Ahh this is good. I was starting to get worried that the delay rumors were going to turn out to be true.
I knew this game was going to be bigger than GT3, but hearing that its over 9gigs is just insane.

" The game makes use of a dual layered DVD, totaling, Yamauchi revealed, over nine gigabytes of data."
good luck on the PSP port Polyphony.
Isn't 9 GIG a bit mad? If there are 6 cars racing, they + 1 track need to be in 32MB PS2 memory.
Say the track is 10MB, each car is 3MB, so 28MB - plus program, physics etc.
Something like 600 cars? How many tracks - 200? thats still only 4GB.

GT cars aren't even remotely close to 3MB, try 800-1MB, and probably less then half of that on the disc (Though on the flipside they have different models for menus etc, that take extra disc space).mrklaw said:
And PS2 free memory is at 28MB after you substract the program alone. After you subtract other stuff like physics etc. you'll have a lot less space left
Anyway, the bigger disc space wasters are probably FMV and music data, followed by data duplication to optimize load times.
Well I seriously doubt they completely fill a DVD9 - GT3 was on DVD5 and the actual data (not the padding) turned out to fill only around 60-70% of the disc IIRC.
One disc will likely be tough though - depends just how much data duplication there is on PS2 disc. You could sacrifice some load speed for more efficient disc usage.
I don't think it would be a problem to fit on two discs without cutting content. Consider that both music and movies will take less space on PSP (better compression + lower resolution). And game graphics will be taking up less space too.mrklaw said:

Some composed for the game some licensed. They got a group called T-SQUARE and an orchestra to redo Moon Over the Castle. They're going to have classical music in it (to go with the older cars) also. This label created some songs for GT4:

If you've played or heard the songs in Prologue they're the ones that did that.
Also Van Halen is on the soundtrack.
