I dunno I always get the feeling that these news posts always seem to imply some sort of disparagement of the 360's DVD format. I mean come on, the developer of the game is not going to make it so that the disc switching makes the game somehow unplayable or not enjoyable. The 360 uses the DVD format, get over it. Play it on whatever system you like best and stop worrying about some minor minor inconvenience like switching a disk every 20 hours.

Yeah I do tend to agree but I'd rather just ignore the idiots who use stuff like this to promote their "team", it's just not worth it. From my perspective, I'm not desperate to play this day and date, so if overall the PS3 version has a lot of minor advantages like this then I'll probably just wait until I pick one up to play it.

 

[LiK]

And yeah it's ABSURD you can't do a one-time install and play off disc 1. What is this, the dark ages?

Its the future!

 

[No_Style]

Doesn't really affect my purchasing decision if the IQ between the two versions are like RDR.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

And I'm not saying that it's not relevant, just that all those "lol disc swapping" and "defending disc swapping, really?" posts are silly.

Well a lot of people making those posts have been stuck without online games for a couple of weeks now, cut them a little slack

 

[Grisby]

Thats a lot o stuff. Probably still get the 360 version.

Was RDR worse on PS3?

Doesn't the PS3 version of LA NOIRE have exclusive content also?

 

[Arnie]

I'd rather get up to change the disk every 5 hours than have uncompressed audio and a non gimped game, but it's still a hassle I'd rather do without. I'd get it on PS3 if it weren't for my friends list and the achievements.

 

[chubigans]

People defended a company that allowed 101 million accounts be compromised. This is nothing.

Allowed huh? Bwahaha, wow. All kinds of crazy going on in this thread.

Im out of the firmware loop but are games allowed to use the new 360 disc format yet?

I'd get it on PS3 if it weren't for my friends list and the achievements.

Wait does the game have multi? I thought it didn't?

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Was RDR worse on PS3?

Yeah, an extra case I believe.

 

[Jomjom]

Batman AA sold more on PS3. And did you really just say that about paying 3 vs 1?

Regardless, 1 disc>>multiple. Games are getting bigger and require more space. Even nintendo gets it.

1st part was a joke, I was serious about my second paragraph though.

 

[RedStep]

This is quite hilarious. The DVD medium is becoming more and more straining.

It's like hearing a beam of pure wisdom straight from 2004.

No shit. It will be replaced in the next console, you'd have to be goddamn retarded if you didn't get used to this concept back in 2005. Every storage medium will eventually run out of space, then be replaced by another.

 

[Snipes424]

Don't see what the problem is. You get 3 discs for the same 59.99 price instead of just 1.

Also L.A. Noire is guaranteed to sell better on 360 than PS3 regardless of the disc issue. Just as Portal 2 on 360 sold better, just as almost every 360 version of a game sells better. Don't know why these kind of insignificant things are always posted.

Nice spin

But I honestly don't see the connection between selling better and being better. But obviously that is what matters to you.

 

[ThanksVision]

I know switching disks really isn't a hassle. It isn't! But come on, it's 2011 for Christ's sake.

 

[Beer Monkey]

Knowing Rockstar the 360 version will look better. Disc swapping is no big deal to me.

 

[Papercuts]

Was RDR worse on PS3?

I remember the foliage especially being a lot worse in the PS3, RDR also had a PS3 exclusive hideout. This has a PS3 exclusive case on top of all the other different preorder cases.

The disk swapping was annoying in Castlevania but if they do it right I don't think it'll matter for LA Noire, they'd have to be amazingly incompetent developers to not have access to the entire city on one disk. I'll still gamefly it for 360 just for controller preference.

 

[Wario64]

You can also lend the game to other people once you finish the first third of the game

 

[Jomjom]

It's 2011, but it's not like the 360 can just suddenly evolve its DVD drive into a Blu-ray drive just because its 2011.

 

[WinFonda]

I just thought I'd let you guys know: Blu-Ray is better than DVD.

 

[SolidSnakex]

This game isn't developed by Rockstar so it doesn't run on their RAGE engine. It runs on Team Bondi's own engine.

 

[Totobeni]

Doesn't really affect my purchasing decision if the IQ between the two versions are like RDR.

Know one know,It's not even in the same engine as RDR, it's not even developed by Rockstar studios.

if you care about IQ I'd say wait for Digital Foundry word before your buy.

 

[No_Style]

Was RDR worse on PS3?

Doesn't the PS3 version of LA NOIRE have exclusive content also?

Slightly inferior in a number of areas including framerate and resolution. Digital Foundry has a nice breakdown.

Many people probably won't notice it unless they're side by side, but when you have both consoles? Why compromise?

