chngdman Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 As for "bad coding making the game huge" HAHAHAHAHA! I must have missed that post! Let me back you up on this here: The code for GTA IV makes up less than 1% of its weight (it's an estimate, but a duh one). The textures in GTA III were 8bit, if that wasn't enough to make them tiny in size, they were also way smaller in dimensions without mipmaps. This game is actually pretty small too, to be honest, when you consider it fit on the same disc all other console games fit on and has a billion times (there's my duh estimates again ) the assets of other games. 2 DLDVD on PC, right? Either way, 16gig on the PC. Know where that is from? Yup, Xbox was compressed OR we got a whole class larger of textures. I don't know how big the PS3 version was or how much of the BRDVD it took up, but I know the whole game had to have been compressed to fit on a DLDVD, music and textures. On PC, it's probably less compression (yay!), but now I do wonder how big it was on PS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
