Why Metal Gear Solid 4 Will Expand The PS3

Cutscenes are in-game, meaning they don't need the space CGI does.

Honestly, when so many games this generation don't need to break the DVD9 barrier for HD visuals, 5.1 sound and huge levels you have to ask yourself, why won't it fit?

I think it has something to do with his inclusion of TrueHD 7.1 audio. Unnecessary perhaps, but the Blu-Ray discs worth is certainly being put to use nonetheless.

Yes that's what I put it down to at the moment. Sound takes a very large amount of space in games.

All cutscenes in all MGS games use the game engine and not prerendered videos. And yet, he said he was gonna use a blu-ray 50. Actually, he said he would need a 100Gb disc in an interview at 1up. Maybe MGS4 will have 2 blu-ray50 discs.   

Even using 7.1 lossless sound, I think it would be very hard to fill 50GB, so Kojima must have something else up his sleeves.

Padding, ala Resistance? No texture compression whatsoever? A wallet full of Sonys cash to get him to fill up the disk?

I kid! I kid!

I just believe its the sound. I mean, generally textures need to be compressed so they can be loaded faster off the disk anyway (data can be decompressed faster than it can stream off a disk) and the amount of voice acting in the MGS series is usually huge.

100GB is just rediculous, that's a massive, massive amount of space.

I wonder then why Bioware said they took almost all the space of DVD9 with ME.tegovoltio

Use of uncompressed textures is unviable due to ps3 slow br-drive bandwidth, indeed, but 100Gb is still massive.

That's why i think it can't be only sound.

Maybe his developing the game with English and Japanese voice actings in the same disc. 

Maybe even Arab voice actings to make the game more imersive. 8) 

That could take up maybe more than 50GB, and just by adding subtitles for europe, it could effectily mean a world wide launch for mgs4.
