Skyrim is ONLY 6GBs Big? -.- (Skryim System Requirements)

The Witcher is only 15GB the game is 5GB and the other 10GB is just Maps, Soundtrack, Making of documentary, and strategy guide.

Not surprised. Some of the most feature packed games this gen (Reach, Gears 3, New Vegas, RDR, Forza 4...) are in just one DVD.

PAL360

But Gears is as short as Uncharted and doesn't Forza 4 comes in 2 discs and it doesn't even has half the content of GT5?

Wow those specs are low

I don't care, vanilla Morrowind was like one CD, and if i recall correctly with the amount of mods i put into it had around 3 - 4 GBs.

I'd wait to see it personally. It could be that a lot of things are re-used, or it could not be and it's just a pretty small install size.

I can almost fit the entire game in RAM twice :P

Edit:

The size also makes me wonder just how unique all those dungeons will be.

Anybody got any coupons for D2D for the game?

Those recommended specs look way too high for the game.

Why the hell is everyone surprised about it?

Specs are low, console port incoming!! Pfft, couldn't care less. The game is looking awesome as it is. Might have to mod it for better textures later ;)harshv82

I don't see the issue, and how does this make the dungeosn rehashed and all the same? :?

I think your just looking for reasons to hate the game when you don't have any real evidence to do so.

This is a comparison of Skyrim's specs on the bottom and Witcher 2's specs on top.

so? oblivion is 4.6 GB's and that game was pretty massive....what's the point of this topic? lol

I thought the base game would be around 12 -16 GBs. Bethesda confirmed that it would be on one disc on the 360. So I thought they were going to compress things in order to fit onto 8GBs. Well now I know the game won't even be that big.ShadowDeathX

meh. mods ftw. will make this game into a masterpiece.

What's up Brian

What's up Brian

Sserv

6GB is huge for a game that does not have almost any videos

Skyrim is not FF, so why would it take up more space ?

Most of that would be voices and music too, not game data

If they did Oblivion would probably still be in development i suppose

was the xbox 360 demo they showed equivalent to medium or high PC settings?

Like with witcher 2, Crysis 1-2 and pretty much every PC to xbox 360 game, it is a mix of medium and high setting

martinX3X

We don't know yet for sure but it wouldn't be any better than medium if that. That's on top of shorter load times, the official mod tools, and various other advantages.

If you want to play Skyrim (or any other Bethesda game) at its best the PC version is the one you want.

Witcher 2 that is 100x more visually heavy than Skyrim is above medium setting of PC on xbox 360

So, why would Skyrim be only as good as medium of PC ?

Not much..but it's something.

Also last time i checked Witcher 2 look very blurry on the 360..unless that was some kind of early build.

[QUOTE="lowkey254"]

was the 360 the main platform?

Looks like i'll have to wait for texture mods.

Rehased Textures and Dungeons Confirmed!! Nothing like walking in a new area that looks exactly like the area you just came from. =D

Proof? and this is the PC version (which is suppose to have better textures), how big is the console version?

Why is the hard drive space requirement so hard to believe? Oblivion was only 4.6 GB.

And?

I have GOTY Oblivion installed on Steam and the base game + all the DLC is 5.5GB?

I don't know if you ever played Oblvion, but there was a lot of damn content in it...

[QUOTE="TheOtherTheoG"]Surprising, but... I've never found Bethesda games to be particularly large, file size wise. ShadowDeathX
