| JRPGfan said: I just checked like 20 games, and most common size is 3gb+. I have a hard time believeing that the avg size was less than 1GB as you claim. GC 1.5GB limit was a huge issue, and a bad hardware design choice from nintendo. It wasnt a exaggeration, or excuse, it was a real issue. |
Well too bad the are over a thousand games, here's also a note for yourself some games that were released on GC just fine were bigger in size on PS2 like Timesplitters and Killer 7 for instance because a lot of data was left uncompressed or the way the programing on the PS2 is when written on disc (Killer 7 is 2.2GB on PS2 for example yet was developed for GC first and fits on a single layer just fine I think it's only 1 GB on GC), RE4 also took up more space on PS2 because they used video files instead of in engine cutscenes not sure why though I'm guessing PS2 had an issue with it. Most of the larger games hover at the 1-1.5GB mark as well with many games well capable on fitting on a dual layered disc and I wonder if they're only that size because of them being on the PS2 tbh because as seen with many multiplatform games they were bigger on PS2 then on GC and Xbox, examples of games below 1gb are Dark Cloud, Deus Ex, everquest, each disc of DMC2, GTA3, Grandia, Half-life, Hitman 2, Indigo Prophecy, Jak and Daxter, Max Payne 1 and 2 and so on.
