The complexity of the engine and the graphics themselves is unrivaled so far. A high-end machine is required to truly appreciate it though.
At any rate, Crysis did everything bigger and arguably better, and still managed to fit neatly on a single DVD.
Ditch this blu-ray bullshit already, I say.

It's pretty much common sense. It's well-known that MGS only takes as much space as it does due to Sony not compressing the videos in the game.

...wow. Seriously? The entire reason that game was made was to look awesome. It's been out for a couple years now and you still need a pretty top of the line PC in order to play the game properly. It's still considered one of the best-looking games currently out.
And, as is always the case, PCs far out-strip anything that a console can do. Almost any half-decent computer on the market can outperform the PS3 with no problems at all.
And what format do all PC games use? It's certainly not blu-ray.

hm, i could have sworn i read somewhere that it was over 100 gigs, oh well, but still thats crazy, it would take 5 dvds to do that.
thats true, did you knwo that kojima had to cut stuff from the game cuz it didnt fit on the disk? anyway the fact that it has been done shows that it can be done, and can you imagine what they could do with it? gta filling a blue ray disk, only problem with that is that it would take FOREVER to make but the results would be amazing
killzone2 is far more than any dvd could handle, and little big plannet is over 40 gigs, in heavenly sword 10 gigs was taken up by just the sound file, i think i remember that resistance was over 20 gigs. so obviously bluray can and is being used, my point is that its not being used as much as it should be imo
LittleBigPlanet: It fills the disc with uncompressed full audio tutorials in many languages. Sloppy way to bump up the final file size.
Heavenly Sword: Sound files are huge. If you leave sound files uncompressed they will quickly fill any storage media.
Resistance: Same story, uncompressed and duplicate data filler.
ok fair enough, but it still makes a better product does it not? i understand that its hard to make games for it but my point is that if more people did do it, making a game like mgs4 or killzone2, or mag, then the ps3 would be and should be dominating because the potential is much higher than xbox
Wasted potential.
And hilariously, the general consensus is that the future will lead to smaller files. We have excellent lossless compression nowadays that allows for very small files to be read very quickly, then decompressed. This is actually the better option, as reading and decompressing a smaller file takes far less time than reading an uncompressed file. This is the reason PS3 loading takes so damn long, and why Sony pushes to have games installed on the HDD; to make up for a deficiency in their media format.
im sorry i must not have been clear, i agree completely with you that what the ps3 is capable of is not being used, and that was my point. im not really trying to argue with you im just voicing my opinion that i think the ps3 "should" win because of what an increadible machine it is and its being wasted because the developers either dont want to bother doing it or dont need to, and it irritates me that its going to wast like that, oh well at least my favorite game was stressing it out so im satisfied MGS4 FTW!!
edit: i read my post and at the beggining it kind of looks like i was being sarcastic, just fyi, i wasnt
lol, why is everyone so upset that sony took a good idea and made it better? it is called competition, it is healthy, and creates better products.
it is true, it is exactly the same concept of the wii, but it is what the wii was supposed to be, not what it is...although, i could be wrong, i have only experienced what they have shown, it might not be all that good. we shall wait and see

So, Nintendo has a patent on holographic storage, tech which could make every modern computer obsolete. No other gaming company can use this tech. It will be in the 3DS, and presumably, the next Nintendo home console.Nintendo owns our souls. 😐
I highly doubt they own the patent on it. And having lots of storage isn't going to do much if their new console is like the Wii ― one generation behind in hardware.

I've done some Googling and apparently it's still just a rumour. Even if it's true, holographic storage technology would certainly not be unique to Nintendo; there are entire coalitions of corporations and independent developers that are looking into this tech.
And finally, having a superior storage medium won't make modern computers obsolete. Just look at Blu-ray.

Who said I was upset? What I said still stands though.
