Multiple discs help!

May 27, 2013

Hopefully Rockstar doesn't have to lower the detail to make it fit on the Xbox 360 discs. If they do have to do that, I hope it wont affect the PS3 version, which will be superior this time around. Why would Rockstar demo a game on an inferior system?

Youre an idiot, there gonna look the same on both consoles, and ps3 doesnt even loom good with 1080p graphics like the 360

May 27, 2013

It will probably be similar to Forza 3 (haven't bought forza 4 yet) which had an install disc and a play disc.....

May 28, 2013

where as on 360 its automatic 1080p

What?

Where did you get this from?

Ps3 is native 720p you nitwit, with xbox 360 its automatically upscaled to 1080p, convert a ps3game to 1080p does nothing but make the game look bigger on screen

What exactly are you trying to say here?

Im saying 360 displays 1080p graphics better than ps3. Deal with it

No. Stop being a fanboy.

You know its true,its ok tk be in denial

Provide proof otherwise.

This is not true.

Maybe when the PS3 was first released but for the most part many games including Midnight Club LA have been full 1080 HD on the PS3.

It upscales any media you ask it to (the 360 does the exact same thing)..

Those comments are in fact more retarded than I originally thought about, since the PS3 has blu-ray, it displays 'true' 1080p.

This thread has, as expected though, turned into a console war.

Both formats copies of GTA V will be pretty much identical, with disc swapping being the major difference.

Only if and when a PC version is released will we really be able to argue about the graphics.

May 28, 2013

Disc 1 - Music in high quality

Disc 2 - Everything else

This is the ONLY reasonable option, since people without HDDs are able to play the game too.

May 28, 2013

I find it unfair that some people get 2 or sometimes even 3 discs while others get only 1

May 28, 2013

Here's a decent article on the subject.

Conclusion: Will be multiple discs!

May 28, 2013

Will either be one disc or a max of two with one install disc.

LA Noire required much more disc space because of the face capture technology.

If you you install both discs you don't have to swap. If you don't have the space you have to swap.

May 28, 2013

All the PS3 and 360 fanboyism in this topic is just painful to watch. There may be multiple disks but if they are there's no question that you'll be able to roam the entire map without switching disks, rockstar isn't stupid, they know people want a seamless experience. Personally I own both systems and I'm getting V on the 360 because all my friends are on xbox live. The 360 version isn't going to look noticeably better due to porting issues, and the PS3 version is not going to look any better due to more disk space, you're just embarrassing yourselves arguing otherwise.

I'm not really sure what he's trying to say, first he implies that X360 renders games in 1080p, then he says it upscales it so 1080p.

That guy is an idiot.

Also, Midnight Club: Los Angeles was 960x720 (QAA) on PS3 and it was = 1280x720 (2xAA?) on the X360 just for your information.

It has almost every game for every specific platform (with the exception of PC).

What would you rather have? A game that has multiple discs with more content or a game on one disc that would probably have 75% of the story cut out. The story will probably only require disc swapping cuz on LA Noire the whole city could be explored on one disc

Okay, this makes sense. I forgot about LA Noire having the entire city on both dics, just not the entire story. While I still think it'll only be a single disc, this does seem like the most realistic way of going about it.

May 28, 2013

This is part of the reason why I got a PS3. Why worry about multiple discs and how it works when you can just avoid it all together? So I rest easier now knowing that it's just a non issue for me.

May 28, 2013

The first preview already said the story will be shorter than IV.

Plus the map doesn't seem to be huge.

These make me think V will be on one disk.

I never heard that one before. Show me a link for this please.

Yeah I agree. Multiple discs will affect the experience of GTA. Plus didn't Rockstar fit GTA 3 on a UMD

May 28, 2013

The V story will be roughly the same of the RDR story

May 28, 2013

Why assume it's multiple discs? Just Cause 2 wasn't Multiple Discs.

Just Cause 2 re-used a lot of its assets around the world.

I think it will be two tops, have said this on multiple occasions. One disk for single-player and a second for the multiplayer aspect of the game.

Installs are about 4-5GB.

You're wrong. GTA doesn't need another disk for MP. It reuses the exact models as the SP. DUHHH!

I am not saying that at all.

The real idiot here seems to be you. Maybe you should learn how to read correctly as your grasp of the topic in question is frustrating.

I have been on this forum for years, playing, discussing and creating content for GTA.

anyway...

I didn't once 'imply' the 360 renders 1080 then say it upscales...

I just clearly stated that BOTH consoles upscale their games original resolutions and was saying MCLA was upscaled to full 1080 on the PS3.

Whereas the 360 version contained no 1080 scaling. (& ok now you've provided a source showing the 360 had a higher base res.) - Well done, Google is your friend

I was trying to say that people seem to think one is really 'better than the other', when different games have their unique benefits depending on the console.

My point was that GTAV's benefit would be that it was on One Disc on PS3 offering a fluid 1080p experience.

Either way, I did exactly what I didn't want to do and added fire to a console war.

In the end, I hope everyone is happy with whatever console they buy the game for (and just enjoys the game!)

Wow, so much misinterpretation.

Also, I didn't Google that, I myself regularly post on Beyond3D, I was aware of the rendering resolution thread already.

May 28, 2013

Not sure how multiple discs will work out on GTA but they'll prob find a way and I won't mind them

May 28, 2013

HELP! im guessing it will be multiple discs now, so my question is how much free space will i need on my hardrive??? ( xbox )
Will Rockstar say before the release if it is multiple discs and if so how much free space you need?

THANKS......

well nobody except rockstar can say a thing about that, if you look at recent games

Skyrim = 4,5 GB

AC3 = 13,5 GB

saints row 3 = 8 GB

so as you see these are just a few of the games out now, and as you also could see the sizes seem to be far from the same, so nobody except rockstar,

ps: GTA V will probably be multiple discs on xbox 360 ( i also own a X360) and i guess 2/3 discs with 1 Play disc and 2 instal discs

May 28, 2013

Why assume it's multiple discs? Just Cause 2 wasn't Multiple Discs.

Just cause 2 used the same models and textures repeatedly around the world. If each texture was different, the game would need about 5 disks for xbox because of its sheer size.

Are you implying that GTA V will have individual textures for each prop? Megatextures was a failure anyway.
