This isn't exactly the same situation as the Halos where some were smaller and on the original xbox. The Uncharted games and pretty big, especially 3 which I hear is massive (not sure how big though). So the question is do you think ND can compress all onto one disc?


Each one took up 25GB, and the latest Blu Rays hold 67GB double-layered, and 128GB quad-drouple layered.  I think they easily could.

My Extended Lord of the Rings wants to have a word with you.

The thing I was most excited about it going to Blu ray was that it would eb on one disc.  I thought, there is no way that it can't be right.  I mean blu ray is so large compared to dvd.  

They could of put the entire (ROTK) 4 hr movie on one disc. But They went for the higher bitrate. VS the space. If they reduced the bitrate from 30 to 15-17, it would of fit. I checked the sizes. Including all the audio commentaries etc. Both parts of Return was 60GB. 10 GB over a 50GB disc.

Other companies do put their stuff on BD at that rate. And it's fine. Unless you're so anal and stare 1 foot from the screen. Examples are pretty much everything WB releases. Justice League is 26 episodes on two discs. All of the Watchmen motion comic is on one disc. And that's 5 hrs 22 mins long. Venture Bros has 16 eps on one disc. The lowest the bitrate dropped was 8.7Mbps. That's pretty low for BD. And boarders on the pixelation limit. But it still was fine.

I combinded ROTK parts into one movie and dropped the bitrate to fit one 50GB disc. It was prefect. The other movies are shorted and have less of an issue. Fellowship was the shortest. I was able to get the bitrate upto 21Mbps. Only a 9Mbps reduction from the two discs.

Yea I know the reason why its on two.  Which is why I brought it up.  If there were to be an uncharted collection on the PS4, they would do things like uncompress or smooth something out or raise native resolution, ect.  Just little things you wouldn't really notice at all unless comparing side by side but they think we would find important.

I would rather have stuff on one disc than an extra pixel in a game.

As for LOTR.  It's annoying switching, but if what they did makes it so that it looks still good in 20 years on a 4k tv then I'm all fine.
