Limit Reached - Kojima makes Sony Commercial Dated!
Yea, you heard that right, looks like MGS4 is serious about being the Magnum Opus of 2008. QJ.net reports that Kojima and the would be Fox Hound members of Konami were able to fill up the blu ray disc and still had other things to put in the game.
Damn! Rememder this commercial -

Obviously Sony didn’t invite Kojima to the marketing meetings back then. You have to appreciate a developer/producer like Kojima though - “why limit yourself?” So it ruins the chance of me playing MGS4 with one of the Policenauts characters? I was looking forward to that.
It also ruins the chance of a 360 version for sure but I guess a 3 Disc solution isn’t so bad if users were willing to play 4 CDS of FFvII. Are users ready to loose there lives over this? I am. I wonder if a future version of this game will be released? You know, the version that has everthing he wanted in there. Hmm, suspicious? Bloggers are wondering why Kojima didn’t just put the game across two blu ray discs, or why not use the Quad Layer 100GB discs as well. Most likely, that would require a firmware update on the PS3 side of things and a release signature from Sony as those discs are probably reserved for the next gen of cinema viewing - QuadHD, or PS4. Kojima never ceases to amaze.
A. I believe this is a ploy by Kojima and Konami who said they could not recoup their $ on MGS4 on only PS3 to “Damage” the view on Blu Ray.
B. Now will someone tell me what the big issue is with changing a disc? This isn’t something we are unfamiliar with, it’s not like you have to go out and buy the next disc or have it shipped to you when you get to the end of one. WHY The uproar? Is it that difficult to program a pause screen with text “Please insert disc 2″ on it? Especially since it’s been done since 14 disk windows 95 installations?
C. The fact that they can’t fit MGS on 1 disc = people should stop complaining about formats. Because if you have to put it on 2 you might as well put it on 3 or 4.
And finally.
D. If a game is coming in at over 50gigs or something do you really want that much space taken up on your hard drive if you had it direct installed?

YUP … couldn’t have said it better myself … its not like the idea is foreign to gamers anyways .. but the point was … how much shit can you put into a game, besides, resolution quality, to take up so much space … much less time.

I don’t really blame him, he’s outdone himself every game, cut scene, plot twists [DaveDaGamer loves those] and character wise everytime … he has a lot to live up to in the ‘American’ market.
