Damn, I'm thirsty. The following is in capitals for those with bad eye sight.

MS, WENT THE 2 SKU ROUTE BECAUSE OF HARD DRIVES!!!!

Sony will not release a harddrive with their product, Blu-ray will be availble with every unit from the get go.

Thanks Mr. Kurtagi, I'm glad you broke the release info on OS.

Re: Next gen Disc space

I remember seeing a thread on we don't need blu-ray or hd-dvd for games, because it doesn't take up disc space, dvd 9 is just fine, well riddle me this? Taken from the 2k sports developer Q & A

San Franpsycho: Thank you very much for taking the time to answer our questions, I really appreciate this. This is a two-part question:

A. As one's GM Career and/or Franchise mode goes on, does the Inside Edge feature change as the seasons go by?

For example, let's say David Wright of the Mets has his own Inside Edge report right now based on his short career. He will/should definitely progress to be an amazing hitter in just a couple of seasons. So will Inside Edge change as he progresses to the better hitter he will become, or will his IE report be the same as it was during the first season?

B. On a similar note, how are the Inside Edge reports determined for future rookies and created players? Will we be able to fill out a basic form on how the Inside Edge report should be on certain players? For example, I know a lot about Giants minor league players and if I created them, I'd be able to come out with some realistic IE reports for them as I created them, if there were some kind of simple form to fill out while creating the player (ex. Aggressive early in counts, loves hitting fastballs, chases breaking balls behind in the count, etc.).

Thanks again.

Answer: Unfortunately, a player's Inside Edge tendencies do not "update" as a season progresses. We had wanted to do this and are planning on doing so for the future but the amount of Inside Edge data we are putting into the game takes up a lot of disk space. Making it update throughout a season is just too memory intensive at this time and we probably could have done it at the expense of having stick player models. Lots of tradeoffs have to be made in this business! We all want what you want but there are ALWAYS limitations (be they memory, time, or legal) to what we can and cannot do.

ok for the bold part. it doesnt say that it takes up TOO much space, it just says it takes up ALOT of space.

for the underline. memory does not equal disk space. i believe he is saying that currently, they dont have good enough code to streamline the process, but in the future they could

You forgot the -san Kutaragi-san, and the ish is chess not checkers. The art of war, read and believe, once you undersand asian culture, you will realize that they are humble in the arrogance, all the while seeing how you respond to their "percieved(sp) arrogance. Believe they have learned and are ready too lose profit, for market share. Its tried and true, datsun was dumped on the american shores, toyota, was dumped on the american shores, hyundai was dumped on american shores. You see a lost short term is nothing, its traditionally expected for market share.

So do you think todays games especially one as graphic heavy and text heavy as 2k baseball game is on anything less than DVD-9? don't forget normall mapping is the standard on Xbox as far as VC is concerned(sp)

im just simply pointing out that he did not say disc space was a problem. he said he was having memory issues. two different things

Just give it up Dagger, anytime he can find a way to slam the 360 he will. It's a lost cause. Hmm, where did I hear that earlier today.

lol
ya but i can try

maybe i can make him understand.

he said the process was to "memory intensive"

i can 100% garauntee that he is not referring to disc space.

he is most likey refering to RAM, because not every console will have a harddrive this time around....

So as simple as i can put it, the team was having trouble streamlining the process to the RAM, and they couldnt come up with any solutions for this years version, but in the future, they will come up with new tricks and gimmicks to get the info to the RAM without bogging down anything else.

Backbreaker - first, prove you're balanced before calling anybody else out.
Otherwise, you're the proverbial pot calling the kettle black.

And Dagger is correct - "memory" never refers to disk space. Never.
