Size not an issue with GTAV

for those of you who think 3 cities and a huge map isn't possible with the current console technology, think again. Think of it this way,

1. PS3 is Blu-ray and can pretty much handle anything.

2. The Xbox version will just be multiple discs to make up for the size of the game. (LA Noire was too large for X360 so it shipped on 3 discs)

 

So basically, GTAV is going to be all kinds of massive.

Actually the reason LA Noire was on 3 discs for 360 was the space motionscan took up. Not the map itself.

The map of LA Noire was very boring to me, the only fun thing to do in it was do complete missions, there was no fun driving around on streets at all, aslong as its fun to do whatever you want in V size does not matter.

Does the XBOX 360 come with USB ports? Maybe R* will ship copies of the game bundled with CD drives that you can plug-in the XBOX. Problem solved. smile.gif

My point is, if the game ends up being so massive (in regards to content & graphics as well as the map size) then they will adapt it for the X360 by making it multiple discs. They won''t hold back just to keep it to one disc for the X360.

With R* saying this is their most ambitious game yet, I take that as they're going to be pumping it full of detail and depth, as much as they can, that'll push the PS3 and 360's limits. I doubt there will be a second or third city like Los Santos.

It's still data though, motion scan/map size, the space it takes up can't tell the difference between the two so he's right that it would work with 3 discs.

Hah, I'm imagining some crazy fangled octopus of CD drives and wires just to play this beefed up new GTA...

Not gonna lie, I'm liking this image.

New GTA games ALWAYS impress...

ALWAYS.

That "overrated" game is gonna be one of the only games that's gonna help me wait for GTA V release.

It would be the time involved in creating SA all over again. It took them a good part of 4 years to great Liberty City in GTA IV, and it would have cost a lot of money.

Finally somebody pointed this out. I'm sick of hearing about Skyrim.

Same here, atleast nothing can flop as bad as BF3 has.

But the entire L.A. Noire's map fit into one disc, in fact it was in every disc so no matter which one you had in your drive you could always roam through the whole city.

If they had to split the map in several discs you would need to swap discs every so often. Of course there are workarounds like the blu-ray for PS3 or hard drive installs, but I think the point is not whether it is technically feasible but if it is humanly possible to build such a massive and detailed map like the one many people seems to be demanding.

I haven't yet played this game, but was considering checking it out. What part of BF3 flopped, the SP campaign? or the MP?

3. And size shouldn't be much of an issue for PCs and shouldn't be an issue at all in the digital downloadable copies of the came.
