Bad news for those who said "blu-ray" wasnt needed! PGR4 related!

Looks like the DVD size has limited PGR4...

Discuss

DOA4 for 360 almost maxed out the DVD9. so there were issues with the space from launch. 2 discs isn't that bad but what about RPG's 3 years from now?

it only limited the night and day textures fanboy, im still getting this game.supersaiyan039

:lol: i feel ya man...

Yea Blu Ray is needed because Far Cry on the PC was like 5 discs!Fabreeze121

5 CDs, most likely.

Uh... I have a 360.. and I play it daily. So... that makes you very wrong. very.

The point I was making is that blu-ray IS NEEDED... obviously you dont understand that concept..

if they really wanted to implement these things, whats the problems with adding another dvd??rtehrani

Racing games should NEVER be multi disc that is why.

MAYBE FOR THIS GAME, BUT LOOK AT MASS EFFECT AND GTA 4.

how did they do forza with over 300 cars and about 50 tracks on 1 dvd?SoUtHhOlLiZ

Compression. Uncompressing and then streaming data requires more power, I don't think the developers of PGR4 want to do that, because it also harms the graphics, ever seen how many jaggies are actually in a screen shot of Forza 2? It looks good in motion because the flaws are less noticeable, but they are there when the game is still.

I agree with you, however doesnt that make you wonder if the game is just using the same textures over.. and over.. and over again? make no mistake that these will be great games, but the fact remains that there is a limit to how diverse the game can look. If they cant do this for a car game, then mark my words Mass Effect will look very similar for every single planet you visit.

maybe cause the graphics were trash

Blu-Ray still isn't neccessary for videogaming.

And Far Cry Instincts looks better yet it was on X360.

"Racing games should NEVER be multi disc that is why."

i understand what you mean. but they could break it up accordingly, kinda like gran turismo 2, simulation onone disc and arcade on another.

Oblivion owns them all graphically and is a bigger game, one DVD and its only 6.4GB on the 360.

E M I N 3 M

Are you sure? Because Itagaki said in a interview that DOA4 exceeded the space limit so they had to compress a few megabytes.
