Hopefully not too much. At least the 360 got the new disc format with 1 GB more space.

Now it remains to be seen if the PC version with the higher detail textures also uses only one DVD...(Edit: Of course if the game is a Steamworks game then more content can be downloaded from Steam)

Everything except the FedEx quests.

I don't necessarily see this as a good thing, it speaks volumes about the size of the game and the amount of compression involved in fitting it all on one disc. Makes me think of the whole class learning at the same speed as the slowest student.

Simple answer is Skyrim will be reusing assets a lot like trees and rocks. Games like Dead Space 2 have more unique, yet linear levels that all have unique assets to those levels. So in short, Skyrim has less 3D assets, textures, special animations, etc.

Ah, that makes sense. :biggrin:
Thanks for the enlightenment.

The last game I played that required two CD's to play was Syphon Filter on the PS1.....

Mine was LOTR third age on the GC. What a game.

I would have been suprised if it wasn't on one disc, but that still begs the question; why is Skyrim on one disc but a game like Dead Space 2 not? (OTsh). Unless it has something to do with this new disc design thing I've read very little about.

Dead Space devs probably weren't going out of their way to be efficient with disk space

This was confirmed months ago.

L.A. Noire was 3 DVDs, Mass Effect 2 was 2.

Didn't see that one comin'. I don't think Bethesda would ever pull an L.A. Noire (great game btw) And plus that's what DLC is for.

I packed my LA Noire off to Ebay, couldn't be bothered to finish it.
