kind of wild to think, the largest N64 games were 64 MB
All of Ocarina of Time? fits in a 32 megabyte cart
Resident Evil 2? less than 64 megabytes
@Felthry RE2 was a lot of work compressing the sound and videos especially
the PlayStation version is on two 700MB CDs (though it would've fit on one)
@noiob Huh, why'd they put it on two then? Just to make it seem like there was more content than there was, or just because they didn't realize it'd fit on one or something?
@Felthry there was some mistake that forced them to use two, and also it made the game look cooler I think, with one disc per character (I think they even had portraits on them)
@Felthry neat! RE2 basically has the discs as the character select screen, you play the story from the pov of the character you choose, then you pop in the other disc and play it again to find out what the other person's been up to (you have to do a lot of the same puzzles again but eh, the game isn't that long anyways)
@Felthry so the discs contain basically the same room and texture files but different sound files (it's fully voiced)
