More likely to happen with a less highly rated title first (e.g. the next Red Faction) as it would be more suitable as a guinea pig. GTA V is not the type of release to mess about and try something new and untested with.


You are wrong their considering the Red Faction franchise is finished.

Stuff like this won't ever happen, games will get larger and so the chance of download only is impossible. Next gen gamers will expect even more from their games so games going 50+ GB will not be that hard to see. Rage is 25gb on the PC and from what i heard the high res texture pack is 100GB?

That sounds like BS to me. 


i don't think we wil see download only titles the next years but i think it's not really a problem to download a 50gb game with bigger harddrives. what's the problem with that? for example i have super slow internet so for me it would be a problem but i'm really an exception with where i live . i only have 500kbit and i still downloaded bioshock 2 few days ago for example. maybe 10% have the same problem i have and even less in a few years.

if i would have a rate like all my friends a 50gb game would be really no problem. sure it would take like 5 hours, maybe ten don't see the problem here?

Michael Pachter actually gives the best explanation as to why this won't happen.

it is not possible that GTA V is digital download only, ZERO probability. 40% of 360s sold have 20Gb or smaller HDD

Good thing this isn't going to happen since I would never buy GTAV if it was digital-only.


Wow... Pachter actually making sense.  I must be dreaming.

After seeing the new trailer...

Good luck dowloading a billion gigs, because that's what this game is going to be.

that would suck i hope we never get DD only theres other things to consider that this may interfere with like rental services, people with no or slow internet (even with pretty decent speeds i wouldnt want to wait for 20-40GB to download, what about IP providers dont some have a cap of how many GB you can dled a month?)

hope gta tuns out well though 4 kinda sucked, so far it looks good b/c they went to SA i always like SA better than VC it really has every type of environment, i would like for R* to take advantage of the blu ray even if it means that 360 owners would get multiple disks as seen with LA nore, rage and BF3

I was more using Red Faction as an example. And out of curiousity have they actually confirmed that or is that just assumed as Armageddon was a sales flop?

lol gta is one of those games they go all out in packaging. why wouldn't they include a disc?

this is bad, even by the standards of gaming 'analysts'
