Kojima says,Blu-ray too small for MGS4

http://www.sonyprotectiongroup.com/forum/showthread.php?t=141

This bit of news will probably send the people who actually thought that 9 GB DVD's were enough for this generation of gaming into a frenzy, but as crazy as it sounds, Hideo Kojima recently said that "Blu-Ray is too small for Metal Gear Solid 4."
The current spec of Blu-Ray is only 25 GB, and he wants the newer spec 50 GB Blu-Ray for MGS4. (Not a Dual Layer 25 GB Blu-Ray, but the single layer 50 GB Blu-Ray)

While Hideo Kojima doesn't necesarily care much about HD, he says there's a lot you can do with sound that would fill up a Blu-Ray disc really quickly. On top of everything else in the game this apparently makes the game go way past the 25 GB limit. And Kojima said that he wants to use the new higher spec 50 GB Blu-Ray for MGS4.

Well I guess that confirms it. MGS4 for Xbox 360, an 18 disc box set! lol
On a serious note though, it looks like MGS4 on X360 won't even be possible.

This was reported on a podcast for 1 up yesterday. You can search for it on iTunes. It's called "1 up yours" but it's an hour long. I recorded that part of the pod cast though if anyone wants to listen.

Yeah its a bit old,but it looks like alot of lemmings haven't seen this news and still make topics about how MGS4 is going to be on the 360.

I'm a long time AVS poster, and they're completely wrong. The "current spec" of Blu Ray is not 25 gigs, several 50 gig Blu Ray movies have already been released (The Prestige, the Departed, etc.) There is absolutely nothing preventing a manufacturer/developer/studio from using a BD50 right now.

How old is your link?!?!

I trust Kojima's judgement.

LoL yeah,now the lemmings are going to start topics about FFXIII and how its going to be on the 360.:lol:****

I trust Kojima's judgement.

*Looks at ur avatar and sign*

I guess u do LMAO:P

I trust Kojima's judgement.

If Kojima knows that little about the equipment he's working with, I wouldn't trust his judgement.

BD50's have been being used for months. Movies have been released on BD50. The current spec of Blu Ray doesn't in any way prevent ANY manufacturer from using it.

That is the single worst idea for a game I've ever heard.

Just so you know, the link is from like Dec/Jan.

ROFL! If Oblivion could be done on a DVD disk, anything this gen could be. Maybe they are just programming a bunch of junk into it (like viruses! No jk, but you get what I mean).Grodus5

I wish people would stop bringing up Oblivion. A lot of the countryside environment was specially generated using spawning technology. They set the boundaries, the wireframes, the textures, the key locations of objets, but then used stuff like SpeedTree and random detail placement (rocks, plants, etc.) to fill it all in -- that's why it was difficult for Gamespot to do the PC vs. 360 comparison a while back. There are a lot of dynamic space saving techniques used to help make it fit on one DVD.

I really dont know why alot of people treat Kojima as a God, I mean he made one good series, MGS and thats it! I cant believe some people choose him over, lets say Miyamoto in "best developer" polls. Its ridiculous, he did nothing special or innovative for gaming, he just made a good franchise....SpaceDragonMan

Don't be so ignorant. He made Snatcher and Policenauts, both of which are considered some of the best adventure games to date (although the latter was never released outside of Japan). He also created Zone of the Enders and the Game Boy Advance series Boktai (Lunar Knights on the DS is a sequel).

I guess if you're talking about uncompressed audio, you could fill up a blu-ray disk pretty quickly. I don't know why anyone in their right mind would use uncompressed audio for a game though. Most people can't even tell the difference between a high bitrate MP3 and a 24-bit FLAC file.

Sure, bluray and DVDs aren't big enough IF YOU DON'T COMPRESS YOUR CRAP. I could fill up a bluray disc easily with uncompressed audio and video. Vandalvideo

I was thinking the same thing.

Instead of making a thousand threads of "Oh, BluRay is too small for the MGS4!!!111 Xflop 360 is never going to get it now!!!11" and then the immediate response of "Just compress it!!!111" and repeating variations on this theme over and over again, how about we wait until E3 and TGS to see, alright? E3 i tommorow, just chill out until then.
