L.A. Noire was once a six-disc game on Xbox 360

Whats with the PS3 image?

PS3 fanboy is my guess.

 

Yeah, he must be so angry at them damn Xboxes, that showing a picture of a PS3 must be an easy way to calm down the undeniable rage.

Seriously, the thread has just started and the discussion has already been taken right off topic.

OT: This is starting to become an issue, Team Bondi are only one of the bunch of developers that have come out and mentioned this already and multi-platform games on multiple disks have become much more frequent in the last couple of years. If a game like L.A. Noire needed to be compressed by that much, I'd imagine that other games in the past would have done the same to just fit on a single disk. Hell, if Platinum struggled to put a five hour game on to the 360 on a single disk, then I can't imagine how hard it would have been with a game like Red Dead.

It's not hard if you reuse assets. Or look at Demon's Souls. I think that game would fit nicely on one dvd, yet play time is extensive. On the other hand, yes, creating many gigantic and diverse sets will take more space. 

But reuse of assets is so last generation, is not? You can't forget that L.A. Noire almost turned to vaporware and now we just know why...
