The same could be said about small areas if they want each corridor to have a unique look it would still take more textures.

The size of these games are atrocious when other games have high res textures that are incredibly detailed, realistic graphics, lush environments with download and install sizes far less than these gimmicky idtech5 games. I was just saying it isn't going to be a 50GB download for a 41GB install and that the Steam download is usally smaller even if a GB or few less. I don't know how many different textures this game will have and I don't think it will be a terribly long game that many different textures would need to be used. There's also more open areas in Rage from what I could tell. The Wasteland in Rage is huge or at least much larger than the areas that will be in this game. Originally posted by Iwantedpotatosbutgotfrenchspies:^ But larger areas need more textures if they want to detail those areas differently and can't re-use textures. I think it was around 30-35 gb if I recall correctly. It was slightly compressed, but not by much. Wolfenstein: TNO was not that large of a download, even with the day 1 patch. I suspect it will be the same for Evil Within.

While you are normally right Wolfenstein the New Order (which also uses the Rage engine) was about 43 GB of which you had to download the entire thing. The game would be compressed for downloading and unpacked once complete, Steam downloads are typically much smaller than the installed size. We won't know for sure until the game becames available for pre-loading but I doubt it's going to be as large as a 50GB download. Rage was a 21GB download so this will probably be around the same.

This is using the same engine as Rage and doesn't appear to have large open areas. Steam download is likely going to be anwhere in the neighborhood of 15GB to 25GB. I'm sure at least 50GB free space on hdd is required with an installed size of 41GB. Originally posted by Iwantedpotatosbutgotfrenchspies:^likely not totally correct.
