August seems pretty quiet for ios, had a few quiet weeks already with not as many releases.

Start freeing up space!

that was in the '90s though. i'm sure there are much better compression methods now than there were then.

I agree that when it was released on 5 cd roms (so was that 640 meg x 5 ?) it doesnt mean the iOS version will be 3 gig.

But i cant see the uncompressed version being less than a gig on iOS, hope it will be but cant see it. Seems its quite common for these 'big name' games nowadays to be 1.5 gig or so on iOS, dont think theres been one over 2 gig though has there ? Think Bards Tale was 1.7.

We're projecting around 1.2G for iPad. Just to be sure, try and save 1.5G, you know how projections can go.

We're shrinking the install size of the game through compression. Codecs have come a long way in the last 12 years.

You missed out the word 'arrogant' - probably a bug in your lossless compression algorithm or something ;-)

Well, I guess my answer is a bit more informative than the lush "not really", arrogant or not.

Hi Trent, A bit worried about the sudden reappearence of Black Isle Studios,will this hinder the release of Balders Gate EE for the ipad? I really hope not.

[Bool Zero]

Good question! I didn't know they resurrected! I think that these dudes already had the legal rights though, so I don't think it will be an issue!
