| LongLiveTheBeatles said: You're speaking as if there is no reasonable doubt. Not only is there no reasonable doubt, but nothing but the fact that it's not on the 360 would make one propose such a thing. Almost every Metal Gear game has been exclusive to Sony, and I actually believe that it would be technically impossible on the 360 simply due to the use of Blu-Ray. P.S. They did compress everything as much as possible. There is never an occasion with any developer where you don't. |
What would you consider to be reasonable doubt?
There isn't chance in hell the game is technically impossible on the 360 due to Blu-Ray. In many instances Sony hasn't used compression for PR purposes (Heavenly Sword audio, Motorstorm) and with this game that is certainly the case. The perfectly timed "oh no we need a double sided disk Sony" combined with little in-game blu-ray jokes? Previous metal gear games were exclusive for a reason. That reason was userbase, and the PS3 doesn't have it.
A quick listing of reasons why a 360 version of MGS4 would take no more than 3 DVD's (but I suspect 2):
- Linear game = easiest for disk-swapping.
- Compress audio and remove 7.1 support.
- Different languages on different disks.
- Remove the multi-layers of the same data we know almost every dev uses to compensate for the Blu-Ray drives low read speed (the space savings here could be massive. Half the reason the PS3 "needs" the Blu-Ray capacity is because the read speed is so slow)
