Skyrim Fits On One DVD

[uzo]

Yeah .. damnit .. I'm gonna have to upgrade my PC for this. Got PS3 but 1st person games suck serious donkey balls on consoles.

Well, personally for me it makes no difference if it's on 1 disk or 3 since I'm going to grab the PC version anyway. But nice stuff all the same. Also, isn't the whole dinamic filter thing not so new? I kinda though that Unreal Engine 3 does that. The latest Crytek engine too.

lol I'm probably just going to defeat their compression accomplishment with 100 gigs worth of mods on the PC anyways.

Wow, I'm really looking forward to only having to put one disc in, rather than two. It'll save me an entire five seconds, since I'm on a PC and don't need to worry about the number of discs. Oh, and the game will load 3 times faster than on 360.

Just pointing out how this improvement is an unnecessary one if you have a PC.

.......

You know what? Screw Bethesda's flimsy explanation, it's time to get the pitch forks and torches out cause they're blatantly using witchcraft.

Burn the heretics!

no, no, no, you're doing it wrong.
It's:

'Yay for heretics!

hip hip!

HURRAH!

Ha, playing this on consoles? Oblivion wasn't even remotely bearable without mods crammed right up its rear end.

Except that it was, it was extremely bearable, i might even call it fantastic
Mods don't appeal to me, I want a game made by developers

 

[Macrobstar]

Why do consoles not have decent hard drives? There's no excuse for anyone to ever have to change disks during gameplay, regardless of what platform they're using. It's not the '80s any more.

PS3 doesn't have to change disks, its just xbox
Plus my ps3 hard drive is 500GB

 

[LogicNProportion]

...That won't mean I need 8 gigs free on my ECKS BAWX hard-drive, will it?

Cuz if so, I am ROYALLY boned.

I also dislike mods. I disliked OblIVion more. Much more. Not as much as I disliked Borderlands, but close.

They should be able to make the game under 1GB if they used more advanced techniques.
.kkreiger managed to get these graphics for an FPS level:

Spoiler: Spoiler'd for size

In less than 200kb.

Hmm, that's pretty awesome, but it appears that storing the data that way means the computer has to reconstruct every object and retexture it every time it loads an area, which for a FPS corridor shooter leads to an "Extensive loading time" I shudder to think how it would handle generating a progressive sandbox game like Skyrim, I don't know, I'm just speculating without proper figures, but there definitely seems to be several ways of compressing large amounts of detail without compromising quality, and as soon as someone cracks it with no drawbacks games will get a lot more interesting.

Whats a DvD? Skyrim will be on SEVERAL disks (HDD disks that is).
