| slowmo said: @ Feylic - The mulitple disk comment was simply to illustrate how few games have exceeded DVD capacity this generation. It was a pathetic attempt by a previous poster to bring the topic off course. It's strange how every comparison in real world terms shows the 360 DVD drive to stream quicker than the Bluray drive in the 360 yet we get the same people spreading misinformation. Why do people think GTAIV has a mandatory installation on PS3, its because it would suffer far worse than the 360 did from pop in if it didn't. Time and time again we read mathematical estimates of how Bluray is better, the vast vast majority of real world games show this not to be the case. |
Heres the problems I have with what you are saying...
1: What "real world terms" and misinformation are you talking about?
2: Why didn't burnout paradise have an install? It's open world
3: For starters on your last point, I won't say the ps3's drive is better, just that it's by no means worse than the 360. I think the point you're are missing is that these "mathematical estimates" are potential values, rather than given ones. All people are saying (at least I think) is that the ps3 bluray drive has the potential to be just as good, if not better in some aspects, than the 360's drive. It's up to the developers to design their game such that it uses the drive to it's full potential. Just because many developers take the easy way out and install the game, doesn't mean the drive is worse.
