I had to link it to the forum because the original link, the article, is already being discussed on the front page of N4G and therefore I cannot submit this as it would be posting a "duplicate" story. It's not a duplicate, its a different question altogether.

Even though its a PS3 forum, they are all talking about the article posted by 1up. View

How can people not consider this worthy of approval? It's a serious topic as a major gaming site's neutrality is put into question. It deserves discussion and mass publicity. View

The fact that Home isn't available to the public at the moment (2 months left) does not diminish the fact that Sony have already implemented, and crucially shown this to an audience, compatibility with a Cell phone and their Home service via different methods, that will be ready when Home becomes available.

There is a time schedule, something we don't see from Microsoft.

The mere fact is that Sony have done this one year after Microsoft announced it, leap-frogging them in that respect. In fact, with the open "network of PSN in comparison to Xbox Live - developers like Epic can readily provide user-created content on a PC-scale on Sony's platform and can't dream of that yet on Live.

All this after these things were promised by Microsoft a very long time ago.

This doesn't mean we will never see it, but it certainly gives the advantage and leash to Sony in this regard. Microsoft can talk the talk but can they walk the walk? View

You cannot compare the importance of Metal Gear Solid's exclusivity to Sony with Bioshock's exclusivity to the 360.

It may or may not sell consoles, that is to be determined. But MGS4, you will see people queue for that game.

I could care less if Bioshock went multi-platform as it would most likely happen next year. And considering the games that are coming out in 2008, well I don't see the PlayStation caring too much at the moment. View

An old interview View

Cannot ship this game if it has the potential to be a big disappointment. I think they have realised this, assuming the delay is true.

Regardless of this, it is still another negative chapter in this never-ending story of delays, delays, and delays with Sony's software lineup. View

$399 and then Microsoft would get worried. And if you think that's a personal comment, it's not.

MGS isn't dependant on a HDD as much as it is on Blu-Ray. Unless MS would agree to 6 or 7 discs?

Or a stripped down version of MGS4 a.k.a. "the cheap man's version". View

"Push back" means a No. Not "please dont force us" View

Shane Kim did an interview yesterday where he said Microsoft will NOT do business with developers who force the need of a HDD for their games.

I'd rather believe him than this article. So I call this debunked. View

Like what Phil Harrison showed at E3? Microsoft have been touting this Live Anywhere for a long time now and we haven't really seen it.

I remember them showing editing Forza 2 cars on the PC and taking that to the 360 etc. We've seen nothing of this, whereas Sony have leaped over and already implemented this via Home. View

I'm sure Bizarre Creations will do a fantastic job with PGR4, but if you tell them for PGR5 they will be given a larger storage medium to work on, they'd jump with joy as they could add more to the game and make it even more of value.

Rockstar in particular will most likely be the developers who are tested the most, but no one will be surprised if they produced GTA4 on two discs. In fact, it is probably expected to some people.

But if you had another studio, with some of the Rockstar team, making GTA4 dedicated to the PS3 version - then you'd find two different games. The fact that they have said the two will be identical, means sadly for PS3 owners and Rockstar themselves, they won't have a larger a game they originally wanted. View

But that is the point. Next-gen may not always be interpreted as photo realistic graphics, especially for a game that is meant to be cartoony. If you wanted impressive visuals, you only need to look at another dragon game titled Lair, which is to be over 20GB already. The developers of Blue Dragon, however wanted to add something extra to the experience and that was high quality HD-Cut scenes for the eye to enjoy in the middle of gaming.

Take this away from Blue Dragon, and it loses one of its main fundamental appealing points.

Although it does not take anything from the gameplay itself, it is part of the game, and the fact that you have to replace discs for simply this aspect may not be welcoming to the eyes of most people. However, it is the game and it was the design of the development.

What does teach us and developers?

"No HD-Cut scenes or prepared to offer this game in multiple discs!"

It is limiting however you look at it. Whereas if they had a larger storage medium, the only thing you'd have to say to them is "go ahead guys, go nuts". With DVD, sooner or later developers will have to think inside the box, so to speak, or remove ideas from the actual project because of the 9GB limit. View

Developers, naturally, would like things to be easier for them in having a larger storage capacity. However, those who work on the 360 either do not need it now, or have to work with what's there.

They deserve credit for this achievement.

But anyone who implies that DVD is enough for this generation is delusional. Although the sheer size of Blu-Ray is not justified, 9 odd Gigs in itself will not be enough for future games, assuming the developers want to make bigger and better games.

Having said that, compression technology is continuing to improve so the need for a higher capacity media may not be as soon as people think.

However, compression in itself means the loss of certain quality aspects that could be related to "High Definition next-gen experience" such as the 7.1 uncompressed sound we are coming to see in certain PS3 titles.

Do not forget Microsoft refused to include a HD-DVD drive into their machine for cost reasons and the fact that of data stream from the drive not being fast enough, resulting in slow loading times. This would mean they'd have to increase their HDD unit space to compensate, seeing a large cache for developers to use in relation to loading times, and would have led to the demise of the Xbox 360 Core idea.

As a result, they have responded to Sony's claims by saying DVD is suitable for next-gen games, to justify their decision. And although this may be true for now, you cannot deny that if the price was right for them - they would have included some kind of larger format drive into the design.

All in all, so far the DVD camp are holding their ground but I question for how long. View

That is because there is no HD-DVD in the Xbox 360. So what would be justified..? View

There is something wrong with the site. I agree with someone and someone else gets that vote. I disagree with a person, and that vote goes to someone else. View

Also, didn't Polyphony Digital say each car model takes them 180 days?

I doubt this is true. Sony or Polyphony Digital wouldn't be making any announcements, especially ones this spectacular, without making an official comment and a month away from TGS. View
