1. The above quote is the single most ridiculous thing I've ever read. Are you saying that Microsoft, which is a company with a viable game console on the market, is supposed to NOT get games just so you don't think they're greedy? So if you were Microsoft, you would have turned down an opportunity to have GTAIV on your console? Get a frickin' clue, buddy. 2. To the dougsdad guy: No, concessions are not always made to fit the game on a DVD when they're made for both consoles. That's probably the SECOND most ridiculous thing I've ever read. Not every company that makes every game is looking to fill a BluRay disc up with content. To assume that is to highly overestimate the game industry. |
Whether or not you believe content is sacrificed, other things such as compression of sound files, textures, etc. is certainly an issue. Another factor is variety of textures and sound files. Rather than repeating them, there can be more unique ones. I agree that not every game needs to fill a BD. In fact, most games don't need to yet, but to insist that the exact same decisions are made with 9 gigs of available space as are made with 50 gigs is the real misunderstanding of the industry. May I remind you that there was a time when nobody thought any developer would fill a DVD?
Keep this in mind when reading what I type...
I've been gaming longer than many of you have been alive.
