2.) I heard a rumour that you could stick on another layer or two, maybe I was wrong. I also heard from many relaible tech websites that there was a 400gb Blu-Ray disc compatible with the PS3, but that was just PR bullshit. Skyrim is different though, it might have a large world but it doesn't have a huge soundtrack, tonnes of cutscenes (both in-game and pre-rendered), plus I think most of the game data such as textures are re-used. I don't know though, I am not a developer. Big JRPG's seem to like lots of space, so I will leave them to it. |
This is exactly what i'm talking about, i think 4 hours of cutscenes is more than enough to flesh out the story, characters and world mythology.
FF13's cutscenes are boring because they're not interesting - just repeating the same plot point over and over again: "its our focus Serah said so".
and we know this is because of problems during development - and imo very poor levels of script writing.
for example, why can Assassin's Creed introduce dozens of characters and loads of interesting plot developments in a shorter space of time - where as FF13 can only develop 6 characters and develop very little mythology about the world in 6 hours - more time -
the game has spent years in development and the key plot development after 5 years of production is "its our focus Serah said so". it didnt help that a lot of the cutscenes featured emotional breakdowns - some people have even gone as far as to compare FF13s drama as that of a soap opera. i neither agree or disagree with this!!
and i think blu ray has been uped to 33gb per disk - meaning 66gb on dual layer, so i think this is enough for this and next gen even!
