Why would MS pay royalties to Sony by using Blu-Ray? They are much better next gen to bring back HD DVD in larger capacity or their own format that can still deliver HD content.
Also thanks for linking a article over 4 years old, but Mr Ninja still put DOA4 exclusive to the 360 so the point was mute. |
No, it wasn't mute because most FFs have 45 to 60 minutes of cinema. To have that cinema in the same quality that Itagaki would have wanted for DOA 4, then that means you need 45 to 60 gigs of space. So, if FF is only taking up 27 gigs of space that means the cinemas either would have had to have been compressed to something that Itagaki would have found unacceptable in 2005 or the typical cinema length of an FF game has been trimmed to half of what it was in the PS2 and PS1 games.
There are also reasons Itagaki left Team Ninja and judging from his reactions to the 360 having dvd instead of the hd-dvd he was promised early on, a feature of the finished 360 which was in direct conflict with the longer cinematic games he was planning to make, that could very well have been one of those reasons.
Also, you don't see many other studios making longer story driven games for 360. None of Sega's Yakuza games have appeared on 360.
