Thats actually interesting.

Very interesting.

This is indeed very interesting.
Good to see the difference in sizes for the Meshes, sound, and textures

Wooot:

It seems that PC players will ahve much better Models? [Because the Meshes.bsa is as twice as large as the XBOX file...]
And nearly 4 times bigger Soundfiles?
+ ~400MB better Textures...

thats indeed interesting

But voices are slightly larger on the 360. Weird.

That page uses the plural term "consoles" when, in fact, the PS3 version's file sizes are different from the 360's...

Proof of the supposed better PC textures?

Where's the list for the PS3? Thanks.

because it was packed into two different files^^ - thats why there are some MB more.. thats just the file itself.

You can see where PC file compression is better than Xbox file compression. That is why some of those PC numbers are smaller than the Xbox ones (the files uncompressed would likely be exactly the same size).
The ones that really count are where the PC has a massive difference, add the compression ratio into that and the difference increases (ie the PC file with Xbox compression would be larger still).

I've got no idea. All I know is the PS3 has a different install size from both the 360 and the PC and to find out why, I would assume one would need a PS3 disc. Where did the lists for the 360 and PC come from?

Size matters meme switched to hardware....that is amusing.

» Mon May 07, 2012 10:41 pm

Interesting. The meshes & texture differences sound promising. Thanks for sharing.

Anyone know what "Misc" would be?

360 leak and steam pre-load. I just though you had a link that's all, wanted to have a gander at the differences.

Nope. All I can say is the PS3 version has an overall install size of 5.5 gbs.

It's hard to compress Jeremy Soule's awesomeness?

Nice to see that the PC version also has higher quality models and sound effects as well as textures.
