The FUTURE of gaming - 1.6 TB on ONE DISC!!

[QUOTE="double-r"]i heard forza 3 was shipping on 2 dvdAnnoyedDragon

Multiple disks, the horror, how will people cope with something that has been around since consoles began using optical disks?

What does a disc having more space have to do with resolution... I would of taught people would of learned by now with the PS3...

We won't see anything like this used for gaming for a long time

thats what they said about dvd's when they started coming out, didn't take long for those to get filled quick.

LOL its Kojima's dream, surely he wouldn't be able to fill up a 1 TB disc!!!godofwar2610

it wont work for gaming. Too much space. It would take years to develop one game that could fill up the disc. Plus the consoles would probably cost a grand or so.

Yeah, but as games grow, so will technology. Larger poly counts and what not will mean that this space will be needed.

There's already huge MANDATORY installs needed for blu-ray video games. I could only imagine how huge the installs would be for something like this. That or like 10 minute long load times..xsubtownerx

Depend on factors like cpu disk read rateAND ram.

Which are way ahead in terms of speed, so it really depends of the speed of read disc.

So unnecessary.

What the hell would they use all that space for?

Who knows how much memory will be needed for tomorrows games.

I really think that we won't need disks at allten years from now(except maybe DVDs for word documents and such).

Meh. In a few years, we will stop usting discs and use usb drives

Wow, with all that space imagine how huge a gameworld you could make.

That's way to big for gaming, but the possibilites for porn are limitless.

i think this disc will only benefit kojima, you can expect MGS6 to be 4 hour gameplay and 10,000 hour epic cutscenes

As much as some developers want to have more capacity in the medium, I have a feeling that it is not a good idea.

One reason is because it could lead to higher development cost. More capacity means more things can be put in a game.

Nonetheless, it also mean more time and cost to develop games in the future.

Right now, as much as MGS 4 have used the full capacity of the Blu-Ray, DVD remain the dominant format as the movie and video game industry has proved.

If Wii and PS2 have thought as about gaming and the mass market, it's all about the functionality, not technology.
