So How Big is Gran Turismo 5?

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.

Gran Turismo 5 is Gold

Gran Turismo 5 is Gold

 

It was a bit of sad new a while ago when Sony noted Gran Turismo 5 had been delayed. While not exactly confirmed, sources say it was to include a new firmware update on the disc due to hackers breaking PS3. Thanks guys....

Well no worries! While it was hard to say the game was still releasing this year, we can almost count on it now. According to a recent comment from Kazunori at SEMA (an auto world show) the discs have gone gold. When asked when the game will release he simply stated "the discs are being stamped as we speak." In other words it has gone gold!

So look for GT5 to have another official release date real soon, hopefully this month!
