GTA 5 is said to be 50 GB. The clear line ? I'm gonna guess it is a combination of how smart you use assets, and re-use them in a smart way. ( Silly fact, on the NES, super mario bros used the same sprites for both clouds and bushes ) and voice-acting. Aswell as 1 time use heavy cut-scenes that only get used 1 time. In GTA 4 virtually all cut-scenes were pretty much all real-time. I hear Destiny uses pre-rendered cut-scenes ( stuff like that tanks bytesizes ). I sadly do not know anything about the cut-scenes in Shadow of Mordor though. Still I rather see that the gaming industry can work it's way and ( hopefully ) create ( more ) actual good titles, instead of holding them back by hard drive space issues and/or people whom complain tha they can't put the game they want to play on their SSD.
