new ip from Sony on Ps4 that I have really been looking forward to and I loved Ready at Dawn's God of War psp games.
@Ps4all - That funny. A day or 2 ago I predicted Squeenix would try to make FFXV stretch to 2 discs just to brig back the memories of PS1 days when all their games were on 4 discs. They'll be advertising it w/ pride too
@rjejr For sure, thanks to the install on the HDD at least we won't have to switch disks mid-game!
@rjejr if you played FF 13 on 360 those memories are very fresh. It was discs.s on 360.
8 hours of duck n shoot then. Reviews should be pretty bipolar.
@GraveLordXD Systems were pretty expensive. I remember seeing the Atari Jaguar system in stores for almost $600...couldn't believe it, probably why it failed. 600 back then was a lot of money. I do remember paying $50 for Super Mario Bros 3, still have the receipt actually with the box. I think I paid $200 for my nes and $300 for my genesis. But, you're right...going out to eat is expensive, even seeing a movie in the theaters is expensive. Games are expensive, but, just like you mentioned, you pay $60 for a game, and you get your play for many hours instead of just an hour or two, so it becomes worth it. Last time I went to the theaters it cost my wife and I with our kids almost $30 for the tickets and of course came that stupid snack bar.
@mitcHELLspawn Tacked on multiplayer is more for the online subscriptions, otherwise everyone is paying for PS+ just for a rotating game library.
The gamers who equate length with worth have a good reason for doing that . When a gamer plays a 10-hour game for $60, only to see it go to $30 in the span of a couple of months, they're going to equate length with worth....because that's exactly what the companies are doing with their games. The longer time its on shelves, the lesser the worth. And if we're talking digital game codes, the deals are bigger, better, and come much sooner.
I dont completely agree with it, but I understand why certain gamers feel that way.
@JLPick I'd never buy a game used unless the new prices are ridiculous ($70+). I can usually find most PS3 games for $30 New or cheaper on Amazon, and that's including both shipping and tax.
I usually only have to wait two years for most games to drop down to $30 New or cheaper, though sometimes it's 3+ years if the prices don't drop much for some strange reason (TLoU and GTA 5 are both still $40 New etc)
@Godsire- Yup...though it does suck not getting to play the newest games within the first year of release, despite me never playing online.
@GraveLordXD You could save money by waiting for the new movies to hit the cheap theaters near you...only $5 per ticket here.
As for snacks, just don't buy any there...eat before or after, or if you must eat sumthin while watching, buy food beforehand and smuggle it into the theater.
@GraveLordXD I remembered not only seeing the Jaguar system that high in cost, but the games were over $100. I just ended up thinking to myself that's why the system failed. That was a lot of money back then. I think if the systems and the games were cheaper, the companies would make a little more profit just by having more people being able to afford to play them. I usually always wait for the games to go down, unless it's ones that I know won't...Mario Adventures, Legend of Zelda...etc.
