XBox Live Arcade Size Limit Broken Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Capcom has announced that two of their upcoming XBox Live Arcade titles will set a new size record for the downloadable game store. Last year Microsoft upped the limit from 50 megs to 150 megabytes for each game and released a new 512 MB memory card. Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix will be designed to take advantage of the full 1080P resolution, and Bionic Commando Rearmed will also feature special high res textures. Final sizes have not been announced, but both should come in at more than 150 megs. For the time being, other games will still be held to the existing limit, but it's a good bet that the bar will continue to rise as more higher res Live Arcade games are released. Amazingly, Wing Commander Arena was just 42.03 megabytes.
The last thing I’ll mention is concerning the talks the have been occurring online concerning the filesize of the game with respect to features on the 360 and the PS3 versions. I can officially say that the filesize will not be an issue. With great help from the guys at Microsoft, we will be able to offer the same features on both platforms to the same quality as each other.
