I’m not sure if this is what you meant to say, but a very large amount of blu-ray movie titles are published on BD-50… check out this site http://www.blu-raystats.com/stats.php and on the “Size” filter, choose BD50.

BD-50 discs are not *that* much more expensive, especially if it means that a game developer will be able to see his vision come to unadultered, uncompressed fruition.

I’d rather have a game with more stuff to do in it than shiny graphics, because then you have a good game that will last the ages, and not one that looks good for the time.

I’ve gotta admit though, when I read this article, I thought the same as Jose. Norbit, he doesn’t have a clue, right, but that doesn’t mean you do either. They are saying there’s a problem, otherwise there wouldn’t be a news item Didn’t the Heavenly Sword(s) formating use an old music format that took up about 20gb or something in a similar vain. I mean, why did they NEED to fill the disc up? Doesn’t make much sense.

I think this is a case of they under-estimated how much space they really had and likely went over a bit. Sure, they’ve fixed it now, but we might not know what this additional content is.

You havent got a clue what you are talking about lol

They arent blaming anyone because there isnt a problem. It is better not to compress anything because compression can impair quality and you have to use system resources to uncompress it.

Yea, but he’ll make you plug in the contoller into the second port to finish the game. WTF.

They did a shoddy job in there file compression and organization for sure and now they want to blame someone else.

“While not yet commercially available, researchers say they have developed prototypes of double-layer Blu-ray discs in the lab that can hold up to 100 GB. ”

So Mr. Kojima, trying to delay this project further in favor of waiting for the double layer?
