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?

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing11d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit11d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing11d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9211d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
