game size

[Massif]

Im hoping in the next couple years that games will start shifting towards DVD. If there are pre-rendered videos, they can be much better quality. If there aren't any videos, then there's a lot more room for other stuff. Screw multi-disc games. For once I'd like to play Riven or Exile without constantly swapping!

 

[DeathMark]

The 3 CDs will probably be for install. You wont need to swap any CDs while playing the actual game.

Ooooh, DVD
I'm getting the DVD, yes siree! DVD 0wnz *g*

Gabe said the Special Edition will be DVD ONLY.

It's all in the official Valve thread. Don't flame me. It's true...

Gabe did say in one interview that when they started making HL2, they were working with two sticks and a rock, but later upgraded to an abacus...

He's a wheeze, is our Gabe.:cheese:

It's strange but because of his avatar, i have this weird idea that chris looks like the Gman. lol:cheese:

 

[The hotdog man]

hmmm cd wise i'd have to say 3 - 4 cd's are resonable and dvd wise i'd have to say 1 but maybe 2 you never know.

 

[Murray_H]

2 DVDs? 8 gigs of game data.........thats a bit silly, bigger than some people's HDD

 

[Kamakiri]

No way it will be 2 dvd's.

Might be 2 DVD's in the Special edition though. One for the bonus making and stuff. Other for the game CD data...never know

 

[A2597]

I'm guessing 3-4 gigs, or one DVD.

(I. WANT. DVD. VERSION)

El_Chi thinks I look like the G-Man, what do you guys think?

 

[Animal]

Wow i was right!...:cheese:

Not even close. Maybe if you take up smoking for a few years, develop some wrinkles, and look sinister instead of smug.

 

[Animal]

I think the Gman is badass. He just looks like he doesn't give a shit about anything or anyone...

 

[Chris D]

That is very true... I'm not sinister enough. I've been smoking for 5 years... I'm only 17 :/ I feel like I'm 30, maybe I'll start getting wrinkles within the next few years as I approach the age of 40. Not literally of course.

I think it's just the suit that made el_chi think that.

 

[Chris D]

Oh and I DO look like I don't give a shit about anything, but just not in work photos.
