I’m planning on buying a FALCON xbox360 this winter and this game is just what i’m looking for because Damascus,which is one of the cities in the game,is where I’ve lived all my life.In addition,I really like the arabic names of the characters(each name has a real meaning)

Whoops, hit post to early. I know my first multi-disc game was Final Fantasy VII… and that’s one of the best games I’ve ever played. I don’t see it as ay kind of curse or anything like that.

I think it’s silly that they are calling this an issue for the 360. There is no reason that they couldn’t throw a second disc in. Think of all the stuff they could put in that they already scrapped because of space. They’d have a whole new set of 9 gig or whatever. It should be a no-brainer.

It would be cool on two disks, seem like your getting more for your dough!!! Like when you buy special edition films with multiple disks, just seems more of a package, especially for a big title like Assassins Creed. I would like two disks.

the hd-dvd drive for the 360 is not capable of playing games as it is connected via USB and isn’t designed for transferring huge amounts of game data

I don’t think it’s necessary to have all 5 languages on the discs for every country…it’d be nice to have them be downloadable for those that want it

No, the memory is a defined limit. You can’t bypass it. Disk space limitations can be bypassed easily with a second disk. You can’t just insert more memory. This isn’t the N64. The 360 has more dynamic/available memory than the PS3. The PS3 has more storage capacity than the 360.

But yes, nice name, troll. do your research

the memory problems have more to do with the developers ane the coding not the hardware itself on the ps3. do some research

idiots, 5 languages are the major pal languages thats why europe gets fucked alot of the time with release ates, translation takes a fucking long time

3 of them are ‘old’ compared to AC. Team Fortress is not exactly graphic intensive, and Portal is not a full retail game.

But from what I hear, Team Fortress 2 is equal to the FUN you’d get out of one retail game.

I agree. This game, while free-roaming, seems as if it’s split up into multiple roamed cities. It has no online multiplayer (confirmed anyway, as far as I know) so splitting it into two disks shouldn’t be that huge of an issue.

I’d rather play multi-disk, even though I have the HD-DVD Add-on. Heard of such things as USB latency?

By: Chris

its quite funny everyone notices that the dvd is being an issue… but no one iscommenting on the bigger issue

you can add a second dvd if realy needed which MS will help them that it isnt….. but theirs a work around

Now on the other hand the ps3 has MEMORY issues something that can’t exactly be augmented ever

The Orange Box fit 5 different games onto one disc…i dont see how its that much more difficult for Assasins Creed?

and it would be boycotted by 10m 360 owners who don’t want to have to fork out for a HD-DVD player - ESPECIALLY when they the majority don’t even have HDTV’s.

By: Sean

Sean — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 15:20:49 +0000

It’s called compression. That’s why you need to UNINSTALL games. Crysis requires something like 16Gb of free HDD space.

By: Tucky

Tucky — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 12:42:30 +0000

or just make it the first hd dvd game then id have a good enough reason to buy a hd dvd player and it would force ms to integrate a hd dvd drive in the next 360 lol

you need the spanish for canada too, they heading up there in droves for free healthcare lmao! they can have them!

I can’t see why they need 5 languages on the disk… I mean the most you would probably need per country is 2.

English for the UK, French/Englsh for Canada, Spanish/English for the US etc etc etc…

Would probably cost more to run the disks that way BUT… why try to cram 5 onto one disk when realisticly you only need 2 per country.

By: Pars_Andy

Why not just regionalise the release. They don’t need to put 8 languages on one disc!

Here’s what I don’t get: why do I need 5 languages? Cut one out. Problem solved.

What I don’t get is computer games. I am pretty sure that crysis will be on one disc and not a bluray of hd-dvd disc.

RapidRunn3r — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 01:24:25 +0000

They’ve said this about several games, including most recently PGR4. But they’ll make it fit on one disc just like every other game. Don’t worry about it.

360 has media storage limitations and PS3 has system memory limitations, what’s the news again?
