Re: I take that back
Not true, VC-1 is both a 1080i or a 1080p codec.
Re: Blu-Ray - HDDVD
At this point, HD-DVD looks better than Blu Ray. Mpeg-2 was used on ORIGINAL DVDs. Edit-Mpeg-2 is only capable of 480p, which definitely isn't high def. Yeah, it's upscaled, but it doesn't look as good as native 1080i or 1080p.
Re: I take that back
Nope the Goal of VC-1 is to convert to 1080i not straight to 1080p sorry i didnt state it correctly but my point was it will be included by HDDVD as well as Blu-ray. Making it no difference in picture quality but not changing the storage capacity of either. So my point is the only difference is storage one has more the other doesnt.
Even the storage size is a non-issuse at this point. The maximum capacity of a triple layered, double-sided HD-DVD is 90GB, while the Blu-Ray has a maximum capacity of 100GB, with a 200G disk in development.
While it is true that storage capacities are getting larger, compression technologies are also getting more advanced. Take Roboblitz for PC and 360 for example, it's an Unreal Engine 3 game that fits in under 50MB, and that's pretty impressive. And I'm sure most companies would much rather spend a week (or less) have one guy compressing their files than to have to print their games onto the more costly HD-DVD and Blu-Ray disks. And even if they did not compress the files that much, it would be pretty hard to fill up even 90GBs. As well, precedurally generating content, as Oblivion, Spore, and BioShock does, takes up significantly less space and effort than having to manually compile all game assets. And it's more fun because you don't feel the game is so linear and makes the game seem more realistic. And frankly, more games should be that way. And even for movies, since there aren't any HD-DVD games. I dare you to find me a movie that could fill up 90GB in any form, even with extra content. Honestly, it's way too early for HD-DVD and Blu-Ray to enter the market, and I'm thinking both will sell terriblly for a long time. And FYI, both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray support the exact same codecs for video (yes, even VC-1, the newer disks, anyway.), so that argument can be laid to rest.
Lay it to rest thenWow eddy you sure know how to expand on the size
difference issue lol I wasnt even referencing games in my true quote and you allready are repeating what I say. why repeat it and then deny it in the same quote. Lay it to rest then. Just let me know what HD DVD game has been planned?
What the hell are you talking about? When did I repeat what you said? My whole point is that HD-DVD and Blu-Ray is totally unnecessary right now. I never said there was going to be any HD-DVD games. And what did I repeat and deny?
Did you even read my post?
That is exactly what I do too..... except my Metal Gear Solids... I don't even own a playstation 2 anymore but I still have my metal gears....
heres what I wrote.
heres what eddy wrote.
And as far as finding out what game is gonna be on HDDVD I allready knew there was none intended. So to compare DVD storage capacity and fitting future games on old tech is somewhat lame to me. But thats just me ok.
