HALO 3 to come on 4 DVDs ?

[satch919]

All they said was "highly anticipated" and "rumored", nothing about Halo 3. For all we know, it could be Gears of War. But in the end, it's just a rumour.

It is most likely that one rpg who had a devolper complaining about the lack of space. He probably filled the dvd's with a bunch of crappy cgi videos like the rest of his games.

My thoughts exactly.

Which would be my thoughts, if Blu-Ray was actually slow, but in fact it's DVD's that are signifiicantly slower than Blu-Ray. Look to post #33.

36GB? That's as much as I have on my HD right now, and I have a number of games installed. I call BS. Two DVDs I can see, but 4? That's just insane.

lets put this thread to rest there is no way a fps would take up this much space oblivion i can see maybe 2 disks i use maby very lightly because 9 gigs is alot the only way halo 3 would be 4 disks is if it were 60 hours of cg videos and 1 billion hours of gameplay.

only 36gig?
I have a 80 and im ordering a 250gig soon!

I don't care how big you make Halo, they were never all that great to begin with.

I'd rather see an updated version of Goldeneye on 360.

QFE.

GoldenEye was one of few great FPS that were on a console.

I think this could work. They could certainly go to a "Please insert disk #x now" system (lame, but doable). Also, while not probable, it's possible that the storage space needed isn't for textures per se, but for really large maps and a really long storyline. Imagine if Half Life 2 was four times as long...

^^ 4 times as long and 4 times as many worlds to go through, yes. Still not sure if it would have taken up 4 DVDs.

And to take Goldeneye down a notch, the only FPS competition when Goldeneye came out was, like, Turok. Anything would look like top notch compared to that control scheme and gameplay. Sure Goldeneye was great ... every friend I can name played it for hours. But it doesn't deserve this much praise in 2005. Plus there have been forgettable Bond sequels made by EA up to this point, lest you forget.

Goldeneye was a great game and still does deserve praise in 2005. The same could be said about HalfLife..it still gets praise in 2005 and yet that was on its own at the time of release pretty much.

Goldeneye on the N64 was the same as Halo on the XBox - good games, but overrated because there was no competition on their respective consoles.

You can only claim a great FPS really when it is released successfully on the FPS platform - the PC :thumbs:

Your sig messes with my mind!!

And to say Half-Life 2 is without FPS competition on the PC platform is like saying Street Fighter Alpha was without fighting game competition on the arcade platform (to clear up what I meant by competition).

 

[AmishSlayer]

$10 says it won't have 4 dvd's.

I smell BS.

 

[VirusType2]

Well I have to disagree.

Goldeneye was perfect except that you could only play multiplayer on splitscreen. but that was also the reason it was perfect. Not everyone had internet ( i didn't) and this was the only way for people like me and my friends to game up and play 4 player at a time fragfest. The dual sub-machine guns and sticky bombs were just perfect. I used to always set traps with the watch. and when my buddies come by i press the button on the watch and blow them to dust.


The graphics were like twice as good as anything i saw on the N64, and definately the best I had ever seen, the gameplay was the best i had ever experienced, the sound was perfect. would score it 10 in every category

I think if you could look past the graphics, which, in Singleplayer, were awesome as hell for that time, Goldeneye would still be a lot of fun even today.

The single gripe i had about goldeneye was the ultimate machine gun BF9(whatever it was called) it was too good making the game no fun. Sort of how Gran tourismo 3 & 4 put a couple F-1 cars in the game its like.. UHHH WTF this sucks

Speaking of which you ever play a game with like 10 really fun guns to use but only one of them is effective and it's the boring one? ..sorta like that.

I thought half-life1 sucked but i didn't give it much of a chance, the graphics were so horrible on the PS2 version i played for like 10 or 20 minutes. the guy who owned the game kept saying the PC version was wildly popular and much better

Blu-Ray is faster,

and HD-Dvd is .55 faster than blu-ray.

They're comparing them at 1x there...
