EYE C WUT U DID DARE

I remember Kojima saying in a interview about using the best audio possible, so that might be the case.

Erm crap. There really needs to be a edit button or something. I for what ever reason forgot to type "something" after "kojima saying."

Still makes sense the way it is. But it should be "an" interview. ;)

Audio compression? Nope... and this is running on a dual layer BluRay...

That means 50GBs...

You do realize...this means that it quite possibly fills an entire (or close to) 50GB. So yes, teh blurayzz.

gotta love this kid, hes' pretty damn consistent in his trolling.

What does this statement mean?

I know there are arguments that making lots of content is expensive. But in this case the content will get made anyway.

Do you really think developers are unable to copy a few more files to a disk if it had space and make a single option to switch languages?

well im not a developer by any means but i would speculate that if they used the type of compression they used to use for DVD's then they would still have space left to spare. but not having to compress as much is part of the point of Blu-ray it would seem. either way, it is very ironic.

Your right, but I believe the point is, that they are saying they can't fight another audio track on the disc, even though it is Blu-Ray.

ummm fit*

You know how to call 'em, Samfish!

I like your avatar lol.

I don't really see the problem, why wouldn't I want to listen to the best VO in video game history? But it is kinda strange not to have it...

I'm leaving this comment so 3 years from now I can search google with 'SHAGIBOOKMARK' and come back to it to laugh when the PS3 wins this generation.

Or, in 3 years we can google it and see what a tool you were all along.

Welcome to the double edged sword shagi.

I'll bet you a dollar on PayPal it won't.
I do expect it to beat the 360, though.




...no one ever takes my PayPal bets even though I'm always serious about them.

Shagi, you're a genious.

I'm stealing your Idea.

EMOBOOKMARK!

there is no way the ps3 will beat the 360. 360 is too far ahead, and its still outselling the ps3. The wii took a whole year to catch the 360, (actually its still not caught yet) and it outsells the 360 by aaround 100 000 a month. The ps3 is still the bottom of the barel. In order for them to catch up in any way, they would need to outsell the xbox like 24 months in a row. And with GOW2, fable2 mass effect 2, too human and who knows what else coming out, thats not gonna happen. The race is between nintendo and xbox. But I see a big drop in wii sales as the novelty wares off, and more people buy hdtvs (unless nintendo comues out with some sort of 720/1080 outputting wii or something.)

HDTV sales will not affect the Wii, because even though it looks relatively bad (I only notice the mad scaling jaggies when nothing is moving, myself), no other console offers what Wii offers, and what drives the sales is in no way tied to its graphical capabilities

Fad could wear off at some point, but thats the lovely thing of the blue ocean theory. Still about 290million Americans alone who don't have one

PS3 outsold the 360 last year.

@ KennCommander & mike

U guys are hilarious... Not only will the PS3 beat the 360 but it will by a margin. The PS3 sales internationally unlike the 360 is ONLY successful in the US. The 360 is dead in JP and its currently being outsold by the PS3. America is the 360's only crutch and thats not enough. Be realistic. W/ america being the only place where the 360 is actually being purchased and w/ the hardware problems still alive, the 360 will be last this gen. Dont get me wrong though, Game of the Year will be either MGS4 and GoW2 and I'm excited about both. IF M$ fixes the hardware problem maybe I'll own an Elite w/ GoW2 & NG2 instead of playin them at my friends house.

P.S. with mike dropping titles, he is no different than any other fanboy that is just trying to justify their purchase.

Well mike, the PS3 outsold the 360 in 2007. North America was the 360s only sales peak and that fell last month. Apparently some people didn't look at the actual sales figures and instead showed us how easy they are to fool. Thanks for buying into marketing rather than the truth.

Also the PS3 sold faster than the 360 during it's first 14 months since launch. This is even with the padded numbers MS has due to all the people like me that have owned 4 deathbox 360s.

Frank, it's called crappy audio, MP3, look into it.

FLAC FTW?

Oh please. Don't tell me you're one of those gold plated audio cable purchasing audiophiles that can tell the difference between 256Kbps VBR and 192Kbps CBR.

There are various lossless compression algorithms out there. And frankly, most people don't give a damn between lossless and lossy anyway because most people can't tell the difference.

I doubt many people could tell the difference between 320 kbps mp3's and uncompressed sound. Especially when it's coming out of TV speakers, or any speakers of a non-audiophile...

Frank, it's called quality. Look into it.

Even though it should go without saying, original creative works are best in their intention. In other words, what's translated can never precisely reflect the nuances intended by the original author.

A prime example would be German philosophy. If you're ever interested in horrible translation, pick up something by Schiller or Hagel. It's virtually unreadable in English.

Yes NoHitHair, but this is cheesy pseudo-intellectual anime drivel, not works of literary merit.

I'm sure I can deal with 'Set us up the bomb' instead of 'Prepare the bomb'.

Oh I agree. I don't really care that DMC4 won't have the original localization because DMC's entire storyline is pandering garbage.

I just simply wanted to clarify that there is reason to retain untranslated works.

Well obviously there is some utility for the people who understand the language... but for the rest of us schmucks, I still don't see the issue.

His name is H-E-G-E-L. Make sure you know what the hell you are talking about before you try to get all faux-intellectual. And its a fucking videogame, not a philosophical masterpiece. Finish your cereal and go wait outside for the schoolbus.

Is not the best graphics technology, sure, but they did helluva good job creating detailed, immersive environments

I am surprised, though, 50 GB per layer should be more than enough, unless they made more detailed environments and have more voiceovers than I expected

Fernando, the Wii's graphics are about as good as their ever going to get. You will never see a Far Cry, Resistance or Uncharted type game on that system. And if that doesn't bother you, I digress.

Frank

I know that the Wii can't handle that kind of graphics... everyone knows that, since the beggining.

But I never expect that a Wii game looks better graphically than a PS3 or 360.

What I'm saying is that MGS4 doesn't look more good than a lot of 360 games or a lot of PS3 games.


Besides, I don't know why PS3 fanboys complain about the Wii graphics. This is the first time that Nintendo makes a console with inferior graphics. Nintendo 64 has better graphics than PS1, and PS2 has the worst graphics from last gen. Gamecube was a lot more powerful than the PS2.
