A lot of good gamer nerd info here: Why Killzone Shadow Fall is almost 40GB (it used to be 290...)
Love this stuff about emphasis and steps taken to eliminate load times:
Haven't had a chance to read the rest of it, but some good information on how download + playing works, you'll need to download 7.5gb of Killzone's 40gb install in order to start playing, that'll get you the infrastructure and first level it looks like.

Whether played from hard disc or Blu-ray, van der Leeuw is particularly proud of how fast and seamlessly the game loads; it's been a pet project for the tech director, who hates how slow modern games have become to operate. Guerrilla has completely eliminated in-game load times after an initial 30 seconds, and removed all logos and splash screens from the game's start-up routine. It may take a while to download Killzone Shadow Fall, but once you have it, the game comes to you very quickly indeed.

We had to ask legal and Dolby, the epilepsy warning stuff, the logos from Havok - we had to negotiate with them that we could put it in the credits and not the title screen... All the rules are built around the previous generation. I'm really happy that we're one of the first ones in, and I hope it's an example that people are going to follow.
