So How Big is Gran Turismo 5?

 

Since the beginning of time, mankind has waited for the release of Gran Turismo 5. Ok, well maybe not since the beginning of time, but it's been a while. Gran Turismo 5 is finally releasing on Wednesday 24th November, and inevitably it has been leaked on to the internet beforehand.

So how big is this game? God of War 3 was approximately 40GB in size, and a game like Gran Turismo 5, which has over 1000 cars and tons of levels and gameplay modes must be just as big right?

Wrong, the game is approximately 19.5GB in size, still too big for a DVD, but I'm guessing everyone expected it to be bigger than that. The small size can however be explained easily if the game is using more shaders rather than textures, because the cars don't necessarily need to be textured, and a shader actually looks more natural.
