staticneuron said: I find it humorous that most people say that the space taken up "must" be FMV. That could have been the case but I do not remember playing a MGS that had FMV's in them...... ever. And I highly doubt he is using a 50 gig disc. More like 25 gigs and chances are padding would amount to a very small fraction of that.
I could be wrong, but I believe the first Metal Gear Solid used FMV cutscenes ... Anyways, I was just mentioning the two things which can (easily) turn a 2GB game into a 20GB game with very little effort. On the padding note, I suspect that every game is padded to maximum disc size prior to being digitally signed as a piracy prevention method; running unsigned content is very difficult on modern systems and few people have the bandwith to download a 25GB/50GB signed image.
