Heh.

GTA5... Would cause some major meltdowns.

I could understand why they would go PS3 exclusive... But i could also understand the risk in doing so.

Reason being... paid hundreds of millions by Sony?

Risk... cutting off the majority of their fans, making future releases suffer?

Yes. And not having the limits of DVD to worry about.

Yes. And making it a possible "flop" in terms of GTA sales.


All of their releases last gen were well received, so I don't see how the "limits of DVD" is a legitimate line of reasoning here.

last gen was last gen. DVD is becoming more and more obsolete everyday. With the heavy push for games to look better and more and more content on the discs, DVD is cripling games this gen. Its the equivilant of putting PS2 level graphics on a PS1 CD. Yea, you can do it, but it hinders just how much of it you can do.

No, the biggest crippling factor in games is the cost of developing games the size of last gen has increased dramatically, not the media they're on.  Gears 2 was huge and looked amazing, surprise it fits on one DVD.  If the 360 had Bluray, developers would still be struggling to fit stuff onto a disk, when you give developers more capacity they'll get lazy and fill it, thats fact!
