Was it ever revealed what Monolith Soft and Nintendo were working on in order to get the game to run smoother on a disk? You guys remember about a month ago there was a lot of discussion about how Monolith Soft was working on some "fix" or "feature" to get the game to run faster if you play it on a disk? People were speculating it was the ability to download some sections of the game from the disk onto the Wii U's hard drive. But I don't think Monolith has ever clarified what they were talking about.

Bioware does magic too. They are very good on this stuff imo.

This thread has the same potential to end up like the splatoon: A harmless topic that will turn into a pile of s#!t.

You make a single comparison and BOOM console wars

Yeah all fo them were in-game. Nintendo doesn't believe in pre-rendered cutscenes(for the most part)

So maybe Nintendo's "magical compression" still exists, because Monolith Soft is the one that made XCX, not Nintendo. 

But those cutscenes are diferent, they don´t add almost any weight because they are made with the game graphics.

And 1 game out of 100 doesn´t change the fact that Nintend is not cutscene friendly.

They'll propably be ingame though, that comes with lots of audio files which tend to be fairly large.

But they aren't quote on quote HD photorealistic, but rendered using the same game engine which allows it to make a considerable difference in file size.

*facepalm*

Content and world size =/= huge file sizes.

Huge worlds can be accomplished with clever reusing of assets (I can promise you Monolith Soft did that).

BTW only pre rendered cutscenes take up a lot off space, in engine cutscenes don't.
