18GB sounds pretty reasonable for todays games...

Crysis was around that size too i reckon, i think Stalker was like 11 or 12... Agoe Of Conan i rememeber is about 20GB...

For a huge Game like GTA4, it's not all that surprising to me that it reached this amount :)

Remember GTA4 has multiple radiostations and complete TV-shows you can watch. No wonder the game is huge.

Age of Conan is 30Gb I heard. Also, the requirements include a DVD-drive that supports dual layers. 18Gb isn't that much, I have here Silverfall Earth Awakening that takes in 11Gb.

Ah yes, thought it was somewhere around the 20-30 mark...
But it's becoming pretty normal these days... I wouldn't be surprised seeing new disc formats replacing the regular DVD for games in the near future (Bluray discs i guess..?)

At some point I'm sure, but remember that games such as UT2004 were still shipped on 7 CDs for the US market! (Us lucky Europeans got DVDs.) These sorts of changeovers take a while!

UT2K4 uses compressed data on the DVD/install medium.

Age of Conan may not have to be on more than 1 DVD simply because of compression. That doesn't do much for installing but it keeps the install medium simple.

It's just to bad Rockstar fumbled the GTA4 port so badly.

On a tech forum i usually visit,
a guy has a Quad Core proceccer oc'd to 4ghz and 4GTX280's in SLI

His only getting 30 fps
and for some reason GTA IV doesnt support SLI at the moment.

thats bullshit
its like they didnt even attempt to optimise it or make a proper port...

Looks like I'll be forced to upgrade sometime soon... gonna be a while though. I meet all the minimum requirements but the CPU. My video card is DX9, but it is 512M with all the newest shaders.... I can't afford to play PC games anymore I don't think. lol

Looks like the patches have made performance somewhat better.

A Mate of mine has a core i7 920, 6GB DDR3 and a GTX295.
Using -norestriction with everything on very high and drawdistance etc set to 100 he gets 57fps average in the benchmark.

I see a lot of complaints on Amazon about GTA IV and SR2 for the PC so far. I mean, I've tried both on the PC, and I'm more addicted to those versions than the console counterparts. Just that Rockstar and Volition, and the like just don't seem to want to give the PC versions the same love as the X360 versions, well, that's just discriminating on those who remain steadfast to the ol' keyboard and mouse, imo. My rig's been very able with those games, and don't notice the same trouble that most of those reviewers seem to have. Maybe I'm not as sensitive to the lag or something, I dunno.
