Lol who cares whether you have to swap disks or not

DroidPhysX

You really think 2 discs would work in a game liek this? Would would it? OH! you want to access the left half of the world? Insert disc 2.

it is in a game like this. oblivion isa giant open world game. Its not liek rage where they CAN spilt it into two discs. In roder for multidisc to really work in this game, it would need to have a install streaming option so you can install the second disc and just stream it off the first, eliminating a swap.

Can someone correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the 360 GoTY edition merely have the second disk in order to install the Shivering Isle and Knights of the Nine expansions?None of the Gamebyro games this gen have forced players to switch disc, why is everyone assuming TES5 will?

Regardless, I'll definitely have a PC for this game. :P

Because elderscrolls 4 was pushing the 6.8gb limit to begin with, and if Skyrim is going to be bigger and look better, its going to require more gbs if they cant do compression magic on it.

XboximusPrime

What makes you think it will be like that? I would think you would have to switch discs based on how far you are in the main story line, not which part of the world you are in. That would be idiotic.

Is it confirmed Skyrim is going to be larger? Judging from maps, Cyrodiil looks a fair bit larger than Skyrim.

Or yeah, they can go the easy route and make the world smaller so 360 users will not have a problem with it.

Elderscrollsisnt linear like that. You can literaly go anywhere at any time. even in Mass Effect 2 if you wanted to go to certain solar syestems you had to pop in disc 2.

The world is open, but the main story line is linear. You can have the same open world data duplicated on both disks including all the random/optional stuff you can do in any order. But the main plot can be sequential. Put half the main plot on disk 1 and half on disk 2. Problem solved. This is easy to implement if you need more than one disk, but nowhere near two full disks. Just duplicate 80% of the data on the two disks. Production cost wise this isn't going to make a much of a difference whether you write to 10% of disk 2 or 100% of disk 2. This is similar to the BD disks containing large volumes of duplicate data for some PS3 games to allow better streaming/reading from the disk. If you have extra capacity you can do these things.

Yes, I know the world is open. That's why it would be stupid to swap discs based on what part of the world you are in.

The main storyline will be fairly linear. So it makes much more sense to swap discs based on that. Once you hit a certain part of the story, you swap discs to access all the data of the rest of the main storyline (all that dialogue, sounds, characters, whatever). All the data like towns and citizens of those towns will just be on both discs.

The Pc version will be the best by a long shot, and I am willing to bet the 360 version is going to be better the the ps3, That is the way Mp usually go. I would be suprised if the ps3 got the better version of the 2, as for fitting on one disk, who cares? What we cant have more then one disk now?

I can see an optional install kind of like Forza 3.

If Microsoft doesn't adopt Blu-Ray next gen they will be really behind the game.

the way your making it sound it sounds like the game will be there twice. i still dont get how what you are saying will work. Your basicaly saying have the whole game on both discs, but how can that be possible if the whole game cant fit on one disc to begin with potentialy?

another way of saying, TC your right, the 360 version will be inferior...

[QUOTE="RickyRevolver"]

[QUOTE="vashkey"] Not much of a victory when you have to wait an entire year for it and it costs fourty dollars more than the 360 version. Not to mention you missed out on the entire first game.

Ps - PC version will be better.

Example (all numbers made up).

One DVD disk = 100%

Entire game = 120% (won't fit on one disk)

Main story line = 40% of a single DVD

Everything else = Open world, side quests, random encounters, everything except main storyline = 80% of a single DVD

Disk 1 = everything else (80%) plus half the main story (20%)

Disk 2 = everything else (80%) plus the other half of the main story (20%)

I can see an optional install kind of like Forza 3.

Or at least find a better storage solution.

The problem with Blu-Ray for MS is that they would have to pay royalties to the Blu-Ray Disc Association for every sale. Of course MS could just join them since they have expanded into a hardware manufacturer.

I agree with you 100%, multiplats play better on the 360, but disk space is a whole other story.

come on... you can't seriously say playing the game in 2 disks feels more comfortable then 1
