Sheppard Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Yawn, im getting bored of this "wouldnt fit on a dvd9" crap, if their games are that big then they are either doing something wrong or using crap compression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes ok mr developer :p You may be tired to hear it, but that's what is going to come from a 1st party Sony developer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wst50 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Like the PS3 is going to be able to use all of that at once. It'll just be a loooong, dragged out storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lost Odyssey developers must be using the ****iest compression methods ever, since the game takes 4 DVD's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corris Veteran Posted September 23, 2007 Veteran Share Posted September 23, 2007 Like the PS3 is going to be able to use all of that at once. It'll just be a loooong, dragged out storyline. Yus because an Xbox360, and all the earlier consoles could use a whole DVD/CD in one go, and the PS3 is the first to have a game that loads bit by bit of a disk. Oh wait.. I don't care how big the game is, but only if it is a good game that is worth taking up that much space, and considering all Rachet & Clank games from pretty much every reviewer has had over 8/10, I'm inclined to believe it is. And please lets not have a argument over the disk capacity in this topic, I think the Lost Odyssey topic is where that's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meshuggah86 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 The Lost Odyssey developers must be using the ****iest compression methods ever, since the game takes 4 DVD's. They are using uncompressed CG video for their cut-scenes, rather than real-time video from the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sn00pie Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Wooooooot! I can't wait for the demo, October 4th! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo003 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I am sure they have lot of stuff uncompressed because they are not worried about the disk space. If it were to be DVD 9 then I am sure they would have. Also I am guessing that the game would be 6 to 8 hours max, and lot of CG movies is uncompressed as delicate said. As of last year PS3 is rich man's console while 360 are for both rich and poor man's console. I am just pointing out 360 since the quote in to first post referring to DVD9 (comparing PS3's BR to 360' DVD). I mean how many of you guys have 1080i or p TV?

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted September 23, 2007 Veteran Share Posted September 23, 2007 It's obvious the space is taken up because a lack of compression. It's hardly pushing the limits of gfx today (N) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hardly pushing the limits of gfx today (N) At 60FPS and 1080 I don't see how it isn't doing a good job of gfx. The game looks very pixar like in quality if you ask me. Not as good as an actual movie, but it is very colourful and bright. Have we been watching the same trailers? :rofl: Even the review says "Endless visual jazz" ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhav Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 So what if it hasn't been compressed? It means they can spend more time and resources on making the actual game a top title...and judging by that score, it looks like they've done a good job.

It was this trailer I watched. and fps and res have nothing to do with the detail in the textures :p They looked very flat imo. Visual jazz?

I think the game will be seen as a AAA title by the majority as well.

Just don't see any reason why it would take 22GB, and most likely their isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't let that bother you... leave it up to the developers to say how big the game is/make the game ;) After all it is their game. Who are we to judge if they want to/need to use 22GB of space. I can't comment on whether or not they genuinely need the space, but when they're pumping out games of this calibar who really cares :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
