In an article hosted by by crave.cnet.com titled "Rockstar's mysterious PS3-exclusive game may only fit on a Blu-ray disc". An interesting quote is mentioned in the article. They are quoted saying
"Of course, if the game is as great as Rockstar says it is, we might not see it until 2009 or 2010. By then, any AAA PS3 game will be so massive in scope that it won't fit on a DVD, only a Blu-ray disc."
There is no official word confirming this. However it has been mentioned time and time again that future games will be massive. Could this be Sony's PS3+Blu-Ray combo showing face?
With over 5144 games on the PS3, it is easy to miss out on some great games. Here are some of the best unknown games on the PS3.
I remember Stranglehold! One of the first DLC packs of its time. A bit expensive, but cheap by today’s standards.
Another PS3 hidden gems list, and yet again Time Crisis 4 and Time Crisis Razin' Storm get snubbed. Such fun games, that shouldn't be forgotten. If only we got a home port of Time Crisis 5: Mastermind Edition.
WET is something I wish they'd remake, they had so many great ideas but not all of them were executed properly
It had a lot of potential
Also Wanted Weapons of Fate is another game that had some new fun gameplay ideas.
While some video games overwhelm you with sheer scale, titles like Asura's Wrath and Doom Eternal make you the boss player right upfront.
Wolfenstein: The New Order turns ten years old today, so we decided to play it again and discovered just how much of an extinct kind of game it is.
It's an outstanding game and so was The Old Blood. Also a lost era of gaming. Interesting, I received a physical copy of The Old Blood 9 years ago today from Poland. It was digital only in North America initially upon release so I had to import.
It's called logical sense
As gaming progresses so must the format that it is put on. Its that simple. Remember on the PC when 3.5" floppy discs used to hold games? When cartridges used to hold the games on consoles? Well, if there is any doubt whether a new format is needed, it is. Games are becoming massive, therefore they need the space.
More coding means more money.
Massive... Damage?
Tuttle, by 09 there should be sizable differences in install bases and maybe sales to a percentage of owners at that time will give them their expected profits even at current (60/game) prices. I could be wrong though, tough to get my future predictor working correctly these days.
I just posted a response in another topic about this. This is all about Sony's strategy with the PS3, cause they really are in it for an 8-10 year life cycle. By 2010 MS and Nintendo will be close to releasing their next gen systems and I expect them both to turn to some type of next gen storage format at that point. Do games need BR or HD DVD right now? No, not really...but in three or four years they definitely will.
