he said constant streaming speed... and that is a advantage that the ps3 blu-ray drive has that benefits developers because they can stream the game data knowing ahead that it will maintain that speed, so they dont care about read speed variations across the disc... if the game goes well with the data bandwidth that the drive delivers they dont need loading pages or even an hdd install... that was the way i have read his sentence... |
Of course you are correct.
An example old comment from me, before Naughty Dog proved the point with their Uncharted games:
"IMO much more relevant is that the PS3 can move around data much faster and comes supplied with a harddrive by default, which can be used to cache large amounts of data if needed, like virtual memory on a PC. In addition technically speaking the Blu-Ray drive is more suitable to stream data when needed due to sustained reading speeds (easily predictable)."
