That's gonna be the whole game, I'd imagine.

Good point.

I have very little understanding of how this stuff works. TLOU:R is 50 gigs and I really don't know what the majority of that is dedicated to, textures?

No word yet on Pre-loading. Let's hope we can.

I just tweeted Clint Oldenburg on that. I'll get back here with new info whatever it may be when he gets back to me.

Textures, audio, and 3D meshes and animations. TLOU is a very story-driven game in an open-world setting. Between the variety of environments, characters, and props, along with the sheer amount of dialogue needed to tell the story, the disc footprint can get huge quickly.

By comparison, Madden in particular doesn't really have much variety with respect to core gameplay content. Maybe 40 stadiums, little variety in player geometry, a few dozen sets of uniform textures (including rasters, normals, etc.), all the shared player audio, the entire bank of shared player animations, the QB-specific cadences, the commentary (all likely compressed to hell and back because it's just spoken word)... just not as much there to put on the disc.

UPDATE: According to iloveparkmin, pre load date is August 24th! He says it says it under the coming soon section on the PS store for M15.

EDIT: Looking at the clock on my own pre order screen, it does coincide with the 24, so awesome sauce. August 24th it is!

EDIT 2: From the e-mail I got from Sony, they say the expected playable date is August 25th at 9PM! (You know it just dawned on me that's probably August 26th at Midnight for EST people) lol.
