Yeah but smaller is never better.....While bigger can be potentially better... I just finished infamous SS in around 10 hours with 100% (not yet all trophies though) very small world... then again it is seattle and not New York..

Yeah but that's an issue of content, not size.

Yeah but content normally increase when the size of the world gets bigger....They could put all the story related stuff on the first part of I:SS and put the big tower aswell in it and then you do around 7 hours to reach 100%...

Even though the next gen consoles have an increased amount of disk space, the consoles will not have huge worlds this generation. Because games run at a higher resolution, open world games will have a hard time because they will not have enough disk space.

Titanfall is an FPS, the game takes up 40 Gigs on Xbox One because the shooter has a higher resolution than the 360 version (6 Gigs ish). A game like grand theft auto 5 running at the same resolution as titanfall (X1) version would probably take up 80 GIGs this generation!

Either games need to be tweaked to run more effecient or this gen is screwed because of disk space!

The Upside to this is if you are playing an open world game I believe loading times will pretty much disappear and be hidden in the background like Dead rising 3!

I really hope rockstar can make game worlds twice as big as GTA5/Red Dead Redemption and have them run smoother and at a higher resolution but we will see!

Doesn't work that way.

The vast majority of Blu-Ray disc space is used for uncompressed audio. If you need more space, just compress it. The difference in quality is neglectable.
The second big part is high res FMVs. Solution: ingame cutscenes.

Skyrim is 6GB on PC, even with the high res texture pack it's barely above 10GB.
Just Cause 2, which has a map over 20 times the size of Skyrim, is only 5GB on PC.

I think the witcher 3 and GTA VI has a good chance to blow our minds away but I agree that most games wont really get any bigger

Well, they can always use two or more blu-ray discs. I created a topic asking wich will be the first game to have more than one disc. I think games like Final Fantasy XV and GTA 6 are the best contenders.

the problem is, that all the games have to be installed onto the HDD

There are already games announced that have bigger game worlds than last gen, including one that has by far the biggest game world of all times.

You don't need a lot of disk space if you re-use your assets.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I agree, but do I care? No. GTA V's map feels for the most part dead to me, if it was smaller but those areas would have been done better, the map would have been better IMO.

Yeah but smaller is never better.....While bigger can be potentially better... I just finished infamous SS in around 10 hours with 100% (not yet all trophies though) very small world... then again it is seattle and not New York..

Yeah but that's an issue of content, not size.

Yeah but content normally increase when the size of the world gets bigger....They could put all the story related stuff on the first part of I:SS and put the big tower aswell in it and then you do around 7 hours to reach 100%...

Actually, content usually decreases as the size of a world increases, since you need more of it to fill the world up.
