What? 3 discs on 360? Is it the same game engine that powered GTAIV and RDR? Because if it is I've got a tough decision to make. Technically superior 360 version or one disc PS3 version. Hell might go with PC.


technically superior how?


Multiplats have generally been superior on 360, but that difference has barely been notable of late. Moreover, some multiplats seem to be superior on PS3 the last few years.

So,

I'm also wondering why he has reason to state it as fact there hasn't been any comparison (that I know of).

Maybe he was thinking of all other Rockstar games this gen. They have always been superior on 360, be it GTA4, Red Dead Redemption or Midnight Club. In any case, the sentence was uncalled for.

playing right now: Xenoblade Chronicles

Hype-o-meter, from least to most hyped:  the Last Story, Twisted Metal, Mass Effect 3, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Playstation ViTA

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.

So does this confirm GTA V as a ps3 exclusive?

may confirm GTA V with 2(or more)disc for 360

exclusive?nah you forget Wii2?


GTA is a whole different beast, they wont just be able to swip disk in GTA like they can with this game

Actually that could be done.  They would just have to have the entire map put on every disc, and each mission would have a cutoff point that you would have to complete that mission before moving on to other areas,  So it is possible, and I wouldnt be surprised if thats how the next GTA is done

it said, they are making download content that didnt fit on the disk,

so i would assume that if disk space wasnt an issue, then that content would be on the retail disk of the game.

also when i read the article. my understanding of it, was progressing in the game with the main story mission, you will only need to swap disks twice, but their are side mission that arent directly story related, that you can play, but would have to switch disks to get back to them, if they were on the previous disk. the wording was a bit ambiguous, but that was my understanding


Like I said in my earlier post, three DVDs have more space than a single layer blu-ray. So if anything, content was cut because of the blu-ray, since the DVDs still had another half gigabyte to fill, they could of probably held a DLC mission or two more. 

And if you read the article it says you will only need to swap twice.

In fact, players will only need to swap discs twice at natural breaks between cases without interrupting the flow of the game

But then they could have used a dual layer Blu-ray like quite a few PS3 games have done. Its just PR to make it look like the game is huge.

your maths seem very wrong.

bluray: single layer: 25 GB

DVD: duallayer: 8 GB x 3 = 24 GB

also i think thats the first time ive ever heard the arguement that bluray is holding back content. congratulations, you deserve a prize for that.

 

also your bolded says, you will only NEED to swap disks twice. meaning at minimum, the very least, you will need to change dicks 2 times. but if you read the article again, when it mentions side missions, it seems to allude to that if you wanted to complete some of them, you would need to swap disk more than twice.

Yes, they could of, but I'm just arguing that it isn't DVDs fault. They could of always added another DVD too 



Sig thanks to Saber! :D

technically superior how?


The RAGE engine that powered GTAIV and RDR was-

720p on 360 vs 640p on PS3

Superior framerate on 360

More foliage for 360 RDR

MSAA on 360 vs QAA on PS3

Superior draw distance on 360 RDR

Superior water effects on 360

Supeior shadows on 360

Missing shadows on PS3 RDR

 

PS3 did hold some advantages of it's own though such as-

Triple Buffered V Sync (360 was double buffered with soft v-sync)

Sometimes superior shadow casting and lighting on RDR

GTAIV TV watching was superior on PS3 due to blu ray space

nope.

also lets not forget, that over 1 GB is allocated to security, meaning it cant be used for the game. meaning at max the game uses 21 GB.

yes but adding another dvd is adding another disk, for a total of 4 (which is a crazy amount of disks).

dual layer bluray, is just one disk, no swapping. no clicking something like "press to go to second layer"

theres no way to know if it were a duallayer or not, unless you new the size of the game
