Will Xbox 720 games still require 2 or more discs?

Lol, I'm late to the party finding out most Xbox games are 2 discs. Takes me back to the PS2 days. 'Please insert disc 2 to continue.'I'm guessing Microsoft will step it up for the 720.

Its only takes 20 fvcking seconds to change discs.I dont see what the big deal is.

Not that many games require a disc swap. Your use of the word 'most' is inaccurate.

Most 360 games have one disc, not the other way around. There's maybe 20+ games in the entire library that have more than one.

And next gen, MS will either go Blu Ray or use a proprietary disc format.

Maybe later in the gen.

I have no problem with it. I have been changing discs since Amiga 500 days.

Well for one thing, I've seen a some people complaning about games with cheap, paper thin disc holders some Xbox games have like the steelbook edition for AC3 and even the collectors edition for ME3 if I'm not mistaken where both discs are on the same disc holder. I assumed by now both Xbox and PS3 games were all on one disc.

If it keeps DVD format for whatever stupid reason, yes it will. rjdofu

Did you really think I was so stupid that I wouldn't notice a run-on sentence?

I liked how you made this thread based on your own assumption. Your method was unscientific.

That's what I mean. I'd be pretty pissed having to pry dsics out of a $100 game I brought hoping I don't break the discs. Microsft would have to be out of their minds to continue the dvd format for the 720.

MOST? Forza (car disc requiring an install and never has to be used again) and Rpgs.

Probably less than 5% of 360 games use more than one disc.

Also there is a strong chance the next gen MS console will use Blu Ray, they may have backed the wrong horse HDDVD, but MS don't have so much pride they wouldn't use the winner if it will benefit them.

M$ should just invest in SD cards. They hold a good amount and it will take away the price, heat, space and noise of a disk drive.

Some games will.

But what about this question:

Will Sony still force people to instal a game that takes 10 minutes to instal? I think that situation is worse then the disk swapping ain't it?

lol changing disks, my PS1 does that

[QUOTE="TheEroica"][QUOTE="rjdofu"] Yeah I know :P, not that I care about swapping disks though. But bluray + better reading speed = winner. rjdofu

MS would have to have s**t for brains if they think they can survive next gen without a high capacity disc for their games. Either they are going to go with Bluray or some other proprietary format based on Bluray like the WiiU .mstrchf12

I hope there will be a minimum of like 10 disks because it means we are getting so much more for the money plus the added appeal of a game when you've already put 75 hours in the game and you have yet to get to disk 6 out of 10 !! :shock: :twisted:

I hate switching disks so much. The other day, I had to put he second disk from Resident Evil 4 in my Wii and literally almost spilled my two 64 ounce store brand sodas and I went all crazy and kicked my cat. After the fact, I discovered that the cat as actually my newborn baby in a cat costume my wife bought at K Mart for Thanksgiving. And it turns out that the baby is actually the mail man's. My life is now a ruin, and its all because I had to change disks. Please Microsoft, don't let this happen to others.ekalbtwin

You have no idea what you're talking about if you think "most" Xbox games are 2 discs. :|

i have a game that requires 4 disc and a game that requires 3 -two actually -la noire rage and 2 that require 2 -forza 3 and 4 lol

i hope not , if one disc breaks you gotta buy the whole set , which is what sucks about 4 disc games lol

and to say they wont use dvd again is stupid,

you dont know what their doing , they can still use dvd a newer type of dvd could be used

one that holds just as much as bluray - wiiu uses similar method -different type of disc that hold the same amount as a bluray

If it keeps DVD format for whatever stupid reason, yes it will. rjdofu

But it wouldn't make sense for them to keep DVD since they would be the only console next gen to have less then a 25GB disc capacity.

That is if they keep DVD; since even Nintendo would have larger discs then Microsoft.

hopefully not:P

Nope, I'm pretty sure that Xbox 720 will get Blu-ray.

I'd be VERY surprised if it didn't.

A 20 second swap >>> A 5-10 wait for a mandatory installationZeviander

Nintendo's Wii U disc (proprietary version of Blu-ray) reads at 22MB/s

360's disc reads at 15.85MB/s and PS3's Blu-ray reads at 9MB/s
