and that is the initial size. mentioned he expects a stream of large sized patches to follow as content is added. guess we'll be driving a drive just for the one game.
Just looking at the PAX East presentation, this game is going to absolutely crush GPUs. Using Direct Compute to simulate realistic impacts & damage system for all the ships? Damn nice. Models are ridiculous detailed!
No doubt.
Wandering through the RSI forums, there are several (many?) posts alluding to people pledging and then finding out their systems can't run the modules today. I know I shouldn't, but I can't help but laugh. Chris says he wants to build a game that pushes hardware to its limits. I don't think he's lying!
"Fly any ship" week is up right now. As a Mustang Alpha pilot the F7CM is quite an eye-opener.
unless all of a sudden 200+GB caps become the norm within 3 years.
Did we have caps now?
I have 75/75 connection with no caps.
It would take about 3 hours to download 100Gb, not really a big deal for me. Though I can certainly see how it will be problematic for some people I dont think it's as many as you think.

I hope they let us turn some of these gpu crushing options off. I know Chris wants too "push hardware to its limits" but I hope he keeps in mind that not everyone can afford that.

At 100GB you are alienating a large segment of the market, or maybe that's moot, considering how they already kind of alienated a large portion of gamers with their ridiculous system requirements.
These guys are going to kill their revenue stream at launch, I don't see how this game takes off unless all of a sudden 200+GB caps become the norm within 3 years.
They arn't planning on being entirely a digital download. Plenty of pledge levels are receiving the game in a retail box, which means they are making a retail box and plan to have it in stores for the initial bulk install. That said, I don't see them putting 25 DVD's into a box, but 2 blu-ray discs are possible.
