How much disks will GTA V need for Xbox ?

[PlaystationGamer266]

I am still maintaining my belief that they'll find some way to fit it on the DVD-9. They'll have to drop the textures to all hell possibly but it'll fit.

I don't see how thats going to work if they are going to keep the quality between ps3 and 360 consistent, and from what we've seen from the trailer, they are going to be pretty high quality. it has got to be 2 disks.

Trailers are always high-quality, like i mean look at a trailer for game in like 2000-04 area and look at actual gameplay from that game, the difference in quality is very different.

 

Besides, we don't know how well they're gonna compress the game. Perfect example is Skyrim, MASSIVE game, hours, possibly days worth in dialogue and audio, but yet, only 3.9 gb?

 

lol.

I can personally assure you, GTA V will be on one disk.

GTA 4 for xbox 360, the final version looked the same quality wise as the trailer. if you don't agree then you need a better TV or eyes or something. this shows that there will be no difference in quality between the trailer and how the actual game looks. R* has not mislead us yet. And ive never played skyrim, but I doubt there's "days" of dialogue. Also don't forget GTA 4's pre-rendered HD video content, a sh*t load of high quality music, and a sh*t ton of dialogue.

 

Not saying skyrim isn't full of content, but clearly GTA 4 had more, not including map size, and I'm sure GTA 5 will have twice as much content, so that's where the second disk is needed.

So, you've never played Skyrim, but are willing to say it doesn't have enough content?

 

Put simply, there is an ASS-LOAD of sh*t in skyrim, Days worth in dialogue and Audio, yes, Days worth. With all the the speech options and stuff, it is believeble. Now, if a company like Bethsda can fit a game like Skyrim into 3.9 GB, I am CERTAIN R* could make it smaller.

 

For the record, Skyrim has more everything than GTA IV.

 

 

GTA V will be on 1 disk.

Open world games don't generally sell well on multiple disks.

 

Skyrim had no cutscenes and the map will end up being smaller then v

 

yet you think it will be in 1 disk

 

this is easily the post of the day

No cutscenes, but still more hours of dialogue then any other title out there, rivaling with Fallout.

 

Skyrim's map is 20 Miles squared. GTA V's is gonna be bigger no doubt, but the Audio and Dialogue is Far greater in Skyrim than will be in GTA V.

 

"Oh but 3 protags, 3 cutscenes for each mission!" Likely not, it is highly likely only a select few missions will have more then one cutscene depending on your character.

 

 

Anyways, Skyrim has so much stuff, but is only 3.9 GB, explain how that works? Oh right, it was compressed.

 

Idiot.

OMG! skyrim had no cutscenes, that's why it was able to fit onto the xbox, explain why max payne 3 which is like 1/50th the size of gta "had multiple disks?"

 

idiot

So according to you, a couple hours worth in cutscenes in bigger then days worth of dialogue?

 

 

Oh and Multiplayer and Campaign were pretty much split up, small portion of the Campaign on Disk 2 along with Multiplayer. Not going to be the case for V considering both MP and SP use the same everything.(Map, Spawns, etc..)

 

Besides, Have you no faith in R* abilities? If Bethsda is able to put a game like Skyrim into 3.9GB, I'm certain R* can take a game like GTA V and put into something like 7-8GB. It really ALL comes down to how well they compress the game.

Rockstar had trouble fitting iv on 1 disk

 

Just face it, it will have multiple disks

 

and for the final time, skyrim had no cutscenes! that's how it was able to fit

That was 5 years ago, in a time when R* had very little knowledge of their new found RAGE.

 

Something you're still not acknowledgeing either is how well they will compress it. Again with my Skyrim argument, still stands.

 

It ALL comes down to the level of compression.

 

I saw GTA SA at 660MB, still ran perfect for me.

Ok, what about assassins creed 3

 

2 disk, smaller world "most likely less cutscenes and half the game was just a jungle!

 

I just cant see this game being 1 disk, it's impossible and rockstar are impressive devs, but there is no way they can turn gta 5 into a 1 disk game

 

The game should be 2 disk, but i wouldn't be surprised if it was 3.

[5000 Staples]

 

People who think that there are going to be more than one disk are talking crazy.

 

It works for games like LA Noire and Max Payne as they aren't sandbox games. It wouldn't work for V as it would ruin

character development. By that I mean the money you would have acquired throughout the story and side missions, the clothes you would have bought etc etc/ 

 

Would you drive down highway and a message telling you to put disk two in etc? It wouldn't work.

