I remember some games on the PS1 having multiple cds so why the big deal over it on the 360 (for the games that need it)? Were Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy 7, and Resident Evil 2 broken because of it?

linear games can be broken onto multiple discs with out many issue, however, open word games like GTA or racing/sports games simply can not be put onto multiple discs as they will break the flow of the game.

Also, games like lost odyssey (4 dvds) and Blue Dragon (3 dvds) clearly show how useful blu-ray's capacity can be when developers want to make games with allot of CG, because at the end of the day, no in game graphics will ever beat the IQ of CG cinematics.


 Gears would fit into the first category, so you seem to have missed the point of this thread.

And how do the Mistwalker games show how useful blu-ray can be? They're just on more than one disc. They would have to be broken to prove blu-ray was useful.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
