The downloadable future... Oh the light of it is so brilliant. The "dream" of the interactive medium, to be able to download all your games onto a hard drive and never have to run out and purchase your game at Wal-Mart. Oh yes, the "dream". Then reality smacks you upside the head.
Tweeted from Sony's Santa Monica Director of Technology Tim Moss, God of War III will be filling a dual-layed blu-ray disc with 35gigs of epic greek mythology. Rarrr! I am Kratos the blu-ray God of War! Rarrr!
Imagine downloading that. Hmmm... Yeah, that'd sure be a blast!
I don't mind downloading music and PSP games. However, the size and quality of an HD gaming experience is amazingly huge.
Not only does this continue to justify the blu-ray medium, Hideo Kojima himself commented that even his Metal Gear Solid 4 could barely fit on a dual-layered 50 gig disc. Holy crap!
Also entering my memory, remember when Capcom's Jun Takeuchi revealed that Lost Planet 2 received significant content cuts due to the restrictions of X-Box 360's dvd storage.
Awesome! A fine solution! Content deleted from games due to lack of storage. Somehow this doesn't sit well with me. It's making me even more of a fan of blu-ray.
