Konami Rep Confirms: MGS4 50GB Blu-ray :O

http://www.ripten.com/2008/03/14/mgs4-confirmed-50gb-blu-ray/

It was revealed last month that a Blu-ray disc wasn’t big enough to hold all languages for the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 4. Since all previous Playstation 3 games have resorted to the more constricted 25GB Disc, it was unclear whether MGS4 was to stray from this trend.

Many presumed that Kojima decided to go with a 25gb Blu-ray disc to save on costs, but it was yesterday revealed in a Konami retailers meeting that the game is the biggest of the series, and will be presented on a 50GB disc.

biggest of the series, and will be presented on a 50GB disc.

50GB disc.

50GB

:O

(Deep do good? Ps. this better be true, and this rep is telling the truth...he could have been misinformed.)

 

[Firewire]

Megatunz!

 

[Visualante]

I didn't follow this story, but wasn't it speculated that this could be easily solved just by compressing the audio?

 

[bjork]

and?

I didn't follow this story, but wasn't it speculated that this could be easily solved just by reducing the quality of the experience and destroying Metal Gears soul?

FIXED.

yes

 

[SantaC]

more GB != better game

What did you expect? Kojima joked about how 50GB wasn't enough and you think they'd just go "lol jk it's on a 25GB disc"

 

[deepbrown]

and?

And? My computer from a couple years back has a hard drive smaller than that. One game, one disc....50gb. MGS4 is a milestone.

What did you expect? Kojima joked about how 50GB wasn't enough and you think they'd just go "lol jk it's on a 25GB disc"

No he didn't. He joked how Blu-ray wasn't enough. It is perfectly resonable that they'd decided to stay on 25gb...since double layer blu-ray is hardly produced yet and is quite a bit more expensive.

 

[Mamesj]

Wonder how they handled loading with that monster? an install is fine too.

 

[mckmas8808]

WOW!

 

[Firewire]

I didn't follow this story, but wasn't it speculated that this could be easily solved just by compressing the audio?

If it was that easy, they would have done it.

 

[YYZ]

umm did you put up that interview with Dylan Cuthbert somewhere? Sorry to bring it up here.

 

[NextGenitals]

It aint enough. WE NEED MOAR

 

[Mamesj]

And? My computer from a couple years back has a hard drive smaller than that. One game, one disc....50gb. MGS4 is a milestone.

kinda. it's uncompressed audio/languages, so it feels like it doesn't count all the way.

 

[Shalashaska]

Game of the forever.

 

[Threi]

MOAR GIGS

I NEED MOAR

MOARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

 

[Relix]

So more space, better game, right?

Yah.... not denying MGS4 is gonna be awesome, but it just sounds stupid

When the game in question is MGS4, you are correct.

 

[MoeB]

Obligatory MGS4 XBOX360 image x 2

Really? Could've fooled me. Pretty much every single movie out there now is on a 50gig. And there sure are a hell lot more movies than PS3 games.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

The best, bester, bestest game EVAAAAAAAAR!

 

[Yoshichan]

more GB != better game

In this case, yes.

 

[JCreasy]

OH SHITZ

SPLODA-TONZ!

this too . . .

The best, bester, bestest game EVAAAAAAAAR!

 

[BeEatNU]

Why do people keep saying this?

More space= more content to make a better experience.

so essentially it trickles down to a better game

 

[deepbrown]

Who said it was uncompressed?

 

[Ploid 3.0]

I'm still discovering things in MGS3 (the normal not rereleased version). Things like spinning the camera around to throw ups (good for getting rid of bad food I was told), the r1 or r2 during cut scenes to reveal Ocelot saluting type of stuff. I'm still not done with MGS3, and MGS4 has HD so I will probably be reading books on ZoE, and the past MG games. Even a tv in a weapons engineer's office on the past mg surveillances is possible. Who know's what goes on in Kojima's mind but I like the results a lot!

 

[Firewire]

This is the first time a 50GB is being used, and its for a game! Epic news!

 

[CowboyAstronaut]

:lol

 

[deepbrown]

umm did you put up that interview with Dylan Cuthbert somewhere? Sorry to bring it up here.

Sorry YYZ, not yet.

 

[CharminUltra]

Because 10-disc ports = better game amirite :lol

once you have played with uncompressed sound (resistance) you know that compressed is inferior.

Hello Mark Penn, welcome to Gaf.

 

[Rolf NB]

Bububu it has at least 15MB of garbage padding! It's all just snoke and shmirrowrs!

this

 

[Elbrain]

Holy shit! 50GIGS SONS!

That is the 4th sign of the apocalypse!

I am risking sounding like a fanboy, but when you have Mass Effect and GTAIV on dual sided DVDs... its just hard to grasp that concept. Once again, I am not saying MGS4 will be bad, I think it will be one of the most awesome games ever to this day, but the logic is stupid.

 

[bathala]

i'll have some popcorn for the cutscenes

 

[Metalmurphy]

I didn't follow this story, but wasn't it speculated that this could be easily solved just by compressing the audio?

To fit on a BD25? Maybe? On a DVD9? Doubtfully.


Btw, this really surprised me, I would have bet money on them talking about a 25GB before instead of a 50GB oO

 

[WinFonda]

Hot damn, Kojima! He's not one to cut corners... it's balls to the wall for him.

 

[avaya]

wrong.

It's probably what people have said Uncompressed sound eats EATS the shit out of space man and that is what probably what is happening here.

 

[pswii60]

Well, hopefully it'll be better than N+ then.

I agree but its not stupid logic to see that more space=more content.

wrong.

what was the first game?

Heavenly Sword?

[deepbrown]

Better be true If not then sorry Kojima, and gaf. But this is what they announced in a retailer meeting.

 

[fly high ~ayunite~]

OMG!!!
