Of course claiming it takes up 80 gigs is equally ludicrous as the disc can only hold 50 gigs of information, and it probably wasn't filed all the way as Konami was trying to get it to fit on a single layer disc for the longest time. If you are going to make up facts at random at least try and make them sound realistic." Gnizmo, MGS 4 took up 80 gigs of blu-ray space. It filled one complete layer and half of another. And yes, blu-ray, Garnet, by itself makes the PS3 more powerful and better suited for cinematic games than is the 360 because blu-ray video is a dramatically superior video format to dvd. You can't have any movies that look as good on dvd as they do on blu-ray. MGS 4, Heavy Rain, Uncharted, Final Fantasy XIII are all cinematic games that depend upon videos to move their stories along. These videos are movie files that are presented in a much higher quality on blu-ray discs than they are on dvds. |
Again I am going to ask you to make your random facts that have no basis at least sound realistic. A single layer blu-ray disc holds 25 gigs of information. A dual layer disc (what MGS4 was printed on) can only hold 50 gigs at best. It is literally impossible for MGS4 to take up only one disc and be an 80 gig file. Also, there is nothing that prevents the data from being put onto a DVD. It is a simple matter of too little disc space to put a lot of it on there.
