Medieval 2 Total War : 7.6gb installation...

And has:

150 Units x 150 soldiers in a Unit x 30 heads/torsoes/limbs/shields HD MODELS + TEXTURES per unit

Full 3d world from Florida to Iraq

22 States

150 high polygon buildings

Voices and voiceovers for each one unit/state/strategic unit 

Can the cows please tell me why the Blu Ray is needed again?

Ouch and I though UT2k4 5.5 gigs was large.ArisShadows

Thats the installed game...The game on the disk is something like 6.4 gb  

Medieval 2 Total War is crazy big, yeah.

Lucky format size is really alleviated on PC with HDDs.

And the main point is that I dont know any other game as large in content graphics and longlivety as M2TW...And I seriously doubt that any console game will go past the 9gb mark...not until 2010 at least...by that time M$ will just release a Xbox3...whilst Sony doesnt have the cash to RD PS4 that soon...

MGS4 is using 7:1 TrueHD audio though.

Thats just proof that Blu Ray will be needed for CONSOLES, not for PC gaming. If an RTS game is 7.6 GB's, just wait till UT3 comes out, that game will probably be bigger due to all the freaking textures and the enormous amount of maps plus the whole slew of individual characters. I think in UT2k4 there were like 30 characters and more then 60 maps plus a bunch of vehicles, weapons and combat types as well as online play.DSgamer64

I am a hardcore audiophile and even I know that 7.1 high def audio wont take up a ton of space, although that also depends on how the audio is produced and the bit rate that music is being played at. I can make an audio file that is 3 minutes long with a bit rate that would make the file about 17 MB's when it could be compressed down to like 4 MB's or so. If we are talking about massive orchestral music and the length of the sound track, then yes it could take up a lot of space.

Can you post pics?
