| leo-j said: @starcraft sony can compress Why did they fit god of war2 on a dvd?!?! They probably didnt even waste time compressing seeing as its a 25gb disc, and the space is their to use, but because of that they made the mistake of making the game short. |
Selnor is right. GoW2 had much simpler textures and it fitted onto a dvd easy. Also, dont u think giving people only $10/hour of gameplay if you purchase the game at full price is a bit of a MAJOR oversight? This on top of them saying that Motorstorm took 22gigabytes? If that game took that much then yes they are incompetent compressors. And then there is Killzone 2 which is marginally better looking than Gears of War. They reckon its 2gb a level, but gears of war had about a couple of dozen chapters and it still fitted on a single disk, PLUS multiplayer. You could say that this is all them just "using up the disk," except they are saying it cant be done on the 360 because of space limitations, which is actually read "we at Sony do not have the levels of compression proficiency neccessary to place this game on a single disk."
If i were you i'd be hoping that Killzone 2's single-player is substantially larger than Gears' because if its not Sony's "blu-ray is neccessary for gaming" line is going to ring fairly hollow, as will the hole in your wallet where the extra $200 blu-ray cost you used to be
starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS
