Elder Scrolls IV Will Fit On One Disc

Posted by Zonk on from the that-would-have-been-a-lot-of-content dept.

Gamespot is reporting that, despite earlier reports, the much-anticipated Elder Scrolls IV will fit on one disc for the Xbox 360. 1up is running a preview of the game, slated for a March release. From the article: "This game aims to let the player feel not only immersed in the game world, but also tied to it in an integral way. Your actions will determine future events, and have lasting impacts. For example, during the demo, we learned that the character had accidentally set a villager on fire earlier; after that, when he tried to go join a guild that he had joined in every previous demo, the guildmaster told him he was not welcome. There's a way to fix this, of course -- you can pay a fine, or do something to rehabilitate your reputation so that other villagers will think more kindly of you."

    Imagine being able to set people you don't like on fire, then paying a fine and forgetting about it.

    Of course, this game is hardly realistic. It's actually really hard to set people on fire. Clothes don't just burst into flame from a single match, you need petrol or something. Something to try at home, eh kids?

    .. in any discussion of the 360's use of an HD drive is the fear that the cutscenes in games will mean that games will have to come on multiple DVDs. Thing is, though, the power of the X-Box 360, and presumably the PS3 should allow them to render real-time cutscenes that will look so good that FMV won't be required.

    How about Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall had it before EQ eh?
