Well I guess MGS4 won't be on the Ps3 either now, its too big for Blu Ray, lol.

The only reason MGS4 takes so much space is because they have initiative to makes as much use of the Blu-Ray format as possible. Now, is this more content? No my naive children.

MGS4 is instead making full use of Blu-Ray by not compressing huge chunks of data such as Audio, textures, etc. Arguably if comprssed in the same matter as would be done in any game, MGS4 could be put on 2 even possibly 1 360 game disc and look and play almost exactly the same.

I didn't read the thread but first and now the forth page... Since it started from time to time look that people don't think with their brains. The post i quoted IMO wins the thread. Although i don't fully agree. Yes, MGS 4 takes the full advantage of BD, this will mean that MGS 4 has a shitload of HD video (anyone who disagrees, don't even know what MGS is), which is streamed from the disc (in which PS traditionally is at its best). Now, considering similar compression ratios would be used for MGS 4, that could be used in N64 games, MGS 4 would have fit in one DVD easilly, but since it has a lot of HD video, DVD just isn't enough. The gameplay would fit to DVD easilly. @Windbane: Yes, MGS was in multiple discs, since Kojima apparently don't know how to make animations with the engine... That's what MGS is about, a lot of videos, which wastes space (actually for my taste, MGS tend to have a little too much videos, but that's not the topic).