...It's pretty easy to achieve.. they will just do what they did with HALO 4.

 

Split story and online. one on each.

 

And also... to say that you can't split one half of the story from another with a disk is also crazy. lets look back at metal gear solid and final fantasy games.

It's not about the cutscenes, that's just not true. It is about the quality and efficiency of compression.

 

But I think GTA V will have two or more discs, because R* gives a f*ck about compression haha

[Shane_Dbns]

I have a XBOX but I'm gonna buy it on PS3 because its only 1 disk, I remember LA noir I lost disk 3 so I couldn't see the ending

I hope one cuz I don't want to download excess disks via hard drive

The difference here with GTA4 and GTA5 is the lead platform.

 

360 was the lead platform for GTA4

PS3 is the lead platform for GTA5

 

That makes a hugeeeee difference in content of a game.

 

Take it with a grain of salt if you wish, but according to this thread in the News section there is no lead platform.

Cutscenes in GTA have been rendered in game since III.

I don't like to backseat moderate.....But....Come on! There is like ten threads about this exact thing. USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION.

if you like to back seat moderate, then why are you doing it? im confused

who said?

[5000 Staples]

Presuming considering the demo/screenshots/trailers were all meant to be from ps3.

 

and if there is no lead platform.. it will still make a huge difference in game discs unless they cut content from the ps3 or xbox which they won't do. I highly doubt it will be a one disc game for xbox.

1 for ps3 ( duh) and probably 2 ( maybe one extra for multiplayer) , but I don't really get how they could split the game in two discs.. so maybe just 1 for xbox too

There is always a lead platform, rockstar said there wasn't to "not upset the 360 community"

Haha, yea I thought so too, I get how it can piss 360 users off so I voted 2

I don't get it, why would this upset the xbox community ?

Possible, I personally don't think you can't not have a lead platform....

 

It would upset the xbox community like when the ps3 community were upset when gta4 was said that xbox is lead platform.

[Dbliek]

I don't think ANYONE was upset about that XD

You get the same game anyway, why be upset over the lead platform..man gaming is taking a swandive to nonsense and stupidity ..

Like I said... there is huge difference in games from porting.

 

look at mafia 2 just for an example. People have the right to be upset when the console they have isn't the lead platform.

[Gangxxter]

Let's find out by the votes

Great idea, let's find the truth!

 

It's over 9000!

ps3 community was upset when the 360 was a lead platform, so it will turn around

I think I just don't understand, why I would be upset if gta was ported to xbox, or have xbox as lead platform, worst case is I have to wait a day or 2 for a patch, big deal

Yeh you don't understand. Porting games is dreadful for the game because things have to be cut (most of the time its graphically)

 

for example.

 

this was mafia 2

 

PS3

 

 

XBOX 360

 

 

 

this sort of stuff happens in the time from porting games over and its just bad...

 

 

 

"Hey guys,

 

When designing Mafia II, we optimized for each of the three different systems the game would run on to make sure the core experience was the best it could be. Because of this, there are some differences from one platform to the next. In terms of the PS3 version, I wanted to clarify a couple points you have been asking about: There will not be highly detailed grass or large pools of blood, the cloth movement is less noticeable than, for example, the PC version, and the visual fidelity in the demo is generally representative of what you’ll see in the full game

And rockstar did this too with gta IV or red dead?

I don't seem to recall seeing bad graphics on ps3 OR xbox

Not much of a difference If you'd ask me, but hey..if ps3 guys were upset about it, that sucks then

I don't think the xbox version of gta will be alot worse then ps3, I might get proven wrong, I might now, It's still the same kick ass gameplay, and that's why I play them

PS3 win hands down. the yard looks better when mowed. PS3=better landscaping.

Hopefully it doesn't 360 users shouldn't get shafted

[Dbliek]

I don't mean this in a bad way, but I was kinda sure you were hoping for it ( because of your username) but you're a nice guy now I know that

Let's just hope ALL versions are evenly matched ( ps3 will look sligtly better, with xbox having less fps problems, at least I think that's the general idea between the two consoles)

[Hvitdverg]

isn't it how many disks? not how much?

[UberChargedCJ]

2 or 3 or even 4 depends on GB's

[DarrenC1888]

Xbox needs multiple discs!!??!! Makes me glad I've got a PS3. I thought Xbox used HD Dvds.
