Cut out more than half of the content that was already running on the PS3. They said that it was to control volume and overall game balance, but the game is spread across 3 dvd's on 360), which is around 21-22 gigs. that's less than what a single layer Blu-Ray Disc holds.

So the wouldn't have been a problem if it remained PS3 exclusive, like it was originally announced as.

Explain this to the J man....Resistance 1 was 22 gb of data as stated here....now as you hopefully know this 22 gb game could easily be done on the 360 on a single disc.

Could you explain how this is possible even though a DVD-DL is only 6.8 gb of usable data? (Just to let you know I know the answer just hoping you know as well)

I don't know the answer, J-Man! Tell me!

No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful.

Oh really? If they are limited to 6.8GB they would use all space available. As of yet theres no real space pressure. Sony has given a mandate to pimp Blu Ray to its exclusive developers, so of course they are going to throw everything they can into the disc to make it bigger.

What's your point? Not all games are going to fill a DVD, heck there are games that would barely fill up a CD. My point is that the 360 established the DVD as the standard in line with PC, vs Sony's attempt to push the notion of BR and games needing more space. This is a fact. I'm not saying that games are being held back, simply that with DVD as a standard developers will use that as the baseline, with only occasional games going over 1 DVD and most of those will be Sony exclusives pushing the notion of more content. Games have always ben developed (and material has been cut) to fit to the prevelant storage medium. On PC a lot of games did go beyond DVD, but due to the fact you always install they could unpack themselves accordingly.

Calm yourself.

I personally doubt many games will go over DVD for a while, the cost is too high. However, if we do want better textures, larger worlds, etc. then the DVD barrier will need to be broken. Right now though that's titles like Rage (when it releases) or Uncharted 2, which will only represent a minority of titles for a while yet I think.

Oh sorry, I misread the gist of your post.

No probs. I know this whole area is an emotive one right now due to SE going on about dropping lots of content. I was just pointing out that DVD remains the basic standard for storage that game developers aim for, the odd bigger RPG aside and with the exception of a few exclusives and some titles like Rage that haven't even released yet.

I believe on console DVD has remained so due to 360 success and year start in the market, somewhat dashing Sony hopes that many AAA games would start aiming beyond DVD capacity with content.

Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

Where did you get this whole console equality business from? Square Enix have stated the PS3 version of FFXIII will not be compressed as it doesn't need to be. And if they really deleted some scenes because they didn't want to have to put it on a 4th 360 DVD then either that's a load of unconfirmed rumours or those scenes wern't important enough to keep. I mean LO on 360 came on 4 discs, it's not exactly a problem and one can install all them onto the hard drive and play it off one disc. I'm sure FFXIII will be optimised for 360 NXE install.

Also Tekken 6 wasn't dumbed down on PS3, it's videos were of higher uncompressed quality. In fact the 360 version had a higher res option unavailable to the PS3 so no equality there.

If you're boycotting because of hear say rather than actual hard facts than tough luck mate, you're gonna miss out on one hell of an experiance.

So what other games have you heard have been dumbed down on the PS3 because it has to keep parity to the 360? Did you know Infinity Ward's PS3 team was twice as big as the 360 one because they wanted to keep both versions of COD looking the same? (360 version still looked and ran better- this is a fact). And I say good on them.
