Rage might need 3 discs on 360 version due to Multiplayer

http://www.shacknews.com/featuredarticle.x?id=1182&page=2

It's a pretty decent article. A lot of info about the game. Anyway, thoughts?

To be honest, how many discs it comes on is irrelevant and the people that make a deal out of it, are only doing so to stir something up.

Blu-ray isn't necessary huh?

Bluray Ultra high capacity, ultra high quality, unscratchable and games cost no more to buy on it than on 360. Ya, I think Bluray wins hands down.

I'm pretty sure no one in this thread cares about multiple discs, but since this is system wars, and two sides are clashing, some PS fan is going to boast BR and some 360 fan will defend, but in reality none of them really care.

That time is when now? Right when the next gen consoles begin and Blu-ray discs stop?

I will just instal that **** on my 120 GB HDD and not have to worry about diskswapping. Oh and Rage will probably be on four discs from the sound of it.

it necessary for under 1 percent of the total games released.

at least they play nice movies on my bravia but as for games i have yet to see the supperiority of bluray " more storage "very few games take advantage of it maybe next gen blueray will play a bigger roll but as for this gen most games doesnt need mopre than 1 dvd.

The thing is Caramack said the PS3 version might even look better than the PC version due to less compression(only texture wise).

There has been a long standing argument between lems and cows that games will not surpass 9GBs and that blu-ray was completely unnecessary

Now that this game could possibly ship on 3 DVDs, the whole "blu-ray is not needed" argument can be finally put to rest

If you're gonna disagree with someone, could you maybe BACK UP your arguement instead of posting 2 worthless words?

Oh wait, of course you CAN'T back it up because the article CLEARLY states the benefits of Bluray over DVD.

if it was necessary, rage wouldnt come out for the 360

[QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"][QUOTE="zero_snake99"] It just comes to show that the days of BD's not "mattering" this generation are quickly coming to a close. The DVD is a format that is showing its age. Also, it has a hefty publishing cost due to Microsofts royalties on games with more than 2 discs.

[QUOTE="Camer999"]

[QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"] um except one thing, the argument was never about space, it was about graphics, and superiority of games. Nothing has been shown that because its on bluray its superior in either graphics, or gameplay or pretty much any thing else.zero_snake99

Well either way Rage PS3>360 am confiremed, unless it has a worse framerate.

Edit: I may be wrong with the Fallout 3 one. I don't have it for PS3 so I just looked at a cover online (VGCover) and it said 10mb... but then I looked at Oblivion which is 4.6gigs so I think I'm wrong with the Fallout 3 one.

Anyway, point is, I'm wrong lol. Most PS3 games seem to take about 50 megs each.

Either way, Capcom tends to make crap ports and we all know it.

[QUOTE="Camer999"]

[QUOTE="zero_snake99"] Carmack said he thought about releasing a "raw data" package for those who wanted to play Rage with no compression. All the assets uncompressed = around 150 gigs... which is mad insane.anshuk20002

Yea, I am caramacks brother. lol, but no he said it would be better than the PC version unless you uncompress the assets because more compression= the worse it looks. The PS3 version is having framerate problems though.

Um games have been passing 9gbs on my PC for a while now. And PC games don't come on Blu-Ray.

You bring a good point. I acually see that happening to tell you the truth. I never jumped into the "Blu-Ray is the future" wagon. I like that the PS3 uses Blu-Ray for its games becuz the have more space and have protective layers so that the dont get scratch, but Blu-Rays are not going to over take DVDs, Digital download has a better chance.

Why do cows make a huge deal about swapping discs, when huge games usually come with installs, or heavy caches to the hard drive (temporary installations)?? KZ2, and Uncharted uses duplicate data, AND heavy cache to the hard drive, and KZ2 has MID LEVEL LOADING because of it (dont lie, i played it) and Uncharted has a long initial load while it caches data. All of this is because of the slow bluray speeds. this method is expensive because the RIGHT data has to be placed in the RIGHT places because bluray reads differently than DVD. 1st party (or sony funded) games can afford it, but 3rd parties cant.............so they use the cheaper method.........installs. All this makes all that extra space redundant. Swapping discs is easier, faster, and cheaper than using a 2x bluray player. You can bet that rage will have an install as well. Why do cows think more space = uncompressed data = better graphics?? truth is uncompressed data = more space used = longer load times/or install/heavy cache. Had the PS3 used a 6x or higher drive, then all that space would be usefull. But, as it stands, data on bluray is compressed just as it is on 360, and duplicated over the disc. this is why killzone 2 has "2gb per level" that GG was shouting during development. Data is compressed to shorten load times. Compressed data loads faster than uncompressed data.
