Sorry if posted but a couple of new Demos Up which seem pretty new (either that or they are very old and rehosted by IGN? on youtube)

It'll be much bigger than that once modded

I feel that I have seen those videos 12 times too many.

It just seems everyone on Youtube are just re-uploading it to their channel for hits/subs.

Note this on the Bethesda blog, that no doubt someones already mentioned here:
Updated: We’ve seen plenty of comments relating to the game only requiring six gigs of HDD space. Don’t worry… there’s still a ton of game in there. The total HDD space relates more to the compression opitmizations we’re able to do with The Creation Engine. Not only are do we think you’ll be impressed with how the game looks, but also how much faster it runs..

I don't get why people are concerned about the size of the game - Star Wars Unleashed was 28Gb with nothing to show for it. Gamers are such a bunch of whiners tbh.

LeJosh · 9 Nov 2011 at 08:47

The voice acting and other audio was uncompressed I believe. Don't think there was 16k textures on there.

Was clicking through Stumbleupon when this popped up

Aedus · 9 Nov 2011 at 09:00

I don't mind the file size, but I was a tad concerned when I saw it was only 5.1gigs, considering the scale that the game is supposed to be on. But I'll hold my faith.

Glad to hear the pre load is available.

I'm a bit ****** off they release 3 great games within a week (cod,bf & this)
Looks like I have to quit work for a few months

Beasty · 9 Nov 2011 at 09:03

Oblivion was actually smaller I believe.

Shamikebab · 9 Nov 2011 at 09:05

38 hours, 56 minutes...

bhavv · 9 Nov 2011 at 09:29

Oblivion was only 4.3 gb installed lol. People worry far too much over nothing, Install size means NOTHING.

Just phone gamestation up to swap my MW3 order to Skyrim - no midnight opening and the PS3 version is £49.99 and 360 is £54.99 at the moment. They do seem to have the CE guides in though.

Ah well have a gift card to use.
