Alien: Isolation - A Big Big Download

Alien: Isolation is due out next week - the original film is one of my favourites and this game does look to have good gameplay as well as being an excellent visual reproduction of the Nostromo (and I now have a new graphics card so that I will be able to play it) - anyone pre-ordered it or intending to get it?

However, the game size is 35GB - even with compression that's going to be a rather large download. Are there any other games as big or bigger than that?

Just started downloading it and it's 14.6GB - so not nearly as big as I expected.

14.6 GB is the download size, and 35GB is the install size, which is the space needed on your hard drive. Titan fall is a 21GB download with a 48GB install size.
BF4 is an actual 40GB download with all the DLC so far, with an extra 6GB when final stand DLC comes out.

I downloaded the game from Steam and the total install size is 23.73GB, all contained in the folder within Steam\steamapps\common in Program Files (x86) - and I've searched for other folders but can't find any. I wonder what you have that I don't?
