Will Elder Scrolls 5 even fit on 360's DVD 9 or will PS3 win again ?

If anyone recalls, the information was leaked back in 2006 that Bethesda almost didn't fit E.S. 4 Oblivion on one 360 disc, but they did some extra texture compressions and made it fit on the one disc, but it came with the price of slow downs, pop ups, freeze ups and so on.

Which is probably why the PS3 version of the game runs so much smoother, hardly any compressed textures on a 50gb capacity disc.

Which is proven with the G.O.T.Y. Oblivion on 360 it's on 2 discs, on PS3 it's on one.

Now there is speculation that Elder Scrolls 5 will be bigger in scale than it's predecessor and most definitely won't fit on a DVD-9.

You 360 fans getting it yet ? this is what i've been talking about, eventually games will exceed DVD-9 capacity and one day you'll be stopping mid way through a game to do some disc switching, even with compressed textures accept now you'll have compressed textures on 2 discs.

As games get more graphically detailed and bigger in scale they will require more gigs of storage on disc and the 360 media simply won't have the space, and games system analysts Michael Pachter already said Microsoft will never put a Blu-Ray drive in one of there consoles because it's a Sony product and they never want to pay royalties to Sony.

Wow stinks to be a 360 owner, but i'm feeling pretty good about being a PS3 owner about now.

Free online play, 320-gb stock hard drive, Blu-Ray storage and movies, included rechargeable controller, and in my opinion better exclusives, not to mention the reliability of being made in Japan.

No, it won't fit, they just listed the 360 version for lulz.

best on pc anyway

Oh man that must suck, having to switch the disc halfway through the game. :( Will TOTALLY ruin the game experience.

Oh well, at least the PS3 one will run at 60 fps at 1080p thanks to the Blu-Ray right TC? :P

I don't think I'll be able to handle switching discs if it turns out to be true. It's just too much work.

Elder Scrolls without mods...

Im getting it for PC so its pretty much redundant.

Even if I only had a 360, disc switching wouldnt bother me much.

[QUOTE="gamer620"] It was a 25gb disc for the record, and it ran better on PS3 because it came out a year after with the fixes that already made to previous versions.MFDOOM1983

Because Oblivion on PS3 was not handled by Bethesda, while Fallout 3 was :P

Umm no, PS3 Blu-Ray discs are over 50-gb in capacity not 25-gb, and if thats why you think the PS3 version ran better than why didn't any updates get released for the 360 version to make it run better ? wanna' know why because, as i said the PS3 version had almost no compressed textures on the disc because of all the available disc space.Slimmin360

I think he meant the game uses a single layered blu-ray disc, which holds 25 gigs. Dual layered hold 50.

And here we go, with the disc space arguments.

The gamecube only had 1.5 gb discs, But that didn't stop it from having the best looking games this generation. Aside from literally a few xbox games.

Oblivion on 360 doesnt use all disk space. Only 4.5gb i think.

But yeah, i want Skyrim to be perfect so Bethersda should use 2 disks. One to install and other to run the game, just like Forza3.

wow "stinks" to only own consoles, ill be playing the best version on the best platform, the pc:Dbroken_ops

Well, i didnt have a problem with ME2 since it was more or less a linear game. Skyrim is open world so it would be a big problem to change disks in real time :P

The only reason I could see someone playing it for the PS3 than on their PC is if their PC is quite old. :P

Probably, I was amazed when I saw Just Cause 2 was only 4.1GB on 360! Wow, that is the hugest 3D world I have played in and it's fairly small for a 360 game. But doesn't mean ES5 will be like that.SaltyMeatballs

it's 4.1 Gb's because the textures are horrible :P

That has nothing to do with what he said. We all know that Blu-Ray discs have a bigger storage than a DVD. What he is saying is that limited disc space is the end of the world, there are work arounds. Either use disc swapping (not the best choice with Skyrim), or as someone else said, have a second disc that is used for install, like what Turn 10 did with Forza 3.

Now you're too obvious.

You got greedy.

Slimmin360

Yes of course, The PS3 is a superior console to the xbox 360 because it comes from Japan and the 360 doesn't.

Please note my sarcasm. :roll:
