Blue Dragon to span 3 DVD' s...

...

According to Famitsu.

It' ll be the first 360 game to cover multiple discs. So much for Microsoft' s 1 disc policy

This is obviously a good thing as space would be a non-issue as 24+ GB virtually equals a single layer BD ROM.

I honestly didn' t think it would happen but it is doing.

Well that confirmes what Quez said

Well,i have no problem with a sequal,as long as the world is " big" i also heard rumor from some people that they said in japan that BD will be on 3 disc.

Not that it is a big problem (we' ve lived through it in the past), but I prefer having things on a single disc. But I still hope that Ms isn' t going to start making games on HD-DVD. That... that would be mean.

This kind of justifies the blu ray doesnt it ... Not all the games will be this big but still ...

Depends on how one sees it, I mean is it really that much of a trouble to swap discs every say 15 hours?

I like Blue-Ray, but when I think of it like that then I really feel sorry for all the starving children.

I like changing discs.
It occured to me when I played Shenmue 2 on the Xbox. I really, really missed the disc swapping from the DC version.
Final Fantasy games on PS1, Tales of Symphonia on GCN, man the disc swapping was the one thing that made you feel how far you' ve progressed.
And everytime you spoke with a friend how far you have progressed you always said which disc you had made it to.
I' m glad we' ll still be doing that another generation.

I agree about the disc swapping.. It always gave me a good feeling of progression whenever reached the end of one disc and saw the " Please Insert Disc #2 or 3" screen.

Lengthy games on single discs almost always had me saying, " Geezus Krist, how much longer is this f***ing game?????"

As you may all know Blue dragon is one of the first 1080p games,what does that mean?

Well their HD CGI is in 1080p,you thought itagaki had problem with 720p chi,clealry you see what that meant for Sakaguci here.

However we shoukld wait and see what this really meant,so one dvd isn' t jus making off or something,because i also hear about that.

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

I agree. It' s (almost 99% of the time) an indicator that you' re a little more than half-way through, y' know set your expectations & all that.

sequal has also been confirmed...end of the day, 3 disks or a console that costs an extra £200 due to a format that may die quicker than UMD' s?? thats a hard one

Swapping disks was fine with RE4 on GC, Shenmue 1 and II on DC and i have no problem doing it now days.

I' ve never really understood the people who have a problem with disc swapping, it' s not exactly mentally taxing, is it?

man the disc swapping was the one thing that made you feel how far you' ve progressed.

This also rings true for me.

Yes!!! Disc swapping, it' s like having immediate access to the other
side of a cliffhanger moment.

There are two rules to success:

1. Never tell all you know.

Not to mention, you know you' ve all done this, where you pop in disk two, just to see if you can play, even though you know you can' t.

Query, did FFX, X-2, or XII have to swap discs? Not too sure since I haven' t played ' em yet...

I' m just shocked that, if a game like Oblivion, which is just plain impossibly huge, could hit on a single DVD...what the heck is filling Blue Dragon Goddamn CG movies!

...nah, as long as the price is right, extensive movies are fun to watch...unless they' re Dirge-caliber...ugh [:' (]

Byakko it' s very simple,720p and 1080p CGI HD,takes tons of GB space.

You dont need or have any CGI in game slike oblivion.

lol and sometimes when the game is excellent , i say damn i' m so happy with this , i' m still on the first dvd SO MUCH MORE TO ENJOY... I felt sad when i had to swap the dvd playing resident evil 0.

Same,with for ex Tales of symphonia.

Multiple DVDs doesn' t bother me, what bothers me is the crappy image quality of the CGI videos in most 360 games due to over compression. Look at COD3, fugly.

Having watched some of the CG cutscenes of Blue Dragon at Gametrailers, I have to say that they could' ve just as easy have skipped it. Doesn' t look impresive, and seeing how great Gears looks, it shouldn' t have been impossible to make it real time.

as quez said thats just because the game must be filled whit CGI cutscenes in 1080p, whitch take tons of space, whitout the CG´s it pobably wouldnt take more than a disc, besides, since its a big game for MS they will probably add some interviews whit the devs, they would be very stupid if they dont do that.
i really dont like multi disc games since i lost the second one of my FF VII and couldnt play again, almost happens the same whit RE4 on the NGC, but i dont thing its a big deal, if u whant to see the CG again u will have to swhitch to the rigth disc tho.

Its all the game 1080p native or just the cutscenes???.

1080p native?

No native 1080p on 360.
