Forums - Gaming Discussion - 360 DVD better then PS3 Blu Ray for Gaming

stiak on 21 July 2008

Ah ha! So we're looking at this thread again?

Yep, the DVD drive in the x360 is faster. Personally the installs don't bother me. I realise not everyone has put a bigger HD in their ps3 though and it's annoying that some installs aren't optional.

There are plenty of games that don't use installs, that are really good games. Uncharted comes to mind first. Ratchet does too.

So I'm not gonna put down a preference since awesome games don't have to have installs.

 

 Uncharted has really long load times(way longer then most 360 games) and it DOES install.

All PS3 games install to the roughly 5gig cache reserved for just that on the HDD, otherwise load times would be trough the roof.

I really dont see the big problem with a 4 dvd games (like ff13 could be), i mean, Final fantasy games for previews ps systems came in 4 or 5 dvds, mgs came in 2 or 3, i dont remember, so, i really dont see the problem now.

I think the shortcomings of GTAIV (where of course multiple discs was entirely unfeasible) demonstrate which is better for gaming. If the game had been PS3 exclusive it would have been able to genuinely expand and improve on San Andreas, rather than receive a big graphical update at the expense of almost everything else.

Can I get an AMEN!

Keep this in mind when reading what I type...

I've been gaming longer than many of you have been alive.

Anyone who thinks that blu-ray drives are slower check wikipedia.

 

 Just did, the wikipedia page does NOT mention any comparisons between dual speed blu ray and 12 speed DVD so I dont know why you mention it here as some sort of proof that BD is faster.

Let see how would GT5 work if it's on DVD.

Do I change disc if I play certain tracks or pick certain cars?

So if I just done racing with the GT-R on Suzuka and I want to make a race on Daytona with the Ferrari, I need to change disc in between?

your right.. or what about halo 4? one disk for single playe and one for

Multiple players? so if i get an invite for something i have to switch disks? thats stupid.

actually, the people hating on game installs on PS3 proves some people are that impatient to gaming.

I played the game and didn't mind the install. Plus, I had to go to the bathroom, anyway.

Uncharted doesn't even load! It loads once (when u load ur save file) and then u can play the entire game w/o ever seeing a loading screen. I would guess that it doesn't fit on one DVD, but that's just me.

But its quite a lengthy load, and that is because its installing.

Play it again after turning it of and the initial load will be shorter because the files are still cached on the HDD, play another game inbetween Unchartered sessions and it is longer again because it has to reinstall files.
