Gametrailers.com just posted the long version of GTTV Scott Steinberg interview, and at 8:38, when talking about Resistance 2 he says:
"It's about a 50Gig game too [...] Only on Bluray"

Can we have confirmation on this jstevenson? ^^

 

[Amon37]

It wouldn't shock me.

 

[BakedPigeon]

Even if it is, could you enlighten me on why it even matters?

 

[Guled]

I thought this was confirmed a while ago. Someone at Insomniac said that mgs4 and R2 were the only games on 50gig blu ray so far

 

[Metalmurphy]

Even if it is, could you enlighten me on why it even matters?

Means BR isn't useless.

 

[laserbeam]

Makes sense. Its cheaper for them long term since they can just fill up the empty space with multiple language packs etc so they don't need to release 40 different languages disk sets

 

[Nizz]

Hey, if the space is there, why not?

 

[NextGenitals]

Even if it is, could you enlighten me on why it even matters?

Because it ties into the whole "BD is a benefit to games" thing. I don't know in what sense you mean "matter." Nobody's live depends on it. It's just one of the issues that's been brought up when discussing PS3's technology.

 

[Kagari]

Considering Ratchet took up like 25GB or so, I wouldn't doubt this.

 

[SPEA]

Means BR isn't useless.

Yeah diskspace is useless. (sarcasm)

Wouldn't most games from now on be on 50GB BR disks? Especially first party ones. Don't see the big deal.

 

[Digital-Hero]

I may be on a BD-50 if it has 1080p support. Remember they ripped 1080p from the original and that dropped the size of the game because they got rid of some higher resolution textures and such or so I hear.

 

[shifty100]

With the amount of features in this game, single player game, seperate 8player co-op campaign and 60player online multiplayer ... well this is no surprise.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

If true learn to use compression devs. Jeez

I bet it can fit on one 360 dual layered dvd. 7gb is what they should have shot for, CG, and sound files confirmed.

 

[SolidSnakex]

He confirmed this in another interview also when he mentioned MGS4 would also be using it. Of course people didn't believe him then. For whatever reason.

 

[virtuafightermaster]

How could they possibly need more than 25 GB for FPS games.
Crysis only needs 6GB.

 

[Choke on the Magic]

On a 50gb disc?!

 

[chubigans]

If true learn to use compression devs. Jeez

I bet it can fit on one 360 dual layered dvd. 7gb is what they should have sot for, CG, and sound files confirmed.

Nice :lol

 

[sneaky77]

and thus begins another epenis fight...

 

[Death Dealer]

Why'd they drop the textures, performance ?

I remember when Resistance was supposedly 1080p and got changed. Although I'm not so sure R2 will be 1080p either. But I think they will aim for 60fps.

 

[Elbrain]

Thats cool with me hopefully they have more shit into that. I liked they extras that were in the first the videos of making the game of the first were cool hopefully they can do the same for this one.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Ahh, haven't heard about that. Oh well...

 

[mabuza]

Nice :lol

are you gonna whip out one of your drawings?

 

[Metalmurphy]

That would be awesome.

No more of this shit plz fuck already we had enough of this shit on the MGS4 thread I hope they are joke posts.

 

[sakuragi]

Means BR isn't useless.

But DVD is :lol

 

[SolidSnakex]

Ahh, haven't heard about that. Oh well...

It at least confirms it again. I guess Insomniac could talk about it in their next podcast.

 

[KTallguy]

Lazy... LAZY

Wow it only took 13 posts for some to bring that up.

Lazy... LAZY

Your late.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

WAIT WAIT WAIT!

Few, i won.

Oh dear, whats wrong is it too big for you to handle ? :lol

This would be EPIC! But a solid 30 frames like the first one is still tight...

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Crysis only needs 6GB.

Can't you compress the hec out of every file on a pc game disk since they mainly install to the HDD?

 

[BruceWayneIII]

Oh dear, whats wrong is it too big for you to handle ? :lol

Even if she says 'yes' - don't believe her...

 

[gtj1092]

On a 50gb disc?!

This pic is so...I luv it

:lol :lol :lol :lol

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Two complete campaigns (single-player and co-op) plus a 60-player multiplayer mode will do that. Besides, even being a launch game, the first Resistance had a pretty long single-player campaign, and I'm sure this one is going to be just as big, if not bigger.

 

[virtuafightermaster]

Can't you compress the hec out of every file on a pc game disk since they mainly install to the HDD?

Then uncompress them on the fly? I highly doubt it.

 

[Choke on the Magic]

Last time I checked Resistance 2 was a PS3 exclusive so why does it matter if the memory size is inflated if Blu-Ray is the media the game is on? You shouldn't have even mentioned the 3-shitty.

 

[chubigans]

Hah, let's see where this thread goes.

...but it's the same as the last one, so probably not.

 

[The Faceless Master]

no doubt, it's 50GB of AWESOME

 

[gtj1092]

Sarcasm should be banned from the internet.. Prepared to be lynched from the people that left their detectors at home:lol


edit://heres hoping that my detector wasn't on ultra sensitivity and that you are in fact being serious. Thus causing the :lol :lol :lol on me

 

[Choke on the Magic]

Lazy... LAZY

Calling Insomniac lazy is nothing short of a joke.

 

[Ceb]

I guess it's as good as confirmed now. Cool stuff.

 

[monkeylite]

Why 50GB?

Decompressing files takes CPU time.
Lossless audio too, multiple languages.
A variety of environment - more space needed for textures.
Bonus content.

Sure they could compress the hell, but the media is there to be used.

 

[evilone]

Let the drawings begin

 

[Elbrain]

Ted Price laughs at you fools saying "Learn to Compress noobs" and " Shit 9 gigs is not enough!"

BTW this thread will probably the only thread that has brought this week back to life after slow news week.

 

[Choke on the Magic]

Sarcasm should be banned from the internet.. Prepared to be lynched from the people that left their detectors at home:lol

I think most knew Ploid was being sacastic.:lol

 

[EazyB]

Considering they bragged about using all 25GBs in the first game, this news does not impress me. I'm still trying to figure out what they were able to do with the additional space in the first game.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Calling Insomniac lazy is nothing short of a joke.

I think Ploid and KTall are bein sarcastic.........

But yer, would like to see another studio that pumps out AAA titles yearly........ like Insomniac do.

 

[Rolf NB]

Then uncompress them on the fly? I highly doubt it.

Have you ever installed a PC game?
