If you dig into Oblivion Remastered's files you can find almost the whole original game like a set of dinosaur bones

So that's why they call it a remaster.
You're viewing a single thread.
Well that's not too surprising, when the original game's installer files are only about 5-6 GB in total, and the remaster requires 120GB of space. They probably have a couple copies of Fallout in there too just for bloat.
I mean I'm pretty sure the massive game sizes we see today are almost exclusively caused by high res textures and assets.
Bethesda was notorious back in the day for using uncompressed textures. Not lossless textures, just fully uncompressed bitmaps. One of the first mods after every game release just compressed and dynamically decompressed these to get massive improvements in load times and memory management.
I look forward to the day that game companies start making hi res textures an optional part of the installation. I don't need all of the textures used for 4k when I'm running in 1440p High. They are just wasted space on the hard drive.
For the user interface they can easily inform the user which options are restricted if they don't install the textures.
Texture resolution doesn't map to screen/render resolution like that. Depending on the object, its mesh, the physical size (dimensions) of the in-game object, and how close your player view/camera is to it, you can absolutely see a clear difference between 2k and 4k textures for the object, even when the game is rendering at 720p or lower.
That is correct, it isn't an exact scaling for every single texture yo the setting which is why I said I don't need most hi res textures at a lower resolution. Many his res textures are not used at all on lower settings even if some are, and the developers would know wbich are needed and which are not.
There are games that do that, often called something like "high resolution texture pack". People usually recommend against downloading them, because any potential increase in quality is usually met with severe performance or load time issues.
Many already do, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is one that immediately comes to mind.
That's what they want you to think. In reality they just stopped trying to be efficient with storage because of Internet delivery vs DVD size limits. They probably didn't even try middle-out compression!
Which sucks for anyone that doesn't have a 8GB+ GPU. I'm fine with 1024x1024 textures, I don't need or want higher res textures, I want good framerates
You can usually set that in game although the settings are usually vague (low, med, high, ultra, etc.)
I don't need nor want to download the damn files in the first place. Most games won't allow me to delete them either
The entirety of Fallout: New Vegas is playable from an arcade machine in game.
Pretty fucked if true, since they fucked the devs of New Vegas.
Unfortunately semiconductors haven't been invented in the Elder Scrolls universe so no arcade machines which means this is a lie.
