The PS3's Blu-Ray format wont really matter for games this gen.

First and foremost, i am a cow and yes i own a PS3. But unlike 98.8345% of the cows, lemmings, sheeps, and hermits out there, i will admit that the console i like the best has its pros and cons like every other one. This post will have grammar mistakes, this isnt school, its a game forum.

I really dont think that having a built in Blu-Ray player will matter for games (and the PS3) this gen because well, the only console that has it isnt at the top or even near the top spot. Think about it, the 360 and PC still use DVDs for games and when devs make games, it more than likely to be multiplatform these days. That means that the devs will be less than likely to really take advantage of Blu-ray. They will try to make sure that they can fit it on a DVD9. Devs make games and port it over to the PS3 anyways. Devs will be less likely to take advantage of something that only one system has.

But i think that games this gen will be bigger and that they will be bigger than what a DVD9 can hold, but the devs arent going to ship 5-9 discs. They are going to keep it as low as possible because they dont want to ship a bunch of discs and a lot of packaging. They will use 2-3 discs and maybe even 4 in rare situations. Am i saying that the 360 not having Blu-Ray is holding games back? Yes i am.

But then you say, "but the exclusive games one the PS3 will". And i agree, yes they will. but as you can see, more exclusives are becoming multiplats and PS3 exclusives dont represent the entire industry. I think that the industry will try to make games as small as possible this gen. it would have mattered if Sony had kept the exclusives on the PS3 becuase you would have many many games (with big names) that would take advantage of it.

EDIT: To the fanboys who didnt even read my post, read the post in bold above. Im talking about non PS3 exclusive games. Geez.

it would only matter when developing a PS3 level games, MGS4. KZ2, U2 which not surprisengly exclusives,

It's Blu-Ray, not Blue-Ray, please spell it right. Blu-Ray has uses for movies, for games it has yet to be seen in my opinion.

Wow your are really blind. Did i not say that Blu-Ray is better? Yes i did but your just to blind to see it. Heres the quote:

"All i'm saying is that even though Blue Ray is better, it wont matter for games because most devs wont take advantage of it. "

And your trying to correct my spelling error? It looks like you dont even know how to spell correctly.

It matters for PS3 exclusives.

How do i think that DVDs = Blue ray discs? I dont. All i'm saying is that even though Blue Ray is better, it wont matter for games because most devs wont take advantage of it. They wont take advantage of something only one system has. They need to make it fit on a DVD9 and all of the systems have the 9GBs of capacity on the disc format.Twig978

Your (OP) logic is flawed. Why? The article below smacks you in the face that's why.

Contrary to what Square Enix would have us believe: FFXIII PS3 is COMPROMISED

Yesterday, we covered an interview with Final Fantasy XIII(XBOX 360, Playstation 3) producer, Yoshinori Kitase, which had him reassuring fans that FFXIII going multiplatform did not compromise design at all. Today, we have here Kitase talking to GameTrailers, and admitting that the PS3 version has been indeed compromised to "keep both versions of the game identical."

Specifically, the PS3 version will not have the Japanese voices with English subtitles because, well, it can't fit on the Xbox 360 and since they want to be "fair" to both platforms, then they won't put it on the PS3 as well - regardless if it can afford to have the Japanese audio track or not. Which it totally can.

Not only that, but the pacing of the PS3 version will also be affected because of the Xbox 360 version. Analyzed PS3 Center:

When Final Fantasy moved to PlayStation 2, it only ever appeared on 1 DVD. This meant that unlike previous iterations on the original PlayStation, every area within the game could technically be open at any time. In previous games, some areas appeared on some discs, and were closed off in others. The same can even be said for games such as Lost Odyssey on the Xbox 360, due to the space constraints of the DVD, the majority of side-quests appeared on the final disc. Final Fantasy XIII will be affected in the same way.

This is not a huge problem if an RPG is 360 exclusive or developed for Xbox 360 first, but if it is meant to be developed on the PS3 first and take advantage of ALL its features, then it is a problem.

If the game was on a single Blu-Ray disc, it would allow the player to explore many areas, and many side-quests at any time throughout the game. However, due to the DVD limitations of the Xbox 360, the game will be cut up, and many areas you visit at the beginning of the game will most likely not be available towards the end of the game. This may be one of the main reasons that many PS3 fans are looking forward to Final Fantasy Vs XIII more than Final Fantasy XIII, because Versus represents an upgrade in scale whereas Final Fantasy XIII is actually a downgrade from earlier Final Fantasy games in that sense.

Sounds to me like that's quite a compromise right there, Mr. Kitase.

End article.

Edit- opps! I forgot to copy & paste the link for the article. Just in case someone wanted to see where it is from.

[QUOTE="too_much_eslim"][QUOTE="Twig978"] You didnt even read my post. The last paragraph talks about this. PS3 exclusives wont be held back but the thing is that PS3 exclusives dont represent the industry. The industry as a whole will try and accommodate as many systems as possible. Most games are multiplat, in fact the industry basically does multiplat games. And when you do this you cant take advantage of something that only one system has and the others dont. And even if the devs ship multiple discs, they will try and keep the discs as low as possible and the games as small as possible.Twig978
