That Gaming Site writes: Despite ending months ago, the Format War is still sending shock waves through out industry's world wide. It has also stirred debate among those claiming Digital Downloads are the future and those claiming other solutions should be used. In recent weeks various companies (including Sony) have questioned the future of Blu Ray, so we ask, how will we get out games next generation?
Hit the jump for the rest of the article and to give your take on the matter.
"I" say Blu Ray. Digital distribution is still like 10 odd years away internet just aint fast enough for High Def picture atm
I think that the next generation consoles should have some sort of disc medium. Right now I doubt that Sony would use Blu-ray in the Playstation 4 because Sony has introduced a new disc format for each of it's consoles and I doubt that they would stick with Blu-ray with their new console, but I could be wrong.
Next generation I think that all video games (Full Games) will probably be avaliable for download instead of just a few of them AND there will be a disc format medium for those same games as well.
I agree with DavidMacDougall because I feel that Digital Distribution has about another 10 years or more before it becomes really mainstream.
The majority of movies are still being bought in physical format and until the number of people downloading movies exceeds the amount of people buying movies in physical form, disc media isn't going anywhere.
720 would fact use blu-ray for the next gen but im guessing ps3 would use the red-ray
The infrastructure will still not be in place worldwide to fully support DD as the singular solution.
It will be a mix of 75/25 ratio between HD Disc format (most likely still blu-ray) and Digital Distribution, respectively.
I say we abandon the disc-based system all together and finally switch over to crystals and cubes. Discs are SO 90s, just like tapes were SO 80s and 8-tracks were SO 70s.
