Oh thank god the GTAIV: VC and GTAIV: SA thing was a joke. I was ready to debate it too. Sorry I guess I can't tell when a wink is meant to be a joke or being serious and cheeky.

On the compression thing, that's a possible reason for stating what he said, but don't you think that maybe Lionhead isn't being completely honest. I mean whenever a developer talks about space you say that they are being dishonest in one way or another, but couldn't Lionhead just be dishonest?

It is possible that Lionhead exaggerated, but unlikely.  Someone started a thread here on VGC to a demo file you could download that had a five minute video.  The download size was 55kb.........

It's difficult not to be mislead by developers that claim that 22GB was neccessary for Motorstorm or that one Killzone 2 level "couldn't possibly" have been less than 2GB.

Where they to make the same sentence in an honest context, it would go more like "you couldn't possibly make a KZ2 level with less than 2GB, unless of course you compressed the data, which we couldn't do because Sony's PR department said not to." 

 

Naughty Dog claimed that Uncharted used 22GB and everything was compressed.
