Resistance : Fall Of Man Currently 22GB!!!

[HDGamer]

Yes I said 22 Gigabytes. Insomniac's much hyped horror/alien 1950s shooter is currently taking up 22GB of Blu-Ray's space. The whole story can be found here.

The 22GBs of space is mostly taken up by the game's high, big textures, level data, programming code, etc. The sound data currently takes up 1GB.

Schneider offered some distinguishing stats (which he called MTV News on Tuesday to further clarify). The game, he said, currently takes up 22 Gigabytes of memory on a Blu-Ray disc, the new disc format supported by the PS3 that is one-half of a VHS-vs.-Betamax format war erupting between tech companies throughout the year. While the music and vocals in "Resistance" take up only about 1 Gigabyte of disc space, graphics, level data and programming code occupy most of the remaining 21.

"We're going to fit more on a Blu-Ray disc than you could on an HD DVD," he said, referring to the competing format, which in its most basic discs can't hold more than 15 GB. More numbers: 40-player online matches at launch; 60 levels of player progression while playing online; two-player offline co-op. Phillips promised better, deeper support than any Xbox Live launch title.

So it seems like the PS3 games will be using up the space of Blu-Ray disks. Here are some new screens



The level of detail and graphic are insanely high



The level of detail in this guy's face is truely unbelievable








These guys seem like suicide bombers



Also note that these were taken from June/July and before the polishing went in.

In my opinion, Blu-Ray seems like it will be the biggest advantage that the
PS3 will have over the 360 considering that the textures will be uncompressed or less compressed, higher bigger textures, bigger level code, programming code, sound, etc.

But this suprises me considering that this is a FPS(though the graphics are jaw dropping), so I wonder how much space FFXIII will take. A game that cannot be done on the 360.

Here is a new video on Resistance: Fall Of Man(though the image quality is horrible, noise, blurriness, etc.).
