Lost Odyssey is stored on 4 DVDs, this games could have fit on just 1 blu-ray disc because the capacity on 1 BD is their to allow such a big game to just fit, the same thing can be said about blue dragon which stores it's game on 3 DVD's, all I'm saying is that these 2 games validate the usefulness of the capacity the blu-ray discs have. |
My opinion, is if you delivered those exact same games on one disk and not 3 or 4, it offers very little to nothing to the gamer. But where Blu-Ray really does make a difference, is it holds a lot more then 3 or 4 DVD's worth of information. If the creators of Lost Odyssey had the Blu-Ray to work with, I bet they would have delivered a different game. They would have cut less corners. I am sure if they were given the space, they would have filled it up, and the conumer would have benefited from it. That's where Blu-Ray makes a difference. |
You forget filling up the space would mean more time and resources, which would mean more cost. What if the only had the money to make the game they made. Furthermore, what corners do you assume were cut? And please don't give me story elements. Those could have been left out for artistic reasons, not storage reasons. |
I am sorry, but you are arguing from the position that more space on a delivery medium would never offer an advantage, and that's just not the case. As for a direct answer to your question, splitting Lost odyssey on multiple disks cost money too. If they had just put it on one disk, that would have saved them money that could be used to better the game in some way. Look, adding a limitation is never better then removing it. 50gig is better then 9gig. period. Choose to take advantage of it or not, but saying it's meaningless is just a poor argument. |
That is not what I argued. You didn't read my comment right.
I wrote that more content would cost money, even if they would fit.
And how does multiple discs cost money? Do you mean the physical cost of the discs (which is still a fraction than one blu-ray), or do you mean programming the breaks, which would just (require planning, not major development time?.
