1. You "STILL" question that MGS4 can't be fit onto a DVD9, EVEN AFTER I just told you that on today's high-def games, you require double copies of textures and video? Yeah we know textures aren't that big, but videos are. In fact you completely missed that point. You know, you're not the only guy they are making games for. Other people have HDTV's too ya know, and other people have standard-def tvs.
lol...Umm how bout they just use less cg and more in game cinematics? I mean umm if the ps3 can do "killzone" then what do they need cg for?...lol... Seriously though, MGS4 is gonna use more in-game than CG so what is filling all that space? If theyre using in-game cinemas your point is null.

2. Just because a "fighting game" is 800MB (which most of them are in fact) doesnt mean most games are. That's totally false. Look at Suikoden 3, I remember trying to downsize that game to a CD and it was just impossible because there was too much game data. The fact is, the amount of game data needed is growing higher because we need double copies of what used to be single copies.
I know that but how about games like san andreas that is just 2 gigs? That game is huge and oblivion, thats huge too. And I know not all games are gonna be able to fit on a CD and thats obvious but DVD9 have not yet seen their prime for games. So why all of a sudden they should be absolete? If its sony's opinion that they are, who is paying for it? Us, Devs....not them.

3. Gamecube disks were heavily looked down upon by developers. Of course, that didn't stop Capcom from releasing RE4, but it was still an obstacle in developing games. Even poured over to other console's b/c of it. It got so bad they turned to divX.
Yea but they games were still decent size in terms of gameplay so the gamers weren't complaining.

4. Ok 2 things is happening here. You're telling me, that Sony is telling me we need more space. A developer, Hideo Kojima, is telling the world, that MGS4 can't be fit onto a DVD9. Who am I to believe? Are you a developer? No. I believe Hideo Kojima. I hope you don't feel too bad I picked him.
I'd rather believe every other developer than a couple! Listen, Tons of devs have said that blu ray is too expensive and not necessary in the current game space. Just because hideo kojima (the same guy that said the xbox and the ps2 is similar in power! I mean you trust a guy that would say that!?....lol) said so doesn't mean its gospel. I don't believe him, he has said some stupid shit in the past so he has no credibility with me. Ill say it again, only japanese devs are complaining for the reason I mentioned before. As a gamer none of these things affect me cause I play games not watch them.
