No 50 gigs should be fine for the next gen. Also as for the multiple disk debate in the past extra disks were usually the result of movies and the actual game could fit on one disk but now since that's not the case multiple disks creates serious problems for developers and can negatively effect a game (especially open world games) | |
Also "According to the State of the Internet report from Akamai for Q4 2011, the average Internet speed in South Korea during the quarter was 17.5 Mbit/s, with a peak Internet connection speed of 47.9 Mbit/s" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_in_South_Korea#Internet_speed | |
I could've snagged Persona 3 FES off PSN if I wanted to for 10 bucks, but I went the better route and paid 20 for the disc from Amazon.

Ketorulz posted... Will games get so big on Wii U that it will become pointless to use discs and just go completely digital? Wii U disc are at least 25GB(maybe 50GB) so if you don't mind spending hours downloading then yes. Internet speeds are not fast enough in most regions so they are effectively a limit on how big a game can be even if it is digital. Then there's the issue of storing the data for Nintendo/Sony/MS/Valve/EA. | |
ahahahahaha never on god's green earth will that happen. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_Versatile_Disc And that was 4 years ago. --- Men must be taught as if you taught them not, And things unknown proposed as things forgot. Shooting blanks, every time, all the time. | |

DemonDog666 posted... lionheart5656 posted...ahahahahaha never on god's green earth will that happen. That's because the 360 was more backwards than the Wii. It tried to beat blu ray and force their junk down everyone's throat and it backfired hard. That doesn't mean they are too big for discs in general. If we were going by that dumb logic, his question would already be answered by the PS1 era. --- Men must be taught as if you taught them not, And things unknown proposed as things forgot.

there's been multi-disc interactive movies (did any actual games require that much space?) since PS1 space won't be the problem..... --- I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will fight to the death for my right to fight you to the death. -Stephen Colbert | |
lionheart5656 posted... ahahahahaha never on god's green earth will that happen. That disc format was vapourware. Optware, the company behind it, died. Holographic discs will exist at some point in the future (although not in the next few years at consumer level), but HVD is a complete non-starter. |
