jakebaker Posted May 29, 2024 Share Posted May 29, 2024 I hope that if ASA is getting a physical release, that it has all of the maps already on it. What would be the point of buying the disk if I only get the Island and Scorched Earth? Let's not forget why a lot of people buy physical games to begin with: game preservation. I want the full complete ASA experience on a disk, so that one day when the game is not supported anymore that I have all of my content in one place with a hard copy. No extra downloads, all on my disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volunteer Moderator Joebl0w13 Posted May 29, 2024 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted May 29, 2024 (edited) A triple-layered Ultra HD Blu-ray optical disk has a 100GB capacity. The game, with most DLCs is well over 400GB. Maths don't add up. Add to that, the next version of the XSX (October release) won't have an optical drive. Everyone is dumping them. Games on disk are pretty much over unless you are hanging on to old consoles, that can't play modern games anyways.

Not that its a little impractical, its not impossible to play games that are stored on multiple disks. With Ark its a little bit hard probably, because so many content comes together in-game. But in general it could still be very possible to do this for many, many games. If I had an easy option to have hard copies of games, anytime I bought one today, I would like to own them for sure. They will be stored in my closet, next to the original GTA, Unreal, C&C disks etc etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the physical release is actually happening in June then it definitely won't have all the maps as there will only be 3 released by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
