Sony: 'Resistance 2 is About A 50Gig Game' - GTTV Extended Cuts

LJWooly - 643 days 2 hours ago

Yeah, I remember Kojima whining about the limited space on Blu-Ray, yet Insomniac said nothing, and Resistance 2, from what we've seen from it, seems to be an awesome game.

If this goes as planned, MGS4 might have a fight on it's hands.

Actually, in an interview with Ted Price, he revealed that they could have used 50GB for the first Resistance but they probably wouldn't have had enough content on there. Also, they did not wanna use 50GB on their first game on the PS3.

Now that the gloves are off and they practically know a lot more about the PS3 than some of the other developers, they is not stopping them.

haha i like how the interviewer says "microsoft is making a lot of NOISE with their exclusive downloadable content" which is really all they are doing. Noise. Because the reality of it is while its nice to have most gamers don't care that much about it. However microsoft is doing everything in their power to weigh so much importance behind it

2 50GB games this year? Will there be more? This is amazing.

50GB is something I could expect from Kojima and MGS4. Not to say Insomniac isnt talented, but they are really surprising me with the unbelievably high quality games they are releasing and developing.

Sony was so right by putting Blu-Ray in the PS3. I always knew the space would eventually be needed. Sony sure made alot of people eat their words. So many people were saying that there wouldn't be a need for a 25GB disc, and there are already 2 50GB games in the pipeline. Maybe more!!!

I didnt even like FPS, until I played Resistance, and since then I have gotten into the FPS genre a little more, and Resistance remains my favorite becasue of the light hearted approach to it. Also gotta love the weapons and the 40 player deathmatch.
I cant wait to try more weapons in a 60 player match.

Hell to the yeah.

Don't forget, Insomniac also used 22GB of the 25GB Blu-ray for Ratchet & Clank Future. They're taking advantage of this extra space. We may need that quad-layer 100GB Blu-ray disc before we know it, or better yet, TDK's experimental 200GB Blu-ray disc. :)

Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report

gonzopia - 642 days 22 hours ago

What I've read and what I'm told is... yes. The 100GB quad-layer disc exists and is readable from a standard BD drive like that in the PS3, so we could see it before too long. I also understand that current examples of 200GB and 250GB BD discs (which also exist) require special optics, so the PS3 wouldn't be able to use those without a hardware upgrade.

I wonder why it is that this game is "50GB" when a game like Crysis did not fill up an entire DVD9?

No compression?

Agree(0) | Disagree(1) | Report

The Lazy One - 642 days 10 hours ago

There's no excuse for every PS3 game not to take up the entire space. 360 games would probably take up the space if they weren't compressed, so there's no reason a PS3 game uncompressed shouldn't take up a big portion of the space.

It's a very misleading comment to say that it takes up a 50gb disc without specifying how much of that data in uncompressed.

Also, did he really say the PS3 would pass the Wii THIS YEAR?

Quality over quantity.

However, in the digital realm, the size of the files = uncompression, especially regarding audio; that's a big bonus to have pure audio that unaltered by codec restrictions. Also, the amount of included textures can benefit greatly.

Agree(8) | Disagree(1) | Report

gonzopia - 643 days ago

You can certainly argue that quality is not directly related to quantity. Look at Tetris, or for a more modern example, look at fl0w. In fact, look at most flash games on the web. These are simple games, and are typically tons of fun.

That's a pretty extreme example, however. Take Ratchet & Clank. It's a pretty simple game, mostly. I mean, it's not hard core in the way that Gears Of War or Halo or Resistance or MGS are hard core. Still, Insomniac was able to take advantage of that BR disc to expand upon the game in ways that wouldn't have been possible on a single DVD.

It doesn't mean every game needs to fill 50GB, but many will certainly benefit from it. What I'd really like to see is Microsoft make the digital download argument for games of this size. Please, entertain me.

We know it's got 8 person co-op for online. That specific co-op is a different storyline from the main single player mode(although not as in depth). We know that the story will be told from the FP view the entire time and will be more in depth than the first. We know that the online will have 60 people. We also know that to control those 60 people, insomniac has implemented a class/squad system. We also know there will be vehicles online too. To top that off, we know that the engine used in the game is the same as R&C and of course RFOM 1. We know that the leap from RFOM to R&C is the same as the leap they made from R&C to RFOM2. meaning this game will look bonkers. That's a lot to know about a game.

At least they are trying to challenge themselves in making something new.

No the technology doesn't make it a better game, but the fact that they are always pushing the limit tells me PS3 owners should look forward to the title.

I was joking. I guess you don't see the irony in it. You are the one wearing your emotions on a sleeve since you can't take a joke.

I never said the game looks bad or anything. I think it looks great, and will probably be even better than the first. Size can be a good thing, and bad. What worries me a little is how they are going to accomplish 60-player multiplayer levels that are fun to play. Not the easiest thing to design =)

Btw, Heavenly Sword took up 25gb and lasted for 6-7 hours. Mass Effect has 20,000+ lines of dialog - roughly the equivalent of 20 movies. It also has a word count of around 400,000 words - somewhere in the area of 4-5 full novels, and takes around 20 hours to finish not counting side quests. It all fits nicely on a dual layer dvd.

What does that tell us? What matters is how they handle the data, not the size of it.

even if the single-player in Res 2 is short, you will surely be able to clock in the hours on MP and 8-player Co-op

Well considering only RPGs on floppy disks took days to finish, I don't think size is proportional gameplay time. But if you look at graphics and visuals, then Blu Ray will easily take the lead by allowing lossless textures and audio for every PS3 exclusive title.

LJWooly - 643 days 1 hour ago

It's all down to the developers, not necessarily the platform. You can use all the space in the world and your game can still suck. Luckily, developers seem to be finding fantastic uses for Blu-Ray, such as (as heyheyhey mentioned) copying multiple textures to cut down loading times.

Shame developers like Capcom seem to still need 5gb of HDD space for just about every PS3 game they make. It's as if they're doing it by purpose or something.

@GETPWNT

wrong, here's something i had to explain to TheRETARD a little while back:

"while the 2X BD drive in the PS3 IS actually slightly slower than the maximum read speed of the 360's 12X DVD drive- there are a few catches:

first off BD has the same read speed across the whole disk- while DVD is faster on the outer layers, but slower on the inside

2X BD is slower than the outer layers of DVD, but faster than the inner layers- and while devs mostly put important files on the outer layers, they are running out of this outer layer space (you WILL see slower 360 loading times in the future because of this, i know you will be in denial about this too, but just sit tight and watch)

the second catch is this- BD doesn't need to use installs to counter BD being slower than max. DVD speed- Devs use the masive extra space to store duplicate textures to speed up loading times- this technique isn't possible on the 360

this is why games like Uncharted don't need install yet have only one loading time and have outstanding graphics

and those installs are there for a reason- loading times on PS3 for DMC and LP are faster than on the 360 due to this

you are delusional- Devs don't NEED to use installs to counter-anything- it's just there as an option because HDD is standard in all PS3's (and uses SATA technology making it faster than 360's HDD)"

this is based on well known facts so i am not lieing, try again
