I came here before I bought it and I am glad I did as now I see its a 30gig download, now I know what you are thinking 'kid got no intenets' or whatever.the truth however, is much worse.
I've never played a game that looks as good as Max Payne 3 on PC, and it plays great too. I believe Bink was selected due to its low requirements which prevent skipping and stuttering from occuring while loading other data during a video clip. Unfortunately, the game uses Bink which results in massive file sizes in order to reach decent quality. On the consoles, these videos were presented at 1280x720 but, for the PC version, they actually provided 1920x1080 video clips. While most of the games cutscenes are realtime, they use a lot of video between missions to mask loading points.

It's a neat experience and handles the transition between cinematic and gameplay better than just about anything else out there. There's a lot of visual variety in the game, however, and loads of animation data that no doubt eats up space.Ī lot of people ♥♥♥♥♥ about the cinematic nature of the game but I think it works great in this particular instance. The rest is composed entirely of game data. Of that 30gb only 8gb is reserved for movie files and another 3gb for audio. That said, the game itself is still massive. In addition, the game sports higher resolution textures and some other improved assets which no doubt eat up some space.
Typical console ports would just stick with lower resolution video but they actually went out of their way to provide higher quality clips. I'm surprised to see anyone complain about the size simply because it's the result of releasing a good PC port.
