My point isn't that DVD-9 is automatically just as good, it's simply that using Blu-ray to take up more space isn't automatically better. The thing is that although Blu-ray gives you lots of extra size, the ways developers are using it are not increasing game content. That would require much more (and much more costly) development effort and no one, not even Sony, has shown willingness to put forth that effort. Also, you will never have size limit issues on a non HD dvd-9 console like the Wii. I mean Twilight Princess is a 40 hour game that fit on a 1.5GB GC minidisk. If you look at the amount of game storage space those graphics take on PS3 games compared to the size upgrade there is really no difference in content space available between the Wii and PS3. The 360 is another story, but they are still managing to make games like Bioshock and Mass Effect. Games with lots of FMV are going on multiple discs. That may be a pain to some, but it's never really bothered me on the PSone... |
Killzone 2 is a great effort from sony, makes me wonder how many GB crysis would take up on people's HDD.
and yeah swapping disc's didnt bother me in psone, BUT there was never a multidisc sandbox game for the psone. plus its a more modern era, with wireless controllers and other fancy stuff, people are lazy now. remember when people actually wash clothes by hand before? now imagine asking those same people that got used to washing machines to wash their clothes by hand now..... actually never mind that analogy..
my point is, sandbox games would be hard to pull off with multiple discs, they could probably do it if it was specifically made for xbox360, but since L.A. Noire was made for the ps3 i dont think a port would be possible.
offtopic: wow 40 hours? i was very long off for twighlight princess, i only made it to the underwater temple, then i stopped cause i got bored.. the controls were swell and all but the story was boring to me.