Exclusive content doesn't persuade me as much when it doesn't run or look as good as the other platform.

Know one know,It's not even in the same engine as RDR, it's not even developed by Rockstar studios.

if you care about IQ I'd say wait for Digital Foundry word before your buy.

It's not RAGE engine. But if the differences between the two games are as significant as they were between the two consoles, I'll be picking up the better one. I was simply stating that the number of discs doesn't affect my purchase decision.

 

[jett]

Why are people still going on about uncompressed audio? Nobody does that, it's nonsense. Anyway, this game is using huge amounts of space because of the animation streaming they use for the characters' faces.

 

[lucius]

I prefer the 360 controller, but with the signs saying ps3 version and only having about 40 gigs left in my 250 gig HD on 360 I don't want one game taking up like 25 gigs. I could delete things but I need space for Mass Effect 3, gears 3 and other stuff.

 

[Beer Monkey]

Know one know,It's not even in the same engine as RDR, it's not even developed by Rockstar studios.

Oops, didn't know that. Thanks for the correction.

I probably will wait for DF. Though controller is another factor.

Not for games at least.

 

[Beer Monkey]

Agreed. Pushing uncompressed audio around sucks system bandwidth. Even if you output uncompressed audio, it doesn't mean the source data was uncompressed.

 

[Hey You]

Oh well, I don't mind changing discs in a couple of hours in. Like said in the interview, you won't have to switch them right in the middle of a case.

 

[Graphics Horse]

They did on the PS1! *sad smiley face*

 

[jett]

Movies use lossless codecs for storing audio, it's not uncompressed.

Agreed. Pushing uncompressed audio around sucks system bandwidth. Even if you output uncompressed audio, it doesn't mean the source data was uncompressed.

Indeed.

 

[Blutonium]

Well that sucks, but the *game* will still look/run slightly better on 360. Since I have a PS360 I'll get the 360 version.

 

[dragonflys545]

This does not affect me as I always get my multiplatform games on the Ps3.

 

[Fersis]

Sorry for being offtopic but when will it be released?

 

[BeeDog]

Lossless codecs, uncompressed, whatever. I only hope the voice samples do not sound like shit, like in Grand Theft Auto 4 and many other current-gen games.

 

[Mollymauk]

Came in expecting faux pearl clutching about how now the choice between platforms is clear for them. Wasn't disappointed.

 

[Huff]

Well, Sony did drop them for taking so much money and time on this game.

They might be amazingly incompetent. This is their 1st game, right?

 

[onQ123]

So where are all the people that was saying that Sony was forcing Blu-ray down everyone's throat?

I guess 1 Blu-ray is easier to swallow than 3 DVDs.

 

[LiK]

Sorry for being offtopic but when will it be released?

May 17 for US

 

[Snipes424]

Well that sucks, but the 360 version will still look/run slightly better on 360. Since I have a PS360 I'll get the 360 version.

Why do I feel that I am the only person on the internet without a time machine?

I must have one!

 

[szaromir]

The PS3 version runs slightly worse on 360, but hey! as long as it's the same game, who cares?

 

[Despera]

If you can install the entire game on the HDD and play off of Disc 1, I see no problem.

Getting the PS3 version though...

 

[Jomjom]

Why do I feel that I am the only person on the internet without a time machine?

I must have one!

Because it is always this way. It was that way with Final Fantasy XIII, Burnout Paradise, Portal 2, etc.

 

[Blutonium]

Why do I feel that I am the only person on the internet without a time machine?

I must have one!

Never played Red Dead and GTA huh.

 

[Gary Whitta]

You can also lend the game to other people once you finish the first third of the game

So long as you don't have to switch BACK to disc 1 later, like you did in Mass Effect 2 for example.

Where can I get info on the different preorder bonuses? Are any looking better than the others?

 

[LiK]

Movies use lossless codecs for storing audio, it's not uncompressed.



Indeed.

HK Blurays still use Uncompressed in addition to DTS HD and DolbyHD these days. Don't ask me why, waste of disc space.

 

[Fersis]

May 17 for US

Thanks my good man.

 

[le.phat]

multiple discs always bum me out because it gives you a physical queue how far you've finished the game. Double the suck when the split is fucking 80/20 *looks at xenogears*

 

[Steverulez]

The clarification of the disc swapping only happening twice is all that really mattered to me.

I'd have waited until I saw which version was better but my PS3 is broken so its 360 for me when I get it. Having it on one disc is just convenient if it doesn't affect the gameplay then personally im not fussed.

 

[Synless]

Well that sucks, but the *game* will still look/run slightly better on 360. Since I have a PS360 I'll get the 360 version.

Is this a fact or did you just pull that out of you ass?
