Changing disk or Mandatory installs which is worst ?

Ill take the option that dosent involove killing my HDD space and mke me end up shell out more money for another one :wink:

micky4889

i think you are overreacting, but i think there is someting people fail to understand:

In the entire 360 library only 2 games require you to change discs (blue dragon and lost odyssey) both are JRPGs both are created by the same dev

in the entire PS3 library im going to say that at least 15 games require you to install games on you hardrive all of them are different genres and all of them from different devs

How is it overeacting when its true :?

I would rather switch disk (and not have anything happen to my HDD) then have to mandatory install a game and have it kill my HDD. Cow's think switching disk is some sort of bad thing but yet faile to realise they have been doing it since the ps1 era :lol:

Did you just compair the 360 to the ps1 lol

I compared the feature of disk swapping not the entire console :roll:

[QUOTE="II-FBIsniper-II"][QUOTE="Spybot_9"]Just pathetic that lemmings are actually defending this.:lol::lol:tenaka2

Tell me what is wrong with changing discs.

you never played monkey Island on the Amiga did you..........

Disk swapping is very annoying. What happened to all the lemming sitting down on the comfy leather sofas 20 feet from the 72" HD TVs drinking beer and relaxing after work?

'Insert Disk 2' will cause amazing hassle.

Plus, it's something that shouldn't be needed this generation.

you do know that only 2 games in the entire 360 library require you switch discs? that they both are 40+ hour experience?

that this is just a rumour?

that so far the disc swaping method has been used so that if you do need to swap the disc again it won´t be untill after at least 10+ hours of gameplay?

that disc swapping only takes 5 seconds?

(and i dont see who is going to drink a beer while playing blue dragon or lost odyssey but whatever)

however the only 2 games that used disc switching this gen gained extra space from this, some PS3 games didnt seem to gain anything from installs st1ka

But when racing games start to come on mutable disks that's when problems start. Whats next gears 3 on 2 disks?

gears 1 pretty much maxed the dvd9 at yet was only 7 hours long so since gears 2 has better textures does that mean the game will be shorter?

you tell me. What did the install in GTA do ? less pop-up? they may due to the fact that the game runs on a lower resolution with no AA st1ka

That's debatable i seen something on kotaku 3 or 4 months before gta came out saying that rockstar restricted by the fact that the 360 had no hdd

not exactly, going back to GT 2 the game had 2 discs, one for the arcade the other for the carrer mode, if this rumour is true i foresee something similar to that

Whats next gears 3 on 2 disks?

gears 1 pretty much maxed the dvd9 at yet was only 7 hours long so since gears 2 has better textures does that mean the game will be shorter?micky4889

do you have a link on how gears maxed the 360? (not saying i dont believe you but its the first time i have heard of this)

like i said before, only 2 games use the disc swapping feature, both from the same dev and both JRPGs that use and outdated technique (tons and tons of CGI and cutscenes)


That's debatable i seen something on kotaku 3 or 4 months before gta came out saying that rockstar restricted by the fact that the 360 had no hdd

micky4889

yes it is debatable, but all a 4-5 gig instalation did on the PS3 was less pop in (note: less, it didnt eliminate it) is that really worth 4-5 gigs of your hardrive?

Pays the price? Sony is paying the price for picking blu-ray over dvd. Look at the sales and mandatory installs. Id rather spend 10-15 seconds and have to change disks for 1 or 2 games instead of having to buy extended memory because my games need installls that can take up to 20 minutes...

Who said that? You? Don't expect that just for saying that it will be truth.

I could also say "mandatory installs that kills 3-6 GB of your hard drive shouldn't be needed, it is outdated technology", but the pS3 has around 15 games with mandatory installs. So stop speaking of technology, you just sound ridiculous.

I just wonder what the next Forza will be like with all the extra space. We already know far more tracks and cars. Just imagine how much more customization there will be. Forza 2 already destroys GT score wise. GT5P 7.5 :lol: I am guessing Forza will pull a hat trick and get its third AAA.

3 years later, M$ pays the price for not choosing a next-gen optical disc format.cronus233

Um what price? This isnt going to effect sales at all and MS would have lost hundreds of millions if they included Blu-Ray or HD-DVD.

That cause they do not score almost every single demo because almost every single demo does not charge $40.

edit- So is it a demo the cows are being milked over or a game that does not stack up even with the cheaper price?

GT5P had some of the best car models and lighting iv ever seen in a game I'm not saying it will be better then forza 3 but hands down better graphically then forza 2

Installing games is not outdated technology.:lol:

It brings benefits.PS3 has a slower HDD and a slower BR drive that's why it takes so much time to install and also why it doesnt significantly reduce load times as it does with PC.Another advantage of installing is to be able to play the game without actually inserting the disc,something again the PS3 doesnt do.

again your compairing the ps1 to the 360micky4889

actually its the first time i brought the PS1 in to this conversation and what you said made no sense, i am not comparing the 360 to the PS1 i am stating how disc swaping works

There is some website that checks how much data is on a disk ( cant remember the name of it try google it) i used my own copy of gears and it said some thing like 7.8Gb which is pretty much the whole disk concidering they have to leave 1gb idol for some reasonmicky4889

dont know about that website.

So far i have seen no reason to get alarmed over this "disc swaping histerya"
