If the PS3 roms are anything to go by than people will be jumping for joy when the internet bill is do.
Sign up for gamefly and use pkg ripper its what im doing to avoid copyright strikes.
I have Xfinity blast with 213Mbps and no data caps so switch your provider or rip them yourself, its all you can do.

Copyright strikes are not entirely the problem, its the fact that people think its smart to download one game torrent the size of a MMO stored on a server. Its outrages!

I think I understand where you're coming from (because I have seem some PS3 games trimmed in size a bit by deleting useless files such as other languages, etc)
but 50gb to 1gb? That's just crazy :P

That's simply not possible.

You can delete 3D videos and extra languages off off the disc rips.
You could even delete cutscenes from some games.
But compressing them to a gig in size, simply no.

I personally advise against messing around with the files.
Digital preservation point of view.

Game sizes have gotten stupid this gen. On xbox its even worse, especially Microsoft's own games.

If your ISP is either slow or cap happy your best bet is a rental service like mentioned above.

Games this gen have gotten bigger and more ambitious. If your internet is the problem, go physical.

That doesn't really work when more and more games keep having large day one patches, or worse still require a download to even work if you have the disc/cart.

As I said, the problem seems to be worse with the xbox this time around than the ps4, but theres games on both that have this issue.

Do the following steps to turn a PS4 game of 50 GB into a working dump of 1 GB.

1) Create a game that is only 1GB in size
2) Add unnecessary files to it until it adds up to 50 GB
3) Get Sony to allow you to release your game on the PS4
4) Dump the game
5) Rip out all the unnecessary files you added in step 2

There's another way to turn any huge PS4 game into 1 GB.
1) Take the .pkg of your game that is larger than 1 GB and open it in a hex editor of your choice
2) Navigate to 0x40000000
3) Select all the bytes including and following the address mentioned in step 3
4) Hit the del key on your keyboard and if there's a prompt coming up, confirm it
5) Save the results
This leaves you with a file of exactly 1 GB. It's not functional at all, but I didn't find anything in the OP about this being a requirement.

    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds

    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
