I have a hard time believing that needing more than 50GB of disc space is a sign of anything but general ineptitude, inefficiency, and excessiveness. Just what does Kojima intend to put on this game disc that requires so much space? I suppose I can hope that this is all just a misunderstanding, and that Kojima didn't actually mean to imply that MGS4 is so bloated in size that it needs to consume 10 times the space of any other game just to meet his standards.

Bingo. Its easy for anyone to fill things up as much as possible, the question is always whats practical. I mean, whats the point of people using uncompressed bitmaps as opposed to png or gifs for the majority of applications? Exactly the same thing here. More space doesn't mean you have to fill it up unnecessarily.

 

A gif is limited to 256 colors. PNG requires more processing power.
