Halo3 only 6.14 GB? Gawwwwww

[QUOTE="Willy105"]

6.14 GB is a lot!!!!

Mario 64 was only 9 MB!!!!!

What are developers wasting space on these days!?!

majadamus

Audio, better graphics, ya know? That extra 10 bucks for a game should mean something.

Yes. Inflation in the economy. Not extra junk.

[QUOTE="DA_B0MB"]6.14 gigs = 6.0 on GS. Gigs determine the scores people. Willy105

MP3 is 4.2 GB X 2 = 8.5!!!!! :o It's true!!!!!

Conspirisy theory am confirmed.

I own a 360 and don't plan on buying Halo 3 I refuse to pay full price for half a game. After Halo2 and Fable being a rip off I'm done with both franchises.

I beat Zelda TP in about 50 hours I'd say I got my moneys worth.

[QUOTE="THE_Rob_Himself"]hmmm so its longer than HS, has multiplayer, looks just as good, and has more music, and sounds.

but its smaller.

bu but teh blu ray iz teh needdedz0rs!
AskForDetails

i stopped when you said looks just as good as HS, you are justasking to be flamed

10 mile draw distance, lotsa characters on screen, 30 FPS, HDR Lighting.

go ahead and flame me. HS is garbage.

lawl, the HS mention completely pwned this topic, size doesn't matter, Blu Ray failzwok7

I have to agre with you although I want a ps3 sony screwed up! blueray was not needed this gen

[QUOTE="MoldOnHold"]Ugh, why do people keep thinking that:

more storage = better game? :?
SillyManimal

I don't think anyone believes that, it's justthat with more storage more things are possible. If DVD9 had more storage, Gears could have been longer.

Just re-read what I said.

its called multiplayer.

i have more than 700 hours on halo 2.

source o.O

although, if longer campains than PS3 can be stuck onto one disc...well :roll:

blu ray sucks xD Ok not really, i admit it pumps out some wicked sound thanks to the extra space...but unless you have it hooked into a surround system, 'Not many folk do' its wasted on them :P

Lucky i have one ^^

Half a game?... Halo games are some of the longest lasting games ever due to excellent co-op play (4 player co-op now) and the endless fun online. A third of a million people still log onto Halo 2 everyday. You really need to look up the differences between Halo 2 and Halo 3. You don't want to miss this one.

Does it matter it will be the best game out this year and I'll be playing the multiplayer for years to come.CrazyyyDylan

I can't take you seriously. 12-15 hours for a shooter is great. Multiplayer is what keeps a game alive. I can't stand single player only games because they all end up being returned for me. For example, Bioshock, great game. I haven't played it in a month. Halo 2... I played it for 2 hours yesterday.

Thats because they dump every language under the sun onto the disc, Halo 3 has more lines of dialogue than Heavenly Sword.

Wii and PS2 games get cheaper to make, so they remain the same price due to inflation, instead of getting lower.

Meh...you should probably try RPGs then. And if a game has different difficulty settings (Like an incredibly challenging unlockable setting like Master Ninja)..it'll be worth it.

No, he isn't. Stop being so blind: Halo 3 is not Halo 2, and even Halo 2 didn't take 7 hours (unless you did a speed run I guess. I played on Heroic and beat the game in 11). Millions enjoy Halo's campaign -- get over it.

Multi player is a copout so studio's can save ondevelopment time and money. What you can't have a decent single player campain and multiplayer?jdc6305

Explain to me exactly how building essentialy two games and putting them on one disc is saving a development studio money? You DO realize developers usually hire an entire extra team just for multiplayer, right? Obviously not.

6-8 hour campaign on Gears says otherwse

OnHeroic that would be true. It is a 9 to 10 hour game on Normal. From what one guy has been saying on the IGN boards, Legendary seems impossible unless you are playing co-op. He has already beat the game on Normal and Heroic.

Link to 9-10 hours on normal?

Are you an IGN paying member?

no? but i think this would be all over the interwebz

Well then the link would useless because you have to pay to use their forums and other services. There are at least 4 or 5 threads with people giving impressions on IGN and all of them have said it is awesome and the game is 9 to 10 hours on Normal, 12 or more hours on Heroic and one guy has been playing Legendary and says it is hard as hell to the point where he is now only playing through it in co-op with his friend.

Oh and if you want to look all over the interwebz, as you put it :lol: , then go use this search tool called Google. It might help you out, but br prepared to get spoiled. ;)

Oh, well on gamespot, a guy said 5 hours on easy 7 on normal 8 1/2 on heroic and 10 1/2 on legendary.

But that's more than enough for me.

If halo was MP alone, it would be enough for me.

Pointing out the size of Halo or any other game for that matter is some what irrelevant.

It would be similar to saying that only 5 cubic feet of a car's trunk was used when it could hold up to 7 cubic feet. Well of course less space than the max was used otherwise it would be impossible or two cars would be required.

I'd like to think we all agree that games are going to get bigger, and like most other things in computing, requirments increase exponentially. UT 2004 is 5.67 GB; I believe that game was released in 2003. So the fact that some games are still around the same range is rather surprising. Which would make me think that the lack of higher storage mediums is partially responsible for this odd trend.

Whether we need 50GB or more this gen is up in the air (although I'm leaning to yes). But one thing is for sure, the faster we get this technology out the cheaper it will be tomorrow. So why everyone is acting like it is a bad thing is beyond me.

Disappointingly short? Oh that's right... You Nintendo fanboys love those Metroid games where you have 3 hours of gameplay padded with 7 hours of backtracking.

really? well i guess it isn't hard i mean look at what some somputer games do with less...

anyway does it really matter what size it is as long as its a good game i dont think people will really care how big it is

Yeah ok...

Where did this number come from? I can confirm that the game is 7.30 gigs. There is an illegal compressed version out there that is 6.14 gigs, key word compressed...kevy619

what about illegal illegal and compressed means a seriosly comprimised game but hey if u wanna buy an illegal compressed version of a game cause its cheaper be my guest

The part before it.

Oblivion, it's a 100+ hour game, yet you can beat it in less than a day. But, rpgs aren't fun if you don't do any side quests.

If your talking about the CCLX release its 6.14gb compressed, 7.02gb uncompressed.

Oh and LOL at consoles not having piracy problems.

Not because of backtracking. They just make it longer.

devs compress the code during development, just so they don't hit the limit by surprise. how much time is consumed and money wasted on compressing information? just consider the question.Mordred19

None. Compression is free and can be done at any time, such as compile time. :|

Less then the money it takes to develop for the ps3. Hopefully they make the harddrives standard soon.
