Even though the next gen consoles have an increased amount of disk space, the consoles will not have huge worlds this generation. Because games run at a higher resolution, open world games will have a hard time because they will not have enough disk space.

Titanfall is an FPS, the game takes up 40 Gigs on Xbox One because the shooter has a higher resolution than the 360 version (6 Gigs ish). A game like grand theft auto 5 running at the same resolution as titanfall (X1) version would probably take up 80 GIGs this generation! 

Either games need to be tweaked to run more effecient or this gen is screwed because of disk space!

The Upside to this is if you are playing an open world game I believe loading times will pretty much disappear and be hidden in the background like Dead rising 3!

I really hope rockstar can make game worlds twice as big as GTA5/Red Dead Redemption and have them run smoother and at a higher resolution but we will see!

I agree, but I don't think it's a bad thing. Bigger isn't better, it's just bigger.

GTA V was the biggest GTA ever. Yet most of the map was dull and boring except the main city area and trevors area. As long as the game is interesting I dont care about its size.

Hooray.... Can't wait to see 'em 8th generation linear shooters in action!

Yeah but smaller is never better.....While bigger can be potentially better...  I just finished infamous SS in around 10 hours with 100% (not yet all trophies though) very small world...   then again it is seattle and not New York..

Yeah but that's an issue of content, not size.

Well, they can always use two or more blu-ray discs. I created a topic asking wich will be the first game to have more than one disc. I think games like Final Fantasy XV and GTA 6 are the best contenders.

I think I read somewhere that Titanfall is actually 40 Gigs on PC, 20 Gigs on XOne.

The Crew?

I'm sure Titanfall took 50 Gigs on PC, 35 of which was uncompressed audio in multiple languages
