SF2 for SNES was 24 megaBITS probably. Seeing as the SNES didn't support 24 megaBYTE cartridges, and that the arcade versions (with far superior details in every way) weren't even 16 megabytes...

wasn't referring to snes (my reply is also in reference to a n64 game, but i wasn't referring to a n64 cartridge either)..... but anyway

My point is Goldeneye is a simple game and with 100MB file size wasnt the issue, it was something else, and you are completely wrong.

Better?

here's the article imbro was referring to:
http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3166495

the article describes how Bionic Commando Rearmed, a remake of the NES game released on PSN and XBL, suffers on the 360 due to the file size cap.

IF Goldeneye were to be a remake, with improved everything (models/textures etc.) then it is quite easy to see how Goldeneye would be too large.

however, you were right and it does seem that licensing issues are the cause.

i was wrong about the liscense agreements, i'll admit that. The point I was getting at is that regardless of how you look it, hd textures mixed with goldeneye gameplay would never fall under the 100mb cap. Seeing as how you think you are the end all be all at videogame knowledge, have at it. 2 other equally as small games have been mentioned that exceeded the cap, but apparently your knowledge is more vast than the devs that had worked on the other games. So let's see it, put your "wisdom" where your mouth is. Afterall, it's only a "simple" game.

Appearantly you can't see the difference. 2d game with sprites at 252x224x8bit color to a 3d game running at 1280x720x32 bit color = huge difference. 2d game running at 252x224x8bit color to a 2d game running at 1280x720x32bit color = huge difference.

3d game to 3d game = everything is the same except the textures. Even assuming you up the textures 120 times, with texture compression, it still should easily fit in 100MB. Even assuming you up the models in the game by 10 times the poly count, thats a few megs of data.
