Originally posted by:I'd say that might be from the uncompressed backgrounds. All the backgrounds in this game are pre-rendered at high resolutions, most likely without compression. Extremely doubtful. Art assets are usually what ends up taking the least amount of space. And considering the terrible quality of most of the FMVs, I'm going to guess that it's not those either since they seem ripped straight from the GC version. Usually what ends up leading to disgustingly huge filesizes is uncompressed audio, so that's what I'm betting on.
I wish they would give you the option to download 2 versions, one with compressed audio and one without, because honestly to me it's not worth the space on my hard drive just for that. Originally posted by:17gigs = PC cutscenes stored in 3 different quality levels.
