kk thx bye.

Yeah right I heard Iraq has weaponss of mass destruction :D

It's obvious PR spin after few angry phones from MS.

 

Yeah sure... better believe a random guy on the internet with a "PS3 is the future" signature than Microsoft and the game developer...

But if so: Lost Odyssey sold 790k on 4 discs. So LO created the same revenue for MS like a game that sold 3.6 million... Don't think so.

 

Fixed

 

 

 adjustments T.T



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Looks pretty cool to me. LO's 4 disks didnt cost me a single penny more than if it were on 1, so I highly doubt that FFXIII cost more on 360. Any royalties MS (may) have charged SE for multiple disk were probably compensated in the deal to get FFXIII multi-platform anyway.

Hardly PR spin. Do you read many reviews that compare 360 versions vs PS3 versions? 360 versions almost always load faster due to DVD's faster read speeds, and yet you consider a developer mentioning something to that effect as "PR spin".

What has loading or streaming speed to the royalties on more than 2 discs ?

All I know is I'm getting the game for PS3. I don't want to have 3-4 disc games any more. That's old gen ways. Blu ray is the best thing to ever happen for games this gen.

It would be pretty funny though if Microsoft forced Square-Enix to pay their rediculous fees that start applying to every disc after 2. Say the game comes to 43GB on the BD, then you are looking at a minumum of 7 discs for the 360. If that was to happen it could very easly make the 360 version of the game retail for $99. More than likely though, they will just drop the sound down to extreamly compressed 5.1, and bust the cut scence back to highly compressed 720p. That alone will save tons of GB's.

 

  1. MS does not charge fees per disc.
  2. A XBox360 disc is something like 9.3 GB. 7 discs = 63GB
  3. It is more expensive to produce a BluRay than a DVD and the 1-disc-games (almost every title) are priced the same, so there won't be a difference for FF XIII. Star Ocean (3discs) or Lost Odyssey (4 discs) aren't more expensive than other games.

 

No, Microsoft doesn't charge the fees.  Manufacturer's do however have to pay licensing fees per DVD.  They aren't very large, but the fee + manufacturing multiple discs would most likely cost more than a blu-ray.

Also there are only 7 GB of usable space on 360 DVDs.

That's a pretty narrow-minded, not to mention lazy, way to percieve things.



If i lose access to this profile as well....I'm done with this site.....You've been warned!!.....whoever you are...

Happy Wii60 user. Me and my family are a perfect example of where hardcore meets casual and together mutate into something awesome.

That actually looks pretty sweet.

I think it will come on 6 discs and will do around 1.5million on 360.

I perdict 4 discs and 4 million copies sold.

 

Btw, I'm looking forward to Rage from a technological standpoint. The game itself looks kinda boring, but the engine will rock.

True.

 

Fixed.

Also the higher available all purpose RAM helps cache more, which increases the speed for loading games on 360.
