nothing surprising here. it would have never fitted on one DVD. just hope its a case of install and never use the 2nd CD again.

funny how ONE isn't enough for XBOX.

It will be for the ONE, too bad this is for the 360.... (!)

 

 

ON: If there are multiple discs it will not(!) be for MP. MP data is just some gamemodes and network coding, it will not include any maps or vehicles etc. It's just some simple code.

(Also how annoying would it be if you had to switch discs if you wanted to play MP)

 

So it will probably be an install disc.

Second disc could be multiplayer, second disc could also mean somewhere in the store you need to swap it. In other words...no big deal at all.

It would be a big deal to many others, or else this subject would not have been discussed on here a thousand times already.

 

I certainly would not like to play GTA V or any GTA on more than one disc. I just would hate to swap for discs for an open-world, free-roaming game.

we didn't already know this?

 

how can a huge ass game like GTA V fit on a 4.7/8.4GB DVD?

So glad I decided to order the game for PS3 instead of my original choice being the 360.

Dear OP, can you make a screenshot with this e-mail? There is the same e-mail response fake in parallel topic.

Very nice, I hope the second one is just for MP

if they put the Multiplayer on a seperate disc, im going on ebay and buying only That Disc.....thats GREAT news.

You're not a real fan.

icon14.gificon14.gif I thought the same thing the moment i read that sh*t. & I'm sure it wouldn't work that way.

Remember 8 GB per disc. Don't they have a 1 GB restriction? So that makes it 7 GB. If this is their biggest world ever. RDR was 6.7 GB Vanilla game. GTA IV ( I heard ) was 6.4 GB Vanilla game. Xbox 360 will in fact have 2 discs. Unless they got new discs?

Nope. That's wrong. They don't have the restriction anymore. It's now 9GB free if I remember right.

 

And this dude still hasn't posted a pic? Yeah, I don't believe it. It also sounds like a generic response. Also, it's not even clear. Maybe the 2nd disc is like what comes with DVD's, where it's behind-the-scenes kinda thing.

 

Stupid right? Well yeah, so is the idea of R* revealing multiple discs through 1 email, where many people would email the same thing he did.

 

I call bullsh*t, because it is smile.gif

It has already been said that multiplayer will be drop in drop out almost instantly so Multiplayer will NOT be on a second disc

Why does everyone say one disc will be for multiplayer? One of the main features in GTA 5 is the ability to drop in and out of multiplayer at any time. If there's two discs, one is clearly an installation disc.

What about the first disc then?

Why? Just once probably somewhere in the freaking story you have to swap, oh my god...the world is ending now. Come on now, if we're really going to make a big deal of that....damn. If it would mean you need disc 2 for the countryside...THAT would suck.But look at Skyrim, it's not even 4GB all thanks to compression techniques, so who's to say what will be the case for GTA V. I'm suspicious of this email, cause usually Rockstar doesn't give info via email.

 

We really need proof or else...nah.

 

@Tuomaz_

 

What do you mean? The first one would be to just start the story, and somewhere later in the story you need to swap it for the rest of the story. The MP is just on disc 2 in general. I can see that being the case. I believe that's how MP3 was too? Fail At GTA makes some sense actually.

Thanks for your email. The manual and game disc or discs are packaged directly inside the SteelBook. Hope that helps

Even if they responded to you with that, it's a bit vague and doesn't necessairly mean that multiple discs are required for the game. But there is the possibility that it will happen.

You are talking about 8.5GB discs, but you're right that only 7GB of it can be used for videogames, for instance. However, Microsoft was beta testing DVD9 discs in early 2011, which allows developers to use only 6.7GB of the disc though, if the footprint of the security measures aren't reduced, if I remember right. I could be wrong though. I can remember the news about it, but I haven't followed it enough to know the exact details.

Yeah i figure it's going to be on more than one disc due to.the mass volume of the map and textures along with mass amounts of audio files so i don't believe all of that could fit on one disc, who knows you may have to install everything no big deal.

7.95gb is available on those discs now last I checked.

To all the people needing proof bout this email, you really don't.

 

Its just common sense. R* had to take a few things out to make IV fit on xbox. I belive rdr nd MP3 were on multiple ones(unsure reall)$ I knw la noire had about 3 so if that game had 3 I'm sure gta v will also come with 3 or 4.

 

I'm pretty sure there won't be a multiplayer disc or else that smooth transition between sp and mp will be lost.

Red Dead had 1 disc.

Max Payne 3 had 2 discs because of the huge amount of cut scenes and great graphics.

L.A Noire had 3 discs because of face capture technology that was stored on those discs. And that game wasn't even made by Rockstar, so I doubt that it was their choice to make 3 discs.

 

GTA 5 graphics are slightly worse than Max Payne's and better than Red Dead's. Rockstar have always put their open world games in one disc, so the that's how GTA 5 will work. Even if it's not, there will be another disc to install the game so you don't have to switch at all while playing.

 

Saying that the map is too big and it will have 2 discs is dumb. L.A Noire had a huge map and it could fit into the first disc without switching to another one. The only reason why 5 could have more than one is because there's a huge amount of content that's going into the game.

I can't wait to play this on ONE disc!

I can't wait to play this WITHOUT any Discs.

Steam FTW.

 

I'll still buy GTA V physical copy, just because it's cool to have that.

Red Dead was the limit in how much they can store. You see that in GOTY they put MP on the second disc. So GTA V single player will be 2 discs.

That doesn't even make sense. Why would the single player be 2 discs if the MP of Red Dead was on one disc and SP on the other? Lol. Also, the Undead Nightmare pack was pretty big so they obviously had to put it on 2 discs because it also included MP content. There are 3 ways this could go:

 

1.They put everthing on one disc, but cut out some content to keep it for DLC.

2.They make 2 discs. One for Singleplayer and other for Multiplayer

3.They make an install disc so you don't have to switch.

 

If there is a GOTY version, it will include all of the content, making it 2 discs for sure.
