Killzone 3 is huge!

Quote :

If there’s one thing that says a lot about a game is the size, with Sony’s next big title Killzone 3 releasing soon, just how does it stack up?

Today at JPS headquarters we got quite the interesting package straight from Sony, a prerelease copy of the upcoming title Killzone 3. The Killzone series has a lot going on from amazing graphics to a top class online multiplayer. Fans who might have played the demo may recall a rather large download size, nearly 4 GB in size. So this brings up the question, just how big is Killzone 3? Its quite the understable question, most of the higher file size games are either top tier or have nearly endless things to do; some examples would be Metal Gear Solid 4, Uncharted 2, God of War 3 and the highest of all Final Fantasy XIII.

As our first of many topics to give you all the details on this powerhouse, we are happy to announce that Killzone 3 is 41.5 GB making it just a little bit over Final Fantasy XIII making it the largest current Playstation 3 title. This is quite a shock considering the last game (Killzone 2) clocked in with a respectable 12 GB! With this news though, I’m sure you have to be wondering if there’s a data install. I mean most largest games have one, and you want something this nice to run perfectly right? Well we are happy to announce that Killzone 3 officially has NO data install and runs perfectly!

Stay tuned for more information in the days to come.

Almost 3 and half times bigger than KZ 2.

wow...

Damn that's a lot of cutscenes.

Cutscenes?

Maybe. But it could be other things. Some PS3 exclusives use alot of the space to either speed up seek times (by data duplication) or have alot of textures stored on the disc instead of the main RAM.

Unlikely that an FPS would have 30+ GBs of cutscenes.

Yeah like MGS4 or God of war 3. But still, games that use up a lot of space generally have an over excess of cutscenes.

they said there's going to be 70 minutes of cutscenes or something like that
but still pretty huge

They also mentioned that the levels in KZ 3 are in and around 10 times the size of the ones on KZ 2 . . . . . . . .Maybe that's a contribution also.

O.O

And it didn't take 6 years to make... Get a notepad PD.

Size of a game has nothing to do with how long it takes to make it. It largely depends on what that space is utilized for.

haha It's not fanboyism. It's just thinking logically. Games like Metal Gear Solid IV took up loads of the blu-ray disk. You'd think you'd get a massive game. Well that's partly true but 50% is cutscenes.

DAYUM!!!!! Thats huge!

More then 50%

Just found out Killzone 3 will have 70 mins of cut scenes, so I guess not "a whole lot of cut scenes" :king:
