FFS, why do people take rumours as facts?

And also, Forza 2 is NOT a shallow pathetic joke of a sim either

[QUOTE="X_CAPCOM_X"]Are people going to be changing discs to play online? I don't get it. How can there be a multi-disc racing game?BioShockOwnz

It's not that hard to understand. Half the content on one disc and the other half on the other disc. I'm amazed some fanboys are actually so delusional to think or say that they'll have to switch discs in the middle of a race. It's truly gotten to pathetic times on the damage control front.

Good job at making that all up. I'm curious too has how a racing game will be 2 discs.

Good job on missing out on those posts. It's been said, fact. I have enough weight here and enough people know I don't make up BS, so yes, it's been said.

Onto the 2 disc part. It was already said by the PGR team that they had issues with PGR4. Welcome to the world of HD, which fills a lot more disc space.

Yeah, you have enough weight here that I avoid your comments 80% of the time. It gets hard since you change you icon so frequently, but your blabbering mouth gives you away everytime.

WTF are people bringing in this changing disks between a race BS and calling it complete fanboyisim when nobody except one guy said that.:|

Keep to the topic and dont damage control.Nobody is saying that you will have to change a disc in between a race.

And you think the devs are genoius that will devise a way to make a racing game feel good with multiple disks?Hmm if there was a way then PGR4 would have it.

Dude, use your imagination. It will be SP on one disk and MP/Paint/Customization on the other.

Haha, that's cute. Not sure if you are implying that the blabber mouth annoying kid who thinks he's popular is somehow scaring me or if you think that being feared is soemthing different.

Man, I'm like the most ignorant about video game design and yet even I know how they could do this.

Campaign files take up a significant amount of disc space. Pre-rendered CG as used in JRPGs are the most obvious examples of this. Sound files, pre-rendered cutscenes using the game engine etc take a up a lot of data. Car models, world textures, and ultimately tracks can be put onto discs very easily.

So basically, single player will get one disc. It could be an epic single player campaign on the level of V8 Supercars/TOCA Race driver or the NFS games.

Multiplayer, which requires none of those one-off data files can be on the other disc.

It a racing sim, like Gran Tourismo, there is no campaign like any of the titles you mention, no story, just a racing carrer mode

If they were smart, and considering, if the Rumor is true, we will have two great racing sim games out before Sony really has one full one, (that Gran Tourismo $40 demo don't count)

It will be seperated EXACTLY like Gran Tourismo 2, SIngle player Carrer on one disk, andf multiplayer, online and arcade on the other

I think its funny how cows laugh at Disk swapping, yet they don't mind being forced to install 5gigs for each game they play :lol:

Disk Swapping>>>>>>5 gigabyte Installations. I'll tell you why.

Disk swapping only happens every 10 hours or so. (You must be extremely lazy if you are bothered by this)

Installations are coming with nearly every PS3 game that's coming out.

They are 5 gigs. 5 GIGABYTES!!!

Every PS3 owner with a 20 gig hard drive will feel the pain. (Soon 60gig HDD will also feel it.)

You have no choice. You are forced to Install.

Pretty ridiculous to argue over a rumor about a game that hasn't been announced. The rumor doesn't even state what the second disc will be. It could be limited edition content, a disc switch or even an install disc.

But there are advantages like better sound with the BD format also. Nothing is 100% positive advantages.

But this is nothing to cry about and I seriously doubt anyone thinks you'll be switching discs mid-race.

why complain?? back in the ps1 days they had no other option but to put it on 2 disks

hdd were unheard of on a console back then

And DVDs weren't readily available back in the ps1 days so really they had no choice

Microsoft on the other had could have easily prevented this by simply having a hdd on every console

GTAIV is only 3gb ?

also disk swapping is a pain imo id rather wait 10 minutes at the start and thats it

what if 360 games start coming with the single player on one disk and the multiplayer on the other? You get a new game your about half way through then you want to try some multiplayer .... swap disk after that you want to continue with the story .... swap disk then while playing you get a game invite ..... swap disk

see where im going with this ? installs are a once off 10 minute thing where as multiple disks will always be a pain

Ok. Lets say you bought a new game (KZ2 or something) and you want to play it. BUT WAIT!!! You only have 2 gigs of HDD space left and the Installation is 4 gigs. You don't want to delete any other game Installations because you love them all and maybe you want to go back to them later. Whoops!! So much for Blu-Ray :lol:

See how disk swapping is better than Installations?

Disc swapping comes at the expense of higher quality though. Like I said about, it's not all pros though.

What? Many games have Disk swaping and they seem to have excellent quality to me. (Final Fantasy?)

What? Many games have Disk swaping and they seem to have excellent quality to me. (Final Fantasy?)

I just meant you can get better quality sound with BD, not game. Should have been more specific lol.

Eh, you realize, the way they are going to do it isn't that you have to change a disc to play a track, that would suck, what if one disc has a car, and another has a track, therefore you can't play that car on that track. Clearly one disc is single player, the other is multiplayer. : / I hate how fanboys run everything out of proportion.

[QUOTE="Chutebox"][QUOTE="SpinoRaptor"][QUOTE="micky4889"][QUOTE="SpinoRaptor"]

I think its funny how cows laugh at Disk swapping, yet they don't mind being forced to install 5gigs for each game they play :lol:

Disk Swapping>>>>>>5 gigabyte Installations. I'll tell you why.

Disk swapping only happens every 10 hours or so. (You must be extremely lazy if you are bothered by this)

Installations are coming with nearly every PS3 game that's coming out.

They are 5 gigs. 5 GIGABYTES!!!

Every PS3 owner with a 20 gig hard drive will feel the pain. (Soon 60gig HDD will also feel it.)

You have no choice. You are forced to Install.

SpinoRaptor

GTAIV is only 3gb ?

also disk swapping is a pain imo id rather wait 10 minutes at the start and thats it

what if 360 games start coming with the single player on one disk and the multiplayer on the other? You get a new game your about half way through then you want to try some multiplayer .... swap disk after that you want to continue with the story .... swap disk then while playing you get a game invite ..... swap disk

see where im going with this ? installs are a once off 10 minute thing where as multiple disks will always be a pain

Ok. Lets say you bought a new game (KZ2 or something) and you want to play it. BUT WAIT!!! You only have 2 gigs of HDD space left and the Installation is 4 gigs. You don't want to delete any other game Installations because you love them all and maybe you want to go back to them later. Whoops!! So much for Blu-Ray :lol:

See how disk swapping is better than Installations?

Disc swapping comes at the expense of higher quality though. Like I said about, it's not all pros though.

What? Many games have Disk swaping and they seem to have excellent quality to me. (Final Fantasy?)

the fact is that the ps3 can do installs. I dont mind having to wait 10 mins before playing a game if it will make the game better. Devs cant do that on the 360 as not all the consoles have hard drives.

Devs dont HAVE to do installs, they WANT to to create a better game. With the 360 though you HAVE to use multiple disks, or you comprimise the game.

Plus you can buy a hard drive really cheap with over 100gigs of space. So I doubt installs will be too much of a problem.

I like the idea of installs, they make the game BETTER. if I could have installs on the 360 I would. But that does not mean you could get rid of disk swapping. you would be doing BOTH.

[QUOTE="micky4889"]you can easliy just hit the delete button and you get the space back ?

also a 40gb could fit 8 or 9 games on it so i dont really see the problem but like i said imo i know people will disagree with me but thats how i see it also i got a 320gb for $88 so i dont have to worry :D

ebay FTW :P

mingo123

but still buying a bigger HDD or deleting previous installs to get more space is worse then standing up, inserting 2nd disc and then sitting down :D

Its all down to preference :)

with all the invites to games i get id be up and down like a yo yo swaping disks so to me installs is best :P but again imo

[QUOTE="Rougehunter"]Didn't gran turismo 2 on the first PS come on 2 disk:?GaMeR_Willz

This is 2008 dude.

Sorry but a racing game on 2 disc is just failure and if they dont then it's still gonna be failure cuz they wont have enough features then.Good job MS keeping the 360 casual and not allowing mandatory installs.:lol:

Why is 2 discs failure exactly? Gran Turismo 2 did it just fine.

Gran Turismo 2 didn't used 2 discs. It got 1.

wrong

1 disk for gt mode and 1 disk for arcade mode, yeah the arcade disk was hardly ever used by it is still 2 disks

So now your telling me Installations are a good thing? Yeah? How? What major benefits do they have ? Make the loading time 2 seconds less? Make the the FPS a couple frames more?

They don't make the game better ok? I have downloaded halo 3 maps that were 100mb each. These Installations are a couple of gigs. In what ways do those couple of gigs make the game a lot better?

Can you answer me that?

Using a HDD enables date to be streamed much much faster along with aiding loading times it also keeps pop ins to a minimum

eg, did you take of in a helicopter in gta on the 360 version ?? entire road blocks, buildings,roads just popin these problems are minimize thanks to the HDD in the ps3 hence why it does not suffer from this problem as badly as the 360 does

No of course not, DVD's didn't become widely available until the 90s.

But I'm sure you understand what I mean, if you do not understand my comment then thats ok.

It's been brought up many times. I'm still amazed that some people can't change a disc. It was alright before, but now it's a hassle. How lazy have some become that they can't get off the couch for a second and switch out a disc? The damage control is through the roof on this one.

BioShockOwnz

Well, for me, the act of changing a disk is not the problem. My problem comes in when one of the disks gets scratched and doesn't want to play. Now you are screwed. It happened to me with Skies of Arcadia way back when, and I was not happy at all. You put in all that work and can't continue cause the next disk is messed up. This is the advantage of having everything fit on one disk. Also, Blurays are hard to scratch, and even if they are scratched, they still play fine.
