I had thought that FMV JRPGs would of been a big deal for Blu-Ray this generation.  It would of been the reason to own a Blu-Ray player.  However, considering that JRPGs appear to be defecting to the Wii, can someone idetify what genres need Blu-Ray for storage this generation?  I am curious what genre can get a competitive advantage on the PS3 system.

I do see the generation after this is going to need storage on par with Blu-Ray, if not larger.  But this generation, what genre(s) need Blu-Ray.

shootersand a big variety of gta 4 clones

GTA would do wonders on a blu-ray,

All and None....

ToS2 is on the Wii. But TLR is on the 360 with 2 discs I believe. I'm pretty sure it was stated some time ago that the PS3 version would be 1 disc. Lost Odyssey with 4 discs on 360, supposedly due to alot of prerenderd cutscenes, while LBP is 40GB on PS3 but on a single disc. It's 40GB due to alot of tutorial video's.  FFXIII Will be 1 disc on PS3, while Square stated that they are most likely looking at multiple discs for the 360 version.

MGS4 is a 50GB game [not sure how much of that is MGO] but it was said that alot of that is loosely compressed 7.1 audio. Rage [if not released yet] will be 2 disc on 360 and one disc on PS3. The Dev's said that the game will look slightly better on PS3 because the had more space for textures. But No More Heroes and LoZ: Twilight Princess are both single disc on the Wii.

Wii discs - 4.7/8.4GB
360 Discs - 4.7/8.4GB
PS3 discs - 25/50GB

It all depends on what the developers are making.... The fact that PS3 used BD as apposed to 360 with DVD's and Wii with Wii Optical Disc [some modified version of DVD is what Wiki told me] just means that you have alot of extra space on PS3. Is the space needed???? That just depends on the game...

DQ10 goes onto the Wii and a TO game so it means all JRPG are going to the Wii? People on this forum are really really short sighted, not long ago it was "Wii does not get enough JRPG".

FFXIII and Versus are 2 games which would need blu-ray, maybe even WKC. Multiple-discs FTL +_- (yh I would rather have an install :D)

No genre that uses in-engine cutscenes really needs FMVs anymore.

MGS4 is not a 50GB game.

It is a 30GB game.

Wii optical disc is actually just DVD

Link??? I'm sure you're aware where I got my 50GB from, I wanna know where you get you're 30 from??

I stated where I got my reference, if it's incorrect then oh well.

Now can you actually contribute to the OP??

EDIT: I'd like to ask for the reason as to why you highlighted my few lines about the Dev comments on "Rage"?

Need?

None really...

The ones that it'd work best with...

Sandbox games and the like that usually have a lot of loading screens.

Other then that unless you want to throw around a lot of uncompressed audio...
