This makes sense, handling seven disks for MGS4 alone would be a nightmare...

But you could copy all of them on the HDD before starting the game, so the ridiculous between chapter installs would be gone.


Also it would need less than 7 discs. They just calculated a 50GB Blu-Ray - a 8GB 360 disc = 6,25.
This release of MGS4 (anniversary edition) is 30GB, so 3.75 discs would be needed.

Remove some languages and compress video and audio (which is always done anyway) and it would easily fit on 3 discs.




EDIT: But that's okay, it's their decision. If they don't think it would be worth it to port the game then we can't do anything. Though there is at least hope for NextBox.
Though it doesn't bother me since I own the game on PS3.

We both know it doesn't work this way.

for a linear game ? Yes it certainly works that way.
There would be obviously a few files that need to be present on all discs, but those would only need a fraction of the disc.
Granted there might be a weird occasion where one chapter doesn't fully fit on the same disc as another chapter, so it would need to be transferred on the next one.
Either way I said it could fit on 3 disks, but certainly not more than 4.

Lost Odyssey had 4 discs, but only because every disc contained the full world, so there was only a small amount left for the story and FMVs (and I seem to remember that Lost Odyssey had quite a few of them).
