    Vince answered a Tweet earlier today regarding the size of Titanfall on PC. Take a look!

    There is no confirmation yet for the Xbox One/360 size, but how do you all feel regarding the new news? It's honestly much bigger than I thought it to be.

    Well that is A LOT bigger than I thought it was going to be. I was thinking it might be a 15-18GB d/l tops due to their being no cutscenes or SP campaign.

    I've got half a mind to cancel my digital version and order the physical copy because Australian internet download basically sucks and that would take days to download lol.

    I really hope now that they would tack on the rest of the game to the back-end of the beta client. That would seriously be a deal sweetener.

    This is a bunch more times bigger than I expected at first. Isn't this bigger than BF4?!

    I'm pretty sure its not that far off. From what friends have told me BF4 was around the 30gig mark.

    So it's pretty much 18GB bigger. That is if it actually is fully 48GB installed, with all the Music files and such (Music in beta was 7GB!!!)

    Yeah that's nuts. I'm going to have to start wiping a few old games to make room lol

    I really hope they open up the pre-load days out from release. Having hundreds of thousands of people trying to download 21GB simultaneously is a sure way to bottleneck the servers.

    If you're on PC, then pre-loading will most certainly be available for Titanfall.

    48 GB's for a game install like this is really ridiculous. For perspectives sake, I have a massively modded Skyrim installation where almost the entire game has been replaced with 2k & 4k resolution textures AND another +150 mods. Some of which add new lands... Total install size? 33 GB's.

    Battlefield 3 with ALL dlc? 34 GB's.
    Crysis 3? 15 GB's.
    Mass Effect 3 with all dlc? 20 Gigs.
    Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition? 18 Gigs.
    Arkham City GOTY? 18 Gigs.

    Titanfall, a game with no single player or cutscenes (as far as we know)... 48 Gigabytes? Bwuah? Either those textures are all being saved in raw uncompressed format or the game is using a TON of extra space to try to hide itself from pirates. Good thing I'm not hard up for space on my terabyte drive.

    You and me both, friend. I was honestly shocked to see Vince say 48GB's. I was thinking in the realm of 25-30. However, I'm excited to see if there is anything secret we don't know about that is causing such a large size for the game.

    Wow. Now I'm actually kinda glad I ordered the physical DVD version.
    The down side is of course I have to wait for it to be delivered.
    But if I need to re-install at some point it will make things easier.

    Hopefully this means the game files are not compressed, allowing for faster loading.

    That's awesome for you NA guys. Unfortunately for me, Origin wont let me preload until the 11th of March as our release isn't until the 13th. :(

    Kind of weird when you think about it, considering we're all getting digital copies from the same source lol

    I'm sure the encrypted preload files will be out there somewhere in the ether on the 7th. As long as there's no region-specifics on the files themselves (probably are, green blood for Germans, etc.) you might be able to use them.

    At 21GB/48GB installed maybe it comes in multi-lingual/region form. :D
