Proof that DVD9 is limited, Mass Effect Chris Priestly comments

DVD 9 is fine so long as you only keep one audio track for the game, but if you wanna say keep a Japanese audio track as well an American audio track thats when space becomes an issue. The devs at Sega compained about it for Shenmui and Yakuza when they were forced to dump the original Japanese audio to accomadate for the new English language track when localizing the games for State side release. Especiall long voice driven games like RPGs DVD9 just can't hold a second audio track for the entire game. This was an issue with Final Fantasy games that had to dump Japanese Audio for American Dubbing. So I think the article is talking about data storage rather than RAM seeing as they mention Voice Over and Dialogue as a big factor in storage. pimperjones

Devs are so scared of using 2 DVDs. Like at gears couldn't they put the SP on 1 and the MP on the other even if they didn't fill each completely.turgore

honestly the PS1 games I have played with multiple disks, I don't ever remeber having to put a lower numbered disk back in to back track?? Metal Gear Solid, FFVII and VIII, Chrono Cross, I don't remember having to do that

And we care, why?

Mass Effect will be godly, regardless.
