Gaming - 5GO ffXIII demo !! - View Post

Ok. Demos often take up to a quarter of the size of the full game. You need to have the game engine, physics, and whatnot all there. Example? Empire:Total War was a HUGE 20gigs. Demo? 5 gigs. Demo had 2 battles and a tutorial, thats it.
Left 4 dead takes 7.5gigs. Demo? 1.7 gigs. And it was 2/5 of one quarter of the campaigns without versus... so 1/20 of half the game. My point has been made.

The comparison isn't valid because of the large difference between normal games and RPGs. Every single character in Final Fantasy XIII is voiced acted. So, that is a WHOLE of space right there gone to audio. Then of course we have cinematics and cutscenes.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
