I haven't read the thread so don't crucify me if it has already been mentionned but playing Metal Gear Solid 4 I would have prefered changing disk for each chapter than waiting for that horrible install time. Especially when I was on chapter 4 and my brother on chapter 3... we had to wait for the install time every time we played. |
unrelated to this, the install and the dics size have no relation, blame kojima productions not the fact that it was single dics VS multi dics.

Simliar to this is how Star Ocean 4 had a bunch of disk swapping on the 360, but that wasn't due to DVD that was poor programming on the developers part, since I haven't heard of any other games that make people do that.

I think they were tied up on the 3 DVD thing since the cost would apparently jump if it was on 4 DVDs, if they were able to have more repeated assets on each DVD in SO4, then you'd most likely see less swapping, that's one reason John Carmack is trying to limit the DVD number of Rage to under 3 DVDs because of that as well(cost.) Tri-Ace doesn't fuck around when it comes to graphics for the most part among JP devs, so the amount of assets were probably pretty big and hard to fit under 3, hence, swapping like crazy. Just get the PS3 version imo.

@Bolded - Absolutely, being a 3 system owner has many advantages!
