That make no sense :facepalm:
:tes:

However, with Morrowind I think we saw that our kind of game appeals to a wider audience, given the gamea€?s success among more casual gamers who are neither a€?hardcoea€? nor a€?RPG geeksa€?., Gavin Carter


Yep, Skyrim is going the same path as Oblivion, catering to the casual audience.

So the majority of the fanbase is happy, and Bethesda makes money. Remember that casual fans are fans too.

Yes, I am talking about the old fans of the series, those who deem themselves "hardcoe". Some usually frown upon this. After all, in my opinion, Oblivion felt more like a casual action game than an RPG.

It can handle it fine. It's fairly average to be able to fit 8gb+ on a single DVD.

I don't frown on the hardcoe fans, I simply frown on how they think that :tes: is theirs and no one else is allowed to enjoy it :sadvaultboy: we all have to compromise some day, I guess today is your day

What?
The DLC date has not been specified, the 360 will just get it 30 days earlier.

At E3 2011, Crytek exhibited several new projects, including the Kinect-based action game Ryse.

Crysis 2 being developed for PC, Xbox 360, and PS3. Failing to see your point here.

They could always just drag the compression ratio of the audio up. And drag the compression ratio for the textures up. Do the same for the number of polys (optimize).

Eventually they will meet an equilibrium where greater compression will make everything look and sound horrible. That is when they will decide to start cutting.

Compression is a key factor.

Also even though blu ray has a larger capacity there are sometimes problems reading data. Blu ray is also notoriously hard to develop for hence why console versions of multiple platform games are usually developed for 360 and ported to ps3.

I am in no way saying that 360 is superior but it does have a much larger fan base than the ps3 due to various factors. Money being the main one and in this day and age who can blame a gamer for being careful with their money. Why pay ￡300 for something you can get a similar product for ￡180 that does the same job and just doesn't have a blu ray player you probably don't want anyway!

As for pc there are problems there too one being cost! To keep a machine to decent gaming standards can cost anywhere between ￡50/￡100 per year just to keep up with th latest tech to be able to run every game at 100% plus quality.

I am not saying the 360 is the superior choice it also has problems, 360 freezing/overheating etc etc but it is the most popular of all gaming platforms bar maybe the ds or wii and quite frankly if they released TES:Wii then I wouldn't give up gaming for good.

On a side note however I love PC gaming and do feel for a lot of things it is the better choice for me anyway and as soon as I can I will be getting a new machine. I also plan on getting a ps3 this month as well, I am a pure blood gamer and have owned every console since the NES and Ben have a collection before that so I know a little bit about gaming

It won't be 6 years old until November. It launched November 2005. I agree with your point though.

Vanilla Oblivion was what 6Gb? And it fit on one disc and at least to me it was worth $60.
Double layered commercial DVD-ROMs can hold up to 9.7Gb now so that's still as much content. Not to mention PC version is usually cheaper and the DLC will mostly be as well not to mention all the people that just steal it anyway.

no PS3 game has even come close to using the full capacity of a blue ray disk yet. PS3 skyrim wont use more than the xbox does

What? :facepalm:

There's 300+ hours of content in the vanilla game alone.

I'm not worried about it. The game will be wonderful, 1 disc or not. They want to immerse you in the experience, not make you stop halfway through the game to switch discs. Of course they'll find ways to compress it, and make it on one disc. PC users are given free will to mod all the items they want into the world, which is even better than DLC, so I don't know why anyone would complain about them catering to console users. Also, the 360's disc drive was flashed through a recent update, adding up to 1gb or more of space for discs to use. 1gb can go a long way, especially on the Xbox 360.

Didn't MGS4 use a lot of it? Not cause they had to just because they decided too...

First Crysis.

I meant hardcoe fans frowning upon catering to casuals, sorry.

Okay, so Bethesda started out making the TES series for PC only, then expanded to consoles. My point in regards to this is, more platforms = more money. Companies like money.

Your response is "Crytek". A company that started out making their games for PC only, and have now expanded to consoles. There is no point here. Please provide a worthy argument other than "hey, this company expanded to include consoles, too!".

The misinformation in this thread is just laughable. People think they know what they're talking about, and have absolutely no clue lmao. Ahhh. So funny.

I thought we were talking about PS3 games, not PS3 movies.

Seriously, though, I heard there was a lot of duplicated files in there to compensate for the R/W speed of the Blu-ray. Never followed up on it, so don't know if that's true.

It was due to the many cutscenes I believe which were HD and there was 90 minutes of cutscenes (a film basically) so yh
:tes:

Edit: that is just one cut-scene they all add up to about 6 hours, which is kinda stupid

Hahahahahahahahahaha. No.

Well, don't just stand there.
Illuminate us all.

I'm sure you have all the answers.

Instead of trolling, why don't you enlighten us?

Damn, :ph34r:'d by Amiki!
