NEW MGS 4 BEING PORTED TO 360 Link inside
This topic is locked from further discussion.
If they compressed the game it could easily fit one DVD, maybe 2 at the most. But that's beside the point. This is old and unfunny.bohemian_bob
No offense but an unscaled and native 1080p resolution with Linear PCM sound would NOT fit on a DVD at all for a game like Metal Gear. Compressing code is not hard. Have 1 core working the compression in the back round while the other cores handle the main task (or just use the hard drive). Problem is, uncompressed is better bar none. Look at any Blu Ray or HD DVD movie with uncompressed sound. This is just an example. I wouldn't expect more then 2 disc. It is already 2 years into the 360 cycle, extremely high storage medium is not necessary at all. There will be some games that simply are stunning (like first Halo) that will push the medium. The same applies for Blu Ray storage capacity. Some games are going to need it.

being a sound engineer i do have to agree uncompressed is better, but i really dont think it would take 5-6 dvds to do metal gear solid 4, i mean 1-2 -3 at most. maybe 4 if they want to keep it closer to the uncompressed original, but hey doesnt anyone remember final fantasy on the ps1 it had like 4-5 discs and no one complained bout that, i personally dont mind getting up off my ass to change a disc out on a good game.

Final fantasy 1 came on 3 disc's I knowI played it and beat it back in the day.I still have it laying aroud somewhere.Resident evil 4 came on mutiple disc's but if you had to back track like if you forgot something you have to swap discs multiple times in a short time thatkinda sucks.If the game is ported over from a game that isn't on multiple discs it could end up switching at an inaporiate time.I also heard a rumor, a say again a rumor that the game is already on a 50 gig blu ray I wonder how many DVD 9's that is.Exculive games by 3rd party's are becoming rare though and it's not that one system isn't doing well compared to another it's justhow it isnow aday's.Grand theft auto's did extermly well on PS2 but they where still ported to Xbox.
