Eight Hours of Cutscenes in GTA IV

According to PlanetGTA:
The BBFC have been given seven hours and forty-three minutes of cutscenes so they could properly review the game.
The five hours and twenty minutes of gameplay probably contained short clips of every questionable thing in the game, and is in no way representative of the total gameplay time, obviously. Also, there is no guarantee that all of the cutscenes were given to the board, but my guess is that they were. If you fail a mission in the game, you get different dialogue in the cutscenes the second time and maybe even more times, so several versions of each cutscene may have been sent to the BBFC.

yawn mesh. lol bottom line is mgs4 is criticized for cut scenes but the bottom line is we all love cut scenes as long as they are interesting. However in the case of MGS a ps3 exclusive where you have to use whatever you can to deny the game greatness, it will be called out

The "cut scenes" are all done in engine, like MGS. This requires much less storage space.

The easiest example i can think of is Halo 3, when you save video of yourself, it's essentially the same.

1.8 - i know many won't agree

i don't think GTA4 looks all that great as far as graphics. thats why it was possible to fit this on dvd.

the gameplay will be crazy, but the graphics looks average (at best) to me. granted i haven't seen the game in person.

EDIT: @kevoncox

dude, there's no way you can compare GTA graphics with MGS graphics. MGS looks so good, it's like it's on a next-next gen system. i know GTA is going to be a great game, and it is the first game i pre-ordered in my entire life, but the latest trailer didn't impress me at all.

So you think it's the graphics not the cgi movies that pick up the most space on a disc?

I don't ge people. If you would stop drink the sony kool aid you would all see how ridiculous it all sounds..

1) No Multiplat game has been more than 9gigs. The great URT3 1 dvd.
All these games are masterpeices. You can' honestly tell me that the graphics of MGS4 are light years over COD4 or Mass effect. The fact remains that the only time you hear about these outrage multi gig games are for Sony exclusives? HUmmmmm why is that? Motorstorm 18 gigs...clearly it couldn't be done 360!. Warhawk( great looking game) was 1 gig.
Hevenly sword - 18 gigs( 6 hours)

I'm saying it now, it's bulls**t and Sony fans are stupid for beliving it. Honestly.

well.. and you can correct me if i am wrong on this... but Kojima like using CGI mostly in MGS, while GTA is mostly ingame engine.

i could be wrong. still, years of development well spent i say. what excuse does kojima have for needed 50gig, if they put all that on DVD 9.

Stupid. I want gameplay, not cutscenes. Maybe this is why the graphics aren't spectacular in GTA games, no room for high quality graphics. Don't give me the DVD vs Bluray argument, either.

I thought MGS2 had long cutscenes but thats nothing compared to Soul Reaver 2. Id rather have an hour long cutscene than constant interruptions every 5 minutes.

19 - Hideo Kojima and cutscenes

I never really had a problem with.its the USELESS CODEC CHATTER that got to me. Eg? MGS 2,when ur bout to fight Solidus on the roof,after Arsenal Gear crashed into NYC. my God, that was a good 25 min ! ! And prolly the lamest part,where they try to convince u why everythngs bn happenin.blah blah we were created blah blah basement of the whitehouse blah blah. . . . .and after 20 min . . 'IMMM PREGGGNANTTT' ,I mean,come on.thats just stupid. I loved every bit of that game,except that part,and defusing the bombs with the coolent on European Extreme dificulty ! That suckd ! Oh,and fighting those metal gears with the stingers on Arsenal Gear. What,was there like 300 on Euro extreme? Cuz that was lng!

As long as we have to hear it to understand the missions etc no one cares about that, its not like its a bunch of over the top Jap Drama that makes no sense. 8-10 hours of Cut-scenes. Sure.

Very true, PoG. and it's like with MGS, an hour of cutscenes for 5minutes of gameplay. but in GTA, it will be 5 minutes of cutscenes for each hour of gameplay. yes, the game is that big. stupid droids got owned.
