2007-02-25 06:46:55 Mass Effect how many discs??? 4!!!

Take away 3 and you are left with 1 :)

Mass Effect uses 1 disc.

Does “Mass Effect” fit on one disc?
Yep, but just barely. This is a monstrous game. In fact, there was a time – not too long ago – when we pretty much scoffed at the idea of fitting onto one disc. But, there’s an art to optimizing the data that goes on a disc – plus we have a few programmers that seem to pull off magic tricks right when we need them.

I'm interested in seeing what Mass Effect ends up offering considering its suppose to be a gigantic game.

Yeah but al those hours will be the first gameplay through, what about you gonna create another characters and class, and then another one with different ways to finish it.

I tihnk Mass Effect will be unlimited depending on how you are gonna play it.
I am gonna gonna play 3 times all serious characters and stats and so on. But after that then its all fun parts, be powerful and evil hehe.

all in all, it depends on how you are gonna play the game.

Yeah this is a game you have to play multiple times to see how you actually effect the universe with your decisions.

i passed Zelda in 50 hours and i didn't even finish all of the side quest. the textures were crap but the game was engaging after the first 3 hours.

ok, i had a point to what i was trying to say but it seemed to have flown by.

it had to do with something along the lines of Zelda being longer and better. oh and if its as long as Zelda with high def everything then we should be good on a DVD9.

something like that lol

Yup, the length is fine for me, and I will do another play through just for the hell of it, even if there isn't any different endings or stuff like that.

Hmm, its been a while though since I played KOTOR, it was around 25 hours, right?

Well, Oblivion was only 6.2GB, which was the longest game i've ever played, i clocked 94hrs and still didnt complete it, it seems to last for ever! Anyway this is why i'm not suprised that Mass Effect fits on a single disc

2007-02-25 14:50:29

Optimising = content taken out.

I was actually wondering about this the other day, but i think its' fairly obvious 1 disc would be enough.

BD would have easily fit on 1 disc if it wasn't for HD-FMV.

I doubt this game uses FMV at all, i don't think it really matters, swapping disc's is no biggy, especially where RPG's are concerned.

Because not everything would have to be recreated, many of the scripted scenes on disc one could be removed as long as they didn't reoccur.

And i guess it wouldn't hurt if you went back to X planet and the bar there was closed for refurbishments, or you coudln't land because there was a voilent storm taking place.

There are ways around it, as long as it doesn't effect the progression of the story and objection of the game it shouldn't matter, no point visiting a planet if there is nothing to do there.
