Lost Odyssey To Span Four DVDs
Perhaps proving that Sony has something to their 'bigger disc as standard' argument, IGN is reporting that Lost Odyssey will span multiple DVDs when it is released for the Xbox 360 next year. "Hot on the heels of the three DVD long Blue Dragon, Sakaguchi informed the crowd that Lost Odyssey will span a massive four DVDs. The game, which uses a mixture of CG and real-time cutscenes, will last roughly 40 to 50 hours. Lost Odyssey will follow in Blue Dragon's footsteps in another way as well. The team plans to ship the game with multiple language options, including English and Japanese. However, the voice animations will be synched to English on all versions, including the Japanese release."
I have a Wii, I played it some, there are _SOME_ good games, but the production has only started ramping up on the Wii, as most major studios got caught red-handed with a 10-million-console market and no products to offer. So I think it will become more and more interesting, as the months will go back. DS, well, it's there to stay. PSP, we'll see.
Correcting you, a full-featured 360 costs MORE than the PS3 (Like $200 more), for all the same features.
As far as the way I see it, both consoles have to better themselves.
- 360 is more expensive than PS3 with HD and Wireless. When there will be a all-in-one, I will consider
- 360 is very fragile. At least half the 360 I know got sent to repairs, which is a total shame.
- 360 had a headstart, but it doesn't mean it will stay that way. HD-DVD might get to the dump bin too.
- PS3 doesn't have games for it. Actually, there are 2 games I find interesting, when it will become 3-4, I will consider
- PS3 uses Blu-Ray and no one is certain about that format either.
Finally, I don't have a HD screen (well, my laptop has), so buying these consoles is a total exercise in futility for me.
