360 and the future of open world games

open world games is known for thier big enviroments,lots of peds,cars,bikes,boats,plans,etc..


open world games just eat and eat space,for example:gta san andreas was on a duel-layerd dvd and it's last gen,just imagine an hd san andreas!!

the problem here is not with the 360's hardware itself,it's the DISK SPACE problem,how long the 360 gonna keep up with open world games,you say add disks?

it's not going to work,cause the game stays intact with one big enviroment and even if they add disks,imagine the case,you got your helicopter in gta 5 let's say and you just flew to the next city,change the disk? what about going back a little bit,put back disk 1 and so on

will 3rd party games limit thier games for 360's 8gb cause of the 360's large install base?

la noire infamos and the getaway,will they take the advantage of the blu-ray space?

will gta 5 be a ps3 exclusive?

sam houser stated that gta 5 could be too big for 360

why real time worlds didn't make crackdown 2,is it cause of sales or disk space?

will assassin's creed 2 be a ps3 exclusives(if done)?

before assassin's creed releases,we all heard about the issues regarding space problem,the game barerly fit on 360's dvd

and what about installs,as we all heard, gta4 for ps3 runs better and has less pop in problems

is 360 keeping blu-ray space and hd installs potential from being unleashed?

a lot of questions folks need to be answered

I hope we have a nice discussion.

the 360 does suffer the disk space issue, however there is a solution for future open world games but at a considerable cost of course, u stated that when u move from city 2 another u'll have 2 change disks, how about installing disk 2 and disk 3 while disk 1 stays in the tray without installing just 4 direct reading of it;s content and the other disks are already installed, this sounds good, but at the expense of hard drive space, and the Arcade owners who'll not be able to run this game on their console but then again, it's better than nothing :)

installing would be a great idea,but how it's gonna work in a long period?

but it's pretty expensive here, 400 SR :(

hopefully VRR via a firmware update is released for docked play as well (like the PS5 did post release)

fr0sty5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

There's actually a pretty long list of games on PS5 that support 120hz. Even more with 60+hz unlocked, and that isn't even counting PS5 Pro.

err...is it even HDMI 2.1 on that thing?

repsahj6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Yes, according to the dock teardown. It contains HDMI hardware chip of Realtek RTD2175N that supports 4K 120hz. And the HDMI included on the Switch 2 is HDMI 2.1.

I'm happy for Nintendo. Even though the Switch 2 has received so much hate just to bring it down, it hasn't won. Even though some are saying they'll boycott Nintendo, it hasn't affected sales. Especially now, with word of mouth that the system is good, demand for the Switch 2 will definitely increase more.

Profchaos10h ago

Yeah loud minorities that were not going to buy it anyway

ZeekQuattro1h ago

Considering the record sales the Switch 2 is seeing around the globe its clear a portion of the loud minority clearly bought the device.

Profchaos10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

But But the internet told me the switch 2 was going to be a failure.

Such a good system im having a blast with it and really enjoying my first ever playthrough of yakuza 0

You shouldn’t care about the sales of a game company

babadivad9h ago

Sold through or to the stores? Asking because they're tons of them at my local Best Buy. When the PS5 and Series consoles launched, you couldn't find them anywhere.

OtterX7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

The article clearly says sold. If it were shipped, it would say shipped.

Nintendo had been saying the last year or so that they would be flooding stock so that scalpers would not be an issue. They've followed through with their word. It's not cutting edge tech, so it's been easier for them to sit on stock for a while until it accumulated to a massive number available to be shipped.

Good-Smurf8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Good for them, I'm still not buying.
Looks to be a pretty safe and boring upgrade over Switch 1 which I don't think they can top it on how plain looking it is design wise.
Shame since Switch Lite showed they still know how to make a handheld that looks good and is actually portable in a classic Nintendo sense.
That's why I got one over Switch 2's block of charcoal.
Then there's the prices of it all and the whole Key card thing destroyed any sense of game ownership.

Profchaos7h ago

There'll be a number of revisions for the s2 like a s2 lite or oled also seems inevitable

Good-Smurf6h ago

Unless they drop the prices and actually has a more portable variant that can also dock then maybe I'll reconsider but as of now, nope too big too boring and expensive to make it worth this early, not enough of its own games atm as well.

Profchaos6h ago

Who knows removing the dock capabilities would lower the cost of the unit pretty significantly.

The cost of the dock, reduction in shipping costs etc bug savings which will enable a cheaper system
