[QUOTE="nasos_333_basic"][QUOTE="Xanog1"][QUOTE="CaptainCrazy"][QUOTE="the_bi99man"] [QUOTE="erikers"][QUOTE="reelbigfish"] [QUOTE="blazealot420"]i doubt it but it would be cool especially with blu ray Xanog1
I am so confused about Blu-Ray.... What exactly does it do??
He's saying that it would be cool to put a game that doesn't exceed the size limit of a DVD disc on a Blu Ray disc that does exceed that size for no reason.
The Fanboys are vicious tonight. Anyway. To answer your question. Blu-Ray is a new disc format developed by Sony working with several other companies (including Apple, HP, and bunch of other electronics companies, I can't remember them all). All the games for the PS3 (and movies in the future--depending on the outcome of the Blu-Ray/HD-DVD format war) will be published in this format. The max capacity of a Dual Layer DVD-9 that the 360 uses is 9 Gigabytes. The max capacity of a Dual Layer Blu-Ray is 52 Gigabytes (25.somethingGB single layer). The Elder Scrolls games have always been very big. Lots of stuff, good graphics, and massive worlds. The entire game could be bigger and better on a Blu-Ray disc, rather than a DVD-9. And the Blu-Ray also contributes to the resolution. It takes a good chunk of space to develope a game in 1080p.
Oblivion is only using 1 Xbox 360 DVD disk.
How so?
I heard that the sound took up half the disk.
There is no way that a game can have next-gen graphics, contain amazing physics, lighting, and textures, have in-game cutscenes, have the ability to render 16 miles of environment on the fly, have a constantly evolving world, provide the ability for the amount of detail in create-a-character as shown so far, have all of the attacks and spells in the game, and animate all the thousands of enemies and npcs on the fly, with less than half of a DVD disk and still not be problem-ridden.
Not saying that Oblivion won't be good (in fact it'll own, which is why I'm getting it for PC), but I don't see how all the rest of the content can be fit onto 1 disc without compressing it to the max and having massively long loading times, or potential file confusion.
Are you working on the game ? Otherwise how the HELL do you know how much space Oblivion takes up ??? By the way, if they were to cut back on graphics to fit it, they would rather cut back on sound quality, which will do if does not fit than make the game look terrible instead. How about that, it makes more sense, right ?
They said it will have the pc graphics at the highest setting, so they are not cutting ANYTHING from the graphics because of the smaller storage space. I hope i did not dissapoint you, but visit the official forums and see the truth. It is simple, the game can fit in DVD9, no compromises made
The most important thing is that if Oblivion can fit nicely on a DVD9 then i can think of no game that could not.
I was just basing that whole point upon what I heard about the devs saying the sound took up half the DVD. I'll see if I can find the link again.
It has been discussed in forums that this does not stand any more. Anyway, the game will fit one, confirmed, so there is nothing to speculate, it has been confirmed the game will fit all pc stuff on one dvd
As for FF, yes i suppose this one game is fit for blu-ray, with huge high res videos making us cry with joy. But i never wanted videos over actual in game stuff, and Oblivion offers just that, and any other game the size of Oblivion will fit xbox's disks, with compromise only in pre-rendered videos, which are good, but not to die for.
