funny how PC's have had virutually unlimited space for devs to use and more power to play with for quite some time.... and they never needed more space than what a DVD allowed... funny that, aint it.

big_tim6392d ago (Edited 6392d ago )

PC games are compressed and then installed on the computer. So the amount of space on the disc isn't the same amount of the game. It is substantially bigger. Also, they can take up as much space as they want when installing. Game machines uncompress on the fly. The compression in console games isn't as extreme as pc compression. Also, the 360 and PS3 are far superior in terms of hardware than the normal PC.

Its nice the Blu Ray can hold so much but how much is too much? Is there ever too much? I personally believe DV9 holds plenty. Take Oblivion for instance. That game was long and I got lost all the time.. I couldn't even imagine 5 times a much space to run around. I would say that's too much. With Sony waiting a whole year later to release it's comsole they should have some major perks and Blu Ray, more space on the disc and a half a@@ online doesn't take the cake for me. How many games will be 1080p? Who even has a 1080p tv let alone a 720p or 1080i.. No doubt the PS3 is gonna be great but I haven't seen anything that would make me switch from Xbox to PS. To an average gamer like myself I can't justify 600$ for something that I could buy for 400$.. Blu Ray doesn't interest me at this time and I think HD DVD will win anyway.. And games that are anylonger I would never finish. I am a graphics and AI kind of guy. To me that is the next Gen gaming along with online and right now the 360 has the PS beat in my eyes example COD3.. I know people say oh its PS3's 1st party games.. But in reality its really a year later and developers have had plenty of time to make them look good.. Just my opinion.. And I ain't no "fanboy"

Bebedora6391d ago

What I have hard to understand, is when people like you (non-fanboy or not) states that a game like oblivion cant have a more rich environment with more space, like different looks on trees, armours, weapons, items, items, cave walls, even different seasons in a game.

The word I am looking for is more vast diversity and details. Higher res textures too for that matter. This is why I believe in Blu-Ray's need for console gamers.

12Volt6391d ago

But you will eventually and ps3 will be there ready when you do... It's true you and we dont need some of that stuff, but sony knows that right now you cant tell the wheat from the weeds, sony sacrifices practicality in order to be the industry standard... alot of us think the ps3 is an awesome peice of hardware and we already trust that there will be great games on it because of the massive game libraries its accumulated we're all little shocked on the ps3 and how its turning out, mainly price.. if you think about it...

If the PS3 was 300 or 400... Alot more people would jump on it, and if sony could it would lower it that much, but you gotta understand it has invested BILLIONS of dollars into the technologies inside the ps3 it cant afford to lower the price. I know this is more than what you wanted to know, but if you really ask why its sony is doing what it's doing, you have to see the big picture, and you'll realize you dont care, and thats up to you, but you cant just hate sony for it - that makes you dumb.

UNREAL-T6392d ago

The ps3 gonna be great and the 360 is great too, but when u say "right now the 360 has the PS beat in my eyes example COD3" that's ur own opinion and i understand and i'm not gonna say something stupid about u just because u think 360 gonna be better than ps3 and i think ps3 is gonna be better than 360. I think we gotta wait and see happen because both of this console are great. " I feel u".

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker15h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo14h ago(Edited 14h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6914h ago(Edited 14h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto20h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger8819h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies9h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
