QUOTE (zetec @ May 13 2006, 06:14 PM) games can be as long as the developer fucking wants. Need I point out that FF8 was 4 discs? Stamping out a second disc is negligible in cost compared to actually DESIGNING those extra discs (or in this case, gigabytes) worth of content. Paying all your developers all that extra cash for working all that extra time is what keeps them from making "NEVERENDING STORY: THE GAME" or whatever. and blu-ray's drm'ness is fucking psychotic. Sony ALREADY tryed to rootkit us, who knows what they HAVEN'T told us about what they're sticking on bluray. the battletech game crecent hawk's revenge on the pc was a 200+ hour game thats without all the side shit like other games have done in the decade since that game was made. big games cost big bucks - unless you want a game that is all plot and no pretties. but then you bitches complain that it isnt pretty and dismiss it immideatley. -------------------- |

i don't know what the hell is going on in this thread (summary?) but:
i'd consider buying a wii, just cause it looks fucking cool and it's cheap ps3 will just be an overpriced piece of shit, just like ps2 was ps: blu-ray sucks |

Hey now. The PS2 wasn't an overpriced piece of shit. It was just a piece of shit.

i don't hate the ps2....i just never liked how expensive it was
same for the xbox....and the games that i'd play on the xbox were already out on the pc.....and pc rules xbox i've only liked nintendo and stayed with nintendo for their unique games like most of the mario series and of course zelda super smash is one of my favorites as well -------------------- "Ah, y'know it's funny, these people they go to sleep, they think everything's fine, everything's good.

QUOTE Is this assertion somehow unique to PS3/Blu-Ray? If so, please explain how/why. It seems to me that your equation should apply to all console and PC games, if it's true. Jim gave an example of two games that cost the same but had vastly different amounts of content, which seems to bring your equation into question. Is that so hard to understand? But for god's sake, cut it out with the BIG LETTERS and your ad hominem jabs, yeesh. By the way, who changed the topic title? Will? You should really stop ignoring what people have ACTUALLY written in earlier posts and you should also stop putting words in their mouths. Libel makes Jesus cry =( Read on FOR WHOAAAA... If you'd paid attention to the context of this whole thread and to what was ACTUALLY said, like you were told QUOTE You leave out one very important equation in this mess: More Content == More Cost == Higher Prices Timbo WAS IN RESPONSE TO: QUOTE I'm actually showing that not to be true. The only major studio that is NOT backing Sony right now is Universal. And, it's not because they think Blu-Ray will be bad, it's for other reasons (or so they say). And, it's wasted space? Hello, if Blu-Ray can hold 4x the data regular DVD's can hold, that means games can be 4-times longer, which means good things (in my opinion). Also, movies like the Lord of the Rings and what not that come in three disc packages can now be put into one disc. Which was. About.

I know that you were referring to Blu-Ray. I know that there are tons of issues with the proprietary nature of the Blu-Ray tech (doesn't seem to stop people from using Microsoft Word for every goddamn thing, though, does it?). What I don't get is why you think that trends with current-gen and past-gen games are so irrelevent to next-gen games.
Just because you weren't talking about some specific thing doesn't mean that that thing has no bearing on the discussion at hand... This post has been edited by Spectatrix: May 15 2006, 07:30 PM -------------------- |
