Oh thank god the GTAIV: VC and GTAIV: SA thing was a joke. I was ready to debate it too. Sorry I guess I can't tell when a wink is meant to be a joke or being serious and cheeky.
On the compression thing, that's a possible reason for stating what he said, but don't you think that maybe Lionhead isn't being completely honest. I mean whenever a developer talks about space you say that they are being dishonest in one way or another, but couldn't Lionhead just be dishonest? |
It is possible that Lionhead exaggerated, but unlikely. Someone started a thread here on VGC to a demo file you could download that had a five minute video. The download size was 55kb......... It's difficult not to be mislead by developers that claim that 22GB was neccessary for Motorstorm or that one Killzone 2 level "couldn't possibly" have been less than 2GB. Where they to make the same sentence in an honest context, it would go more like "you couldn't possibly make a KZ2 level with less than 2GB, unless of course you compressed the data, which we couldn't do because Sony's PR department said not to." |
Naughty Dog claimed that Uncharted used 22GB and everything was compressed. |
Uncharted was a single player game and only took 8 hours to complete. n expert gamer could pass it in less than 6 hours. Uncharted 22GB incredible. |
Uncharted is a 9-10 hour game the first time through for people who are familiar with console shooters and platformers and on multiple play-throughs on harder difficulty levels, the play-times usually stay up there because you're hunting for treasures and trying to earn medals to unlock stuff. I just finished my third play-through of Uncharted and I've started a fourth on crushing difficulty. My save file is at around 31 hours right now. Yes, even with all of the others games I own, Uncharted is so good I've played through it three times already.
As for the amount of data on the disc - a large part of that has to do with the fact that they essentially created a single disc for almost all of the territories - it has seven spoken languages for all of the dialog with DTS audio.
