Thats pretty cool. I bet there must be a ton of content if it takes up that much of a disc. Although GOW isn't really a plot masterpiece, I wonder what in the world they made to take up that much room! It also kinda makes me wonder how large the install will be.....

Wow. That's awesome. They've really put a lot into this game. i can't wait to check it out. Prepare for all those "its just uncompressed audio" claims in System Wars.

It barely went past a single BRD. I certainly hope it's not that big because the developers had to copy assets within the game just to accommodate slow drive speeds. Then again, this is a first party title and probably doesn't require such tricks.

Thats what im guessing uncompressed audio unless the textures are 1080p which i doubt that can be done with 512mb of ram.

abit wrong. Euro version of GoW3 is in the low 40GBs. 9 languages in that baby: dubbed, subbed, and uncompressed.

I understand your point. It just bugs me when people complain about it like its the end of the world. I hope there's more than just sitting there staring at install progress to do in your home. Go make a sandwich or write a blog on how much you hate waiting or something. Anyway, I don't think there'll be a large install if there's any at all. Sony's first party stuff has been pretty good about ditching the installs lately. In fact most developers have since time has passed. Don't worry, you won't have to live through another Devil May Cry 4. :P

Yeah, me neither. That one's new to me. Anyway, Yarou1000, I ment no offense. I will agree it sucks to have to wait when you are so pumped up like that. I wasn't trying to pick on ya or nothing. Just talking. Well, let's just cross our fingers for no install. Oh, and cross your fingers so your copy of Uncharted 2 doesn't make you wait for half an hour to play like Eazy's does. :P

I'd rather deal with the larger install and less harddrive space if it saves load times and increases the life of the blu-ray drive! Besides, 320GB drives are like $50 nowadays. Probably even cheaper...

I don't mind the installs too much besides DMC4. I had some whiskey & cigs while waiting for the damn thing to finish installing so I had a pretty good buzz by the time the game started. Can't complain. :P

I wonder what is in the 35gigs for GOW3? I wonder if there will a lot of CGI scenes. Good stuff though!

its amazing people are complaining about an install they'll have to do. Mabe you guys would have been happier with less content in the game? Im glad its this big, I wish it was the whole 50 gigs because that means better graphics and a longer game.

Nope. No CGI movies. Everything in this game is rendered in the game engine itself.

Do you know what ram is?? The space is to let uncompressed audio and more crisp cutscenes out. Ram has to do with how the game runs. 35 gigs of ram would cost 1000+ dollars.

It will be okay on a 40GB PS3 which also has Uncharted 2 and MGS4 on it.

My thoughts exactly too. Just because you have so much space doesn't mean you need to fill it to make an amazing game. Besides, I wonder how long the cut scenes we'll be...
