Titan fall was massive because it had every regions dialog on a single disc instead of printing multiple different discs each for a different region. Quite a few of the console games are doing that cause its cheaper for the publisher. Sometimes the reason is just lazy development. They will put multiple copies of the same file on the disc instead of configuring it to load efficiently from s single location they group files together multiple times to speed up loading so the drive doesn’t have to move the heads and locate them elsewhere on the drive.

Metro is a smaller size because the pc version is already “next gen” and efficient. All they are doing with this update is running some effects in higher quality and using the higher resolution texture work. I’d go more in depth technically but I have a pounding headache and I’m finding it difficult to concentrate
