Yo. I'm very impressed at the knowledge you all have about graphics.
Honestly. I've learned something from you all. But do we really need to get
so worked up about it calling each other names like 10 year olds? if the game
looks pretty, and you enjoyed playing it, whats the big deal really?

I would guess they did it for speed reasons. If the game wasn't rendering at

But...but...treknobabble always saved the day on Star Trek!
That would be great wouldn't it! The developers finally admit that due to the
limitations of 24th century technology they can only get the game to run
acceptably at 640p.

Oh, come on! These numbers are WAY over what the next Xbox will have.
Look at the jump from th Xbox1 to the 360. It was nowhere nearly this
great. The Xbox1 went from an 8GB hard drive to a 20GB harddrive (even
on the Premium edition) in five years (a 2.5x increase). And these
guys think it will jump from 20GB to a massive *4 TB* over the next
five (a 200x increase)!?!?!? The Xbox went from 64MB of memory on the
Xbox1 to 512 on the 360 (an 8x increase). But they expect a 16x
increase over the next five years?!?!?
And I expect a HD-DVD drive upgrade on the 360 *long* before 2011.
Developers are already pushing the limits of what a DVD can hold. If
they're still using a DVD drive in 2011, Sony will be mopping the
floor with them.
And any HD disc required for more space will also require tha that the
disc
drives (readers) also increase their read speeds. BR only reads at 2x and
many games have data replication to cover the discrepancy. I can't
imagine
playing a 20gig game @ 2x, the load times would put me to sleep. I
suspect
that by the time the next gen comes out, HD disc speed reads will be at
minimum, 8x.- Hide quoted text -

You bet the 360 DVD reading speed make me sleep. What's like playing
20gig games? or 200Gig game. What's all the detailed graphic is
going to bring?
More fun? I don't think so.

The 360 reads 12x, and that is the norm for DL-DVDs. The load times for COD4
are seconds. But sooner or later games will get bigger in content and and
moreso in scope in the size of the games that they will require more than
the 9gigs a DL-DVD can hold.
And to answer your question, yes, having mor detailed graphics brings more
fun for me, because it makes the game more realistic. |

MS already stated that the HD DVD drive was for movies only, not games!!!
MS is not going to split the Gaming community to those with HD DVD drives,
and those without. Doing that kind of thing on past consoles has never
worked. Many games on the Xbox didn't even use half of a DVD disc. Also a
lot of times the Sequel of a game with better graphics and just better all
around was smaller in size then the original game! Some reason you think a
game needs all this space when it doesn't. HD Games don't really take much
more disc space then a Regular game. A bit larger Textures sure, but with
new and better compression, that takes less space and loads up faster. Put
it this way, PC games that can be using Higher Resolutions then a HDTV
aren't on a Blu-Ray or HD DVD Disc! Your falling for Sony Propaganda. HD
video on the other hand requires a lot more space then SD video. I guess if
you want to fill up disc space with lots of HD Video Cut scenes in a game,
you would need space. I say who cares. The Japanese may like that garbage
but generally US gamers don't. I always skip right past it if at all
possible.
No Company is going to fill most of 25 gig Blu-Ray disc with game Code!
It's not cost effective. Games are expensive enough to produce, especially
the more Popular games. The AAA games. Millions to make a game. You
MIGHT see a couple exclusive games on the PS3 that actually make use of the
space. Maybe Final Fantasy XIII. Again, a Japanese game. The PS1 had
games on more then 1 CD! What was wrong with that? I have no problem if a
game later down the road needs 2 DVD's! That's about 18 Gigs of space right
there.
The Reason the PS3 has a Blu-Ray drive is to get Blu-Ray drives out there
for HD movies. That's where the real money is to be made. Far more then
from gamers! Sony said in the past that people would buy the PS3 even if
there wasn't any games to play on it. Well currently there still isn't
anything worth playing on the PS3 for me. |

45 second snip
How long have you booked off work then?
Will you be starting on simulation?
And will you be playing in a set of green overalls with skiing goggles
and a colander on your head with Take My Breath Away on a loop?
Better than your weekend which involves four inflatable dolls, a water
bed, and nine buckets of honey wings.
Exactly how could *anything* *be* better than that? |
