cheesetruncheon: I can't wait for the next consoles, more specifically the Microsoft one, not for purchasing it myself but one of the biggest problems we have right now, and admittedly Microsoft are working a way to make it a little better, is storage on the Discs. I read somewhere that the storage space on a Double Layered DVD for the Xbox 360 provides less space than a PS2 Disc, just because of the Xbox's Video and Security Partition.
Obviously more limited storage space means lower file sizes, meaning crappier voice files, crappier textures and the biggest problem, 6 hour games. and obviously we live in a time where all of the major developers put their games across three platforms, the one that's limiting itself causes limits for the others, limits that quite frankly, shouldn't ever apply to the PC especially now with Digital Downloads.
Agreed....ever watch the parody PS9 ads on youtube where the guy has a floating console sphere or some such? IMO that would kick some major ass.Obviously more limited storage space means lower file sizes, meaning crappier voice files, crappier textures and the biggest problem, 6 hour games. and obviously we live in a time where all of the major developers put their games across three platforms, the one that's limiting itself causes limits for the others, limits that quite frankly, shouldn't ever apply to the PC especially now with Digital Downloads.
