It's not the first we have heard about it.

Disolitude - Because 360 charges more royalty fees per disc after 2 discs.

No, you can't.  Because you have no proof that the PS3 being harder to work with directly affected or affects the XBox360 build.  But here we have the developers themselves stating that the XBox360's media of choice is a limiting factor for the game across all platforms.

 dont be a whiny bitter baby.

these guys have talked shit about both systems....perhaps they should just stick with PC if they dont want to deal with consoles.

Probably the same effect as gimping it and not gimping the PC/PS3 port in their minds. If the 360 version is 4 discs and the PS3 version is one disc it could effect sales negativily on the 360, if they just gimp all versions at least all the sales will be even.

Though personally I think they should release the game as they want it on the PC/PS3 and leave the 360 version gimped. You dont see developers making the PS360 versions of games also on the Wii look the same. They use the technology available to them.

eh. Time to see if this becomes more problematic or if the developers will intentionally limit their games from the start.

Because Microsoft makes developers pay for every extra disc over one that is in a particular game. It apparently is something highly unreasonable because a few game developers have been complaining about it. I believe it is said MS does this because every 360 game disc must have certain propriatary software put on them before being distributed. Also It would mean massive number of 360 games being on multiple discs, showing it's age way to early in front of it's nemesis, the PS3.

This is exactly what I personally have been ranting about for months yet people look at me like I am crazy. In order to keep the monolith MS at bay these companies will downgrade the PS3 version just to suit the 360. This is the same thing that I feel has happened with Final Fantasy XIII, dude I just know it is. And I will be royally pissed if FFXIII does not at least fill a 50gb disc.

Let's see..... Spend the budget putting content in the game, or spend the budget learning how to compress content into the game but having no money to now make that content.....

I agree Mr. Bubbles, personally after all that whining about the royalty fee I really could care less about this game. If they think the royalty fee cost is expensive than I don't really expect a good game from them. If it was good than it could go multi-disc on Xbox and still pull a profit. Or if their game was THAT AMAZING they could just pull the game off 360 completely and release the "Complete" version and make enough money. Why do they really need the 360 fanbase? Seems like they're worried about profits.

Not to mention Doom 3 wasn't impressive to me at all. If this was 10 years ago in the Doom and Keen days I'd still have respect for them but who really cares about ID these days?

^ I think they are more upset with MS trying to nickle and dime them because of their own F' up by not using a media format that holds more data. Just like they do to the consumer. Take of useful components of the system then overcharge for them when the consumer realizes they need one.

yes and no. This is MS's fault for charging game makers per disk. It should not cost more in royalties if your game is 1 disk or 5. if MS would drop that bullshit, they would have put it on 3-4 disks and been done with it.
