Now Borberlands is a really big game with a ridiculousy amount of content (Bigger then Fallout 3)
On PC and PS3 it will fit fine but on 360 i'm not quite sure ..... i think that they will either find a way or there gonna have to put it on 2 disc.

the average game is 6 to 7 GB and a Dual layer disc has up to 8.5 GB but considering the game borderlands i'm not sure whether thats enough...

what are your thoughts ? cause i have no idea.

2 disk games already exist, so I don't see any problems with that happening.

Your grammar is really starting to annoy me.

Barberlands is not a big game, it's a barbershop simulator.

Also, it is being developed for Xbox 360.

The only "ridiculous" amount of content is weapons. And that's probably just 30 types of weapons times different names + quality of them (like Diablo 2 has Normal, Elite and so on) times number of enchantments and combinations possible.

Why would it be a problem? You change disks once, which takes about 20 seconds, in a game that'll be hours and hours long.

I'm sure that if the developer wants to publish the game on Xbox 360 they will find a way to compress textures and reduce polygon complexity until all the art assets can fit on a single DVD. Why do people get so carried away by the Blu-Ray's ridiculous data capacity? The amount of detail you can put in the game is not only limited by the space on the disc, you have to consider the technical limitations of the console's CPU, memory, and GPU as well. Since the PS3 and Xbox360 are about identical from a technical power standpoint there's no reason this game can't work on Xbox 360 if it works on PS3.

Actually, the world is also (mostly) randomly generated, which may take up some space, I don't know. And the guns actually have a larger number of variables; weapon type, bullet type, magazine size/type, effects, etc.

And to the OP: Fallout 3 worked fine on the 360, didn't it?

Ugg, not another fucking FPS/RPG hybrid. This is gonna be just as mediocre as all the rest. Or maybe it will be like Bioshock which isn't an rpg at all.

Are you really so lazy that you can't switch a fucking disk? It sounds like it will be a very linear game anyway.

Sorry, what exactly is linear about an open world RPG set in a mostly randomly generated world?

I think that random-gen environments might even save room on the disc, seeing as how it's made on the fly, so you don't have to store it, you just have to give the program the math to make it. I'm not entirely sure though, that could be completely false.

Either way, I'm stoked for it, because co-op online story mode games get me hot.

...not really, but they're still crazy fun.

I swear, this is a testament to how lazy each generation becomes as technology advances.

Seriously, how many of you didnt play Final Fantasy VII because it had "4 disks"?

Lets say for arguments sake that God of War 3 was so awesome or Last Guardian was so detailed that it required 2 blu-ray disks (at the rate games are growing, this could someday be the case).

Would you suddenly decide you don't want God of War 3 because it's on "2 disks?"

Pc owners have been swapping disks forever, even just to install a game sometimes requires disk swapping.. so what? I just bought the Death Note box set.. oh noes imagine my woe when I discovered it was FULL OF DISKS! What do you mean I cant watch all 37 episodes on a single dvd?! Preposterous!

Honestly, I know what would solve this... make consoles with a disk-changer multi-disk capacity. That way, you can put in 5 disks at a time and not have to get your lazy ass up to switch them out.

But even then I bet we'll still hear bitching about how it sucks to have to reach over and hit a button on the remote to change the disk every 20 hours or so...

Personal preferance reasons.

Bah, big deal. I've played plenty of games that required multiple disks. It's not like it's a big hassle to switch them, so I don't care. I care even less because I own a PS3.

On a side note, is that game coming out this year? It'll give me something to look forward to, since Red Dead Redemption and Heavy Rain got pushed and Rise of the White Wolf is being put on hold (canceled.)

also its not as if amazingly good games *need* huge discs, crysis, arguably the best looking game ever and the most resource intensive fits perfectly on one dvd9. Bluray games rarely seem to have a real reason why they need to be on such a big disk, usually its mainly because of the limitations of bluray in terms of speed and having to copy some data multiple times on one disk.

So in other words, I don't see a reason why borderlands wouldn't fit on one disk.
