GTA5 To Be 60GB, No PC Release Because Of Piracy?

Quote :: There are no real figures yet, but considering the size of GTA IV which is around 10 to 15 GB, the blockbuster-bound GTA V surely to surpass that by leaps and bounds. Our idea of GTA 5 being fitted to 60 GB game surely won’t surprise a lot of people.

Previous Rockstar Games titles such as L.A. Noire used to be a six-disc Xbox 360 game until it took them “a lot of effort to get down to three discs” which you can see now on retail stores. The factors that contribute to the size of the game mainly derived from the detail they put on the map as well as the character’s performances.

With GTA V set to smash box-office records, we would indeed see some sizable release from the studio who also brought you Red Dead Redemption.

On other related note, will GTA 5 ever be released on PC? Even with a petition that collected over 100k signatures, responses from Rockstar Games has been negative so far. There are no official press release statement that assures PC users that the title will eventually be released on Windows. Did piracy hurt Take-Two Interactive’s confidence as a publisher?

I blame Sonji.

Isn't 60GB more than even a PS3 disc can hold?

Blu-ray can only hold 50GB. For now anyway.

Exactly this.

Max Payne 3 on the PC was something like 30-35GB and on consoles it wasn't even a third of that.

Can't they just add a third layer?

Actually they're currently working on a 100GB Blu-ray disc right now. But I don't think we'll see in time until probably the PS4 is out.

If Take Two and Rockstar learn that if they release the game like 9 months after the console release on to the PC. They will get high piracy numbers due to the fact it was a bad port, took so long to come out and overpriced.
