100 GB file size for Star Citizen is a possibility.

How many years are you expected to play before you finish the game?

Even Skyrim is only like 6-10 GB. Granted I'm sure much is textures, maps and objects, but still, wow, huge game.

SC is shaping up to be a rather large game, but file size tends to speak more of the quality of assets, as well as the amount and compression of audio and pre-renderd cutscenes. That's why we often see very linear (and fairly short) titles like Ryse and 1886 taking up more space than open world titles like inFamous:SS and Sunset Overdrive.

Considering how strong a focus SC has on delivering a 'true' PC gaming experience (meaning incredibly high quality assets), 100GB isn't that surprising. Still pretty damn huge though :p

True, Ryse is 37GB on my Xbox, and 1886 is like 30GB?  so it's around 3 times.  Not really that surprizing.

Vectors and reusing textures can go a long way to keeping a big game smaller.  Still it's that extra diget that makes it sound so big.

So 5 more years till games are half a terabyte?

(I remember when 640k was more than we thought we could ever use. )
