High-Capacity Blu-ray Discs Entice Game Developers

The technology features 16 separate layers on a single-side Blu-ray disc with 25 GB storage capacity on each layer, which totals 400 GB. Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima must be giddy about the prospects, seeing as how he loves lengthy cutscenes and the highest definition assets possible.

wow devs that have a passion for making a masterpiece (hideo kojima) will love this for sure they will try there best to fill it up with out compresing and doing all the works they dont do it now... with that they can put a game make a movie and stil have space fof extras

lokiroo4206380d ago

Not only is this like the fifth time this article has been posted, it has nothing in it about any developers saying anything, lame comes to mind. How about enough with it already.

Rockstar6381d ago

Is the possibility to put entire game/movie series on one disc.

Imagine final fantasy 1 though 12 on one disc!

You get the idea.

Doppy6380d ago

That won't happen, because Square is too happy making money by re-releasing each one.

However I can see something like the full Final Fantasy 13 vs. being released with FF 7 Advent Children: Complete 2 (or whatever) on one disc. Also Wardevil the game and movie could also do this. I think having a short movie of the game should be included in all collectors editions of games. That would be awesome.

Danja6380d ago

That would be amazing to have all FF games on one disc...

I really wanna play FF9 again..for some reason I really like that game....but I can't seem to find it ne where , my 3rd disc got scratched really bad so I can't play it...

but I would rather MGS1 TO MGS4 all on one Blu Ray disc for PS3 now that would be epic...

Danja6380d ago (Edited 6380d ago )

bubbles.....I actually ordered a copy...XD

FF9 is the most underrated FF game IMO !

cyclindk6380d ago

But that would be a great marketing idea for Sony, for Blu-ray and for making extra cash on the series, even if Square didn't include a single piece of additional content.

Diamondwolf6380d ago

Big time agree, 9 is definately up there as one of my favorites. I remember playing it back in the day when it first came out and being completely hooked on Chocobo Hot and Cold, mainly because the rewards from it led to some very very powerful equipment.

Got all the way to the end, let a buddy play who didn't know what format meant and erased everything on my memory card.

Never touched it again until recently, played through it and finally beat it and the ending was epic!

9 knocked down X as being my #3 FF game, top 5 looking like

FF6
FF7
FF9
FFX
FF4

Honorable Mention - 8 due to the story, gameplay/draw system sucked buttcheeks

Mo' space is good. Game developers have no excuse for making short length games. Whats the point of beating a game in an 8 hr shift...

RememberThe3576380d ago

Making games this generation is rather expensive. Generally speaking, the more content in a game the more expensive the game is to make.

Bathyj6380d ago

It doesn't work like that Dude. Notice games have gotten shorter not longer. That because there's more of everything in them. More polygons, more effects, better textures etc etc, but not longer play time. To do that, they would have to create even more artwork, assets, sound, etc.

Doppy6380d ago

The reason games are only 8 hours is not because of space, but because the developers run out of ideas on how to keep gamers entertained. Would you rather play an 8 hour shooter that gives you everything you need, or drag through a 20 hour shooter that does nothing to progress the gameplay along.

If developers had all the time and money they wanted to make their games then all games would be great, but they don't so they have to give you pieces of it, and give you more when a sequel comes out.

ahnonamis6380d ago

As someone with a fulltime job and a family to take care of, games falling in the 8-15 hour range are the perfect length. I hate getting longer games (like RPGs) and then losing interest because I haven't beaten them after a month of playing.

LethalToxins6380d ago

Some of it has to do with online play being bigger now, too. You don't need to make the campaign as long when you can hook them on the multiplayer. Resources have to go into ensuring it's all balanced online and isn't broken. Developmental complexity is at an all time high now. It's not as easy as it once was. Considering how resources have gone up, it's kind of amazing that the price of a new game has only increased ten dollars since the NES era.

mpmaley6380d ago

I've been working on Nocturne since summer b/c of grad school and haven't lost interest yet, just have to play a good RPG :)

If we keep seeing stories about the new Blu-ray discs we're going to need one just to store them all!

(And that is why I'm not a comedian.)

darkdoom30006380d ago

i actually found that sorta funny. bubbles for you.

Nicolator6380d ago

gd stuff... so much space to put all loads of content gd shyt since the ps3 can use. it.

EasySMX D05 review

You can get Hall effect controllers slightly cheaper, but you'd struggle to find as feature-rich a package without some heavy, heavy sales.

I fail to see how this is AI shhhhlllloooop. Looking at the different games they showed, this has made many of them look far better.

isarai_lee63d ago (Edited 63d ago )

It's AI slop because it ignores the artists intent and changes the details ESPECIALLY when it comes to character faces. The scariest part of it is introducing it as the next stage of DLSS, a feature where the current iteration already has controversy surrounding it and for quite a lot of games cannot be fully disabled. So reasonably the precident is already set for what path this could take, and it's not good

blacktiger63d ago

In case you didn't watch the video then let me point just one part. It overrides the lighting. Then the question of what is the point of ray tracing cost and so on. Many of the lighting deletes shadow, including shadow on the face like eyes even chin.

Chard62d ago

Why stop at art when it comes to human input - why not just have AI play the game for us, remove human input altogether

theshizer63d ago

If you don’t like it, just don’t enable it. Personally I think it looks great from the videos I have seen.

isarai_lee63d ago

And what about when you can't? Cause there's plenty of games where you cannot fully disable dlss already, i mean we're well into an era where it's a major crutch for developers to cover up their cut corners, why would this be any different?

blacktiger63d ago

You are playing with people's money and allow Nvidia to scam you.

In case you didn't watch the video then let me point just one part. It overrides the lighting. Then the question of what is the point of ray tracing cost. This is all lie to raise the cost of the graphic card.

Andrew33663d ago

Making characters look more realistic not ok because we want the developer to decide on how the game was intended to look. - Internet

Change entire game through mods thus changing how the developers intended the game to be is ok. - Internet

isarai_lee63d ago

Something consumers can do to a product after they have purchased it, entirely optional and can always be undone with a fresh install

VS

The leading gaming hardware manufacturer making this the next iteration of the main AA/Upscaling technique that is heavily relied upod by modern devs and is not optional in most games.

Not at all the same but nice try

jwillj2k463d ago

At the moment you need 2 5090’s just to get an image on the screen so this is all vaporware until proven otherwise.

Andrew33663d ago

The good news is you can just not use it as well.

Christopher62d ago

It's all about choice in the end. But, I would say that calling it 'more realistic' is quite a stretch. It looks like AI art, and that's rarely realistic.

Urrakia3463d ago

All the comments I see are reminding me of how we got to the current state of gaming when microtransactions were first introduced: "It's completely optional guys, we promise! If you don't like it just don't buy it!"

I think we all know how that ended up.

Popsicle63d ago (Edited 63d ago )

I had the same exact thought the first time this was brought up in a separate article about a week ago. Took me straight back to the conversations surrounding “horse armor.” Just don’t buy it they said. Years later, many IPs I previously enjoyed are so infected with monetization schemes that I don’t even consider purchasing them anymore.

DLSS 5 and the like are the same thing wrapped in a different package. History rhymes but many of us never learn from it.

blacktiger63d ago

Biggest Scam. Overrides lighting and shadow. So why keep Ray tracing? It's all a scam to raise graphic card. We now see Nvidia with Microsoft downturn anything against them. Sony is next!
