Forums - Sony Discussion - How much space does MGS4 really use on the BluRay Disk?

Nidan on 14 October 2008

For those that don't remember, Originally the devs were hating on BluRay because the speed of the drive was too slow. I believe the MGS developers decided to place the same data in many different places on the BluRay disks to counter this (which in some way defeats the purpose of a larger media format).

So in light of many comments talking about the number of disks that would be needed if it was ever on XBOX, i would like to know does anyone know what the "real size" of the game really is?

Secondly does anyone know what size (or length in time) the video component of this game is now? (I am assuming that the video component is highly uncompressed due to the bluray specs and could be compressed if put onto DVD?)

In an equally equivalent question at this point... how many UMD will it take for MGS4?



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

Im pretty sure that they didnt have anough space to just put the "same data" in many different places, there is a reason for the 4gb install.

Like I said in another thread, all of the cutscenes are available on torrent sites in 720p. The file size is 9.2 GB. Take it for what it's worth. I'm pretty sure most of the data you're searching for isn't publicly available.

Kojima had to compress content because it didnt all fit in the Blu-Ray disc.

W_W....Ugh and all this because of someone who mistranslated someone's words.

33gb is the size of mgs4

 The ps3 was peaked with MGS4, that is FACT, came from kojima himself/sarcasm

If you're talking mathematically, a UMD disc holds 1.8 GB. Do the math.

(Assuming 50 GB, that's 28 discs)

That's only 720p. 1080p takes up more space, and all of MGS4's cutscenes are in 1080p.
