Forza 3 shipping on two discs, questions surround Metal Gear Rising's capacity, while MS kills off Blu-ray possibilities
Three
and a half years since it launched, the Xbox 360's modest DVD format is
now struggling to keep up with demands of modern game development, and
the solution may not be as simple as "put disc 2 in tray".
Forza
3 will soon ship on two 360 discs, with one holding the core product
and another hosting additional content. However, news site Joystiq
reports that, because of the two-disc set-up, not all 360 owners will
be able to access all the game's content.
At the same time,
questions are being placed on whether Metal Gear Rising will be able to
fit on a single dual-layer DVD; Kojima once infamously stated that
Sony's Blu-ray format wasn't big enough to fit in everything MGS4 had
to offer.
Forza 3 developers Turn 10 has confirmed how the full
Forza 3 experience will work. The additional content on disc two will
be downloaded and stored on the Xbox 360's hard drive. The game itself
will run from the core content on disc one and, as the game is being
played, data from the hard drive will be accessed to provide the
additional content.
But the 360's basic Arcade SKU, of course,
doesn't come with a hard drive; a near-certain indication that 360
Arcade owners will not be able to play the full game.
