Ofcourse.

it doesn' t mean that it should be in the same enviroment but rather creat diffrent enviroment that require those diiffrent textures, so you won' t see too many recycled textures and envirmoment that look alike (AKA: FEAR) .

This is a good, and increasingly popular argument in favour of Blu-Ray and it certainly holds weight. The only real argument against it is that more textures means longer and more expensive development, and more effort. It' ll likely take time for this kind of thing to materialize and it wouldn' t be a common thing amongst smaller developers, but for those willing to put the effort and money into it it' s a valid possibility.

It' s up to the developers in the end, as it usually is. If they want to cop out for the same textures, and the same character models, and have open space on their Blu-Ray disk, that' s them being lazy. It' s a nice option, but it' s going to be the developers in the end that actually change that, and in my opinion, not the format.

Funny how so many threads get out of hand these days....

Well as for the extra space afforded by blu-ray, i say great. Sure there is a cost involved and it' s a pain but in the end i think it wont be in vain. Of course you can argue either way your point on this issue until the cows come home without getting anywhere.

I will say though, that a lot of people have issues with CG it seems. Whilst i think it isn' t always necessary (just look at shenmue) i do find it very nice. I know while playing through Final Fantasy I keep wishing all the cutscenes were CG. And for sure CG in HD with 5.1/7.1 audio, multiple languages etc etc blah blah blah.... So yeah FOr me, it' s all good

CG blows. While i' ve never liked it and always prefered realtime cutscenes using ingame assets like those found in the MGS series, i do see the appeal. They were all the rage during the Playstation era but they' ve become much less popular over the past couple of years.

Now that you can get stunning results from realtime cutscenes like those seen in Gears of War, MGS4, Halo 3, Mass Effect, Ninja Gaiden Sigma etc.. i see no need for CG.

Majik how do i go about doing that?

I havnt bought a 12 month card since i got my 360, iv just been using my credit card, but if its like the original xbox you just go to privacy or somthing like that and enter the serial number

I have a xbox live account which is silver now instead of renewing it and paying 40pound, i want to buy that xbox camera bundle which gives you a 12 month subscription.

What i wanna know is will be able to keep my Rusanagi gamertag and gamerscore by using that 12month subscription thing?

you should be able to, if not just get somthing different. Do you have anything worth keeping on your silver subscription?

Or if all else fails buy the cheaper bundle camera and just upgrade to a gold subscription.

When you get the camera you' ll get a [scratch] card, kinda like phone credit. You need to enter that when signed into your account.

You want; Marketplace, then Redeem Code, enter the 25 character code and viola, 12 months added!

ok cool sweet thanks man, i was getting worried there didnt wanna lose my gamertag or score.

I' m still yet to see anything as impressive as Oblivion. The scale, the detail, the atmposphere, etc. Even GoW/Mass Effect/MGS4/any other next gen game I' ve seen (released or not) have not impressed me as much as Oblivion has.

Bethesda aren' t renowned for having the best optimization skills out there but if they can fit a game that epic on a DVD with of room to spare, then there' s still plenty of life left in DVD yet.

Oblivion is one of the most detailed looking game iv seen. However it has more glitches than halo 2 had super bounces, and thats sayin somthin

What Ohil they mean when they say animation, they doesn' t necesarrily mean CG-movies.

When you are in a game like Resistance forinstance, and decides to shoot out a window with a pistol, from a certain angle, it will load a animation wich makes it seem like the window break apart realisticly in a certain way.

If you go on the other side of the room, and shoot the same window, it will load the same animation, and break the window but show the animation in a different angle, but if there is a wall behind, the same animation can' t be used, since it would show the glass going through the wall behind, landing in a different room.
Then it will also need to load a animation, wich shows the glass-pieces stopping on the wall landing on the floor.
If you use a shotgun, it will need different animations again, because the glass-pieces would look different.

Also, games could show different wounds on people, if you use a sniper-rifle on someones head, and go over to find the body afterwards, and see that all the blood is seeping out of a big gaping wound on your dead foes chest it pulls you out of the immersion.

A person killed by a shotgun, could look different than a person killed by six pistol-shots.

Stuff like that, is just a single example. :)

But, yes, we don' t need it...
A car work just as well, even if it uses ropes instead of safety belts..
But better and more convenietnt to use safety belts.

As for HD quality movies; Bluray ain' t more a trojan than DVD is, if you want to compress something in MPeg4, MS would most likely get a good chunk of the licensing fees, while you could get just asd good quality on the free MPeg2, but it will take more room.
The consumer will end up paying, but Sony and Microsoft gains their money differently. :)

Its Good to see you Gaiden BLACK holding things down for the Sony camp.
But really Blueray is needed for games I would rather have the space than need it and not have it
