[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"][QUOTE="legalize3"]you do know that crysis is also a xp game so no it wont be a streaming game and devs cant bank on 3rd party programs...so it will be 100% an installation gamelegalize3

Dude, Blu-ray nor HD are needed, These games did not need those to be awsome, got it, end of story.

He was saying how much of an advantage it was for the PS3, but yet 360 does not have it and has more AAA's. Now tell me why it is needed, when it really has no advantage other than storage.It adds no graphics capabilities whatsoever. It is only needed for movies not games.

It was debunked ORLY ??

You won't see different times of day per city because this involves recreating all the textures again (one for day and one for night). Whilst this wasn't a problem for our dev team, it was a problem fitting all this data onto a single DVD. So we've worked around the problem by providing different lighting models per city. For example, Macau is always in the daytime, but if you play it during a storm everything looks darker and more foreboding. If you play during a blizzard then things are slightly tinged blue and everything seems more frozen. Of course, playing this track in sunshine will make everything appear bright and yellowy.

Now today they say:

Rather than having two "fixed" times of day, this time around we decided to use our time to create a dynamic weather system, which effectively creates a much more dramatic palette from which to work with. We've never had to cut content to fit on the disc, and we probably never will.

Time of day dropped confirmed due to lack of space on dvd-9 :lol:

I see you ignored every other point I made. It's tough to respond when you've got no points, but it was a good try in making a big deal out of only one point.

the extra $200 in price for bluray to be included is a HUGE disadvantage to mass gamers.... as proven by the poor ps3 sales...

nice try...;)

tango90101

its selling better than ps1/ps2 in their first year and how come the 360 is failing to the wii?

[QUOTE="OldParr"]and yet we get AAA games.blue ray is not neededdarklord888

if blu-ray pushes new standards in gaming like dynamic day and night..... ?

that reused textues building charactors more than just about any game, scda is way bigger but its smaller
