What does "60 levels of player progression while playing online" mean, I wonder? A ranking system? RPG elements?
And I hope they put that time slow feature as a cheat in the game. Would love to play with it and see how the different weapons interact with the environment.

I honestly can't believe the number of people bitching about the graphics, I think it looks pretty sweet. Do guys honestly think we should be getting graphics that much better than Valve's masterpiece Half Life 2 so soon after its been out? Its been out for less than two years for chrissakes. Its going to take some time to see a noticeable difference between these shots and the bullshots Sony showed us at E3 awhile back. If Metal Gear Solid 4 was an fps, and was being made by a team like Imsoniac who up til now haven't made a realistic looking game pretty much EVER, it would look like this game. And honestly do you guys expect every single texture to be ultra high res? Do you have any idea how long it would take, not to mention talent, to be able to actually do that? No, you don't. Quit your bitching.

I thought we were only comparing the demos? I know that it wouldn't have been the same case for the final version, since it would be on a disc... I was just thinking of a reason why a PC demo which had to be made for multiple DVD's would be bigger than a console demo that was being downloaded directly to an HDD...

Check some other Blu Ray threads and you'll catch onto what he's joking about.

I know right? What size do you guys see FFXIII, MGS4, GT5, and the like to be? Over or Under 15 GBs?

Oh okay I was hoping that was the case.
I'm glad to see the extra space is being put to use at launch. I remeber some folks around here were saying that blu ray would only be taken advantage of at the end of Ps3's life cycle and by then we would be using HVD's or something. :lol
22GB games is a damn good way to limit piracy. Even if people crack the system to run pirated code as well as find a way to rip and burn the media wide internet distribution would be near impossible at any significant amount.
Keeps the eventual mainstream piracy locked down to regions with copy shops and street vendors, i.e. Europe and mainland Asia, where piracy helps move hardware units.
Well played Sony, well played.

If that means they're using a party sytem like Halo 2, then WOW. Resistance seems to be the torch bearer for PS3 this winter, and I think we're shaping up to see lots of "Gears of War vs Resistance" threads.
I know DVD might not be enough space for next gen games, but you really have to wonder what exactly requires 22 GB. Surely you guys aren't making some sort of more GB=more awesome game correlation here?

You guys shouldn't compare this game to Halo. People attack you for that in these parts. Ravenous hungry people, with dead eyes.

But it only has offline coop?
The Insomniac rep specifically attributed it to both "high-res graphics" and "orchestral music". They've talked about putting normal maps on just about everything in PSM coverage and then of course you've got high-res textures and whatever other layered texture effects they might be employing. There's the potential for there to a decent amount of variety in the level design due to mixing various human architectures (where the UK is also a mix of both centuries old and modern architecture) with the Chimeran stuff. 22GB out of the gate is still rather surprising - I wonder if that's a number that reflects anticipated redundancy on disk or is pure asset.squicken said:
By using the PSP as a LocationFree device for the PS3, one could play offline coop remotely, so they game would basically be online. When you got attacked by one of those things that jumps on you, you could shake it off by throwing the PSP against the wall. Visceral!teiresias said:
Hmm, I hadn't taken that into account, but I don't think it's quite that dire just yet. I heard that Insomniac is outsourcing all the music and sound design to a sweatshop in Indonesia (wait till you hear the voice work for the main character!) and they've also stopped stocking the kitchens at Insomniac HQ with groceries. So they'll lose their coveted status as one of America's best employers but at least the industry won't grind to a complete halt due to their exorbitance. At least, for now...

I think that's why he mentioned the 60 levels of elevation. Most (all?) Xbox games only have rankings that go up to 50. It seems as if it's by numbers that they plan to surpass Live. 40 players per game. 60 levels of rank. Etcetera.

Generally, you're correct. But - one of the subtle shifts that this industry is making right now is the move to stronger support for middleware solutions and, yes, outsourced assets. Render 60 levels of trees would be an enormous undertaking if it weren't for solutions like speedtree, etc.

You guys have to stop asking, "what are they doing that's taking up 22GB?", and start asking, "what can they do now that they have up to 25/50GB of space?" The answers become clear (uncompressed audio being the obvious one).

I'm still having a hard time seeing how there will be 22gb of in game assets. The texture work in the screenshots although mostly decent isn't super high res, and there are still some notable mediocre textures. As for audio, well that's a lot of audio, unless they aren't compressing any of the data on disk. Is the game shipping with any special features crap like a making of video etc? That could eat some disk space.

Player level progression sounds awesome...
The way the 50 needles have their own individual tracks knowing how to react and deflect off surfaces...
22GB?! That's absurd... I would think it would be redundant data spammed across the disc... but he gave it real values of music, textures, etc... but but but... Teh-Oblivion-9!!1!!!~ If a launch game is using this much space, and for good reason, perhaps ppl will end up shifting their opinion a lil sooner than thought over the need for a next-gen media eh? Wonder what capacities the other games will be using?
And more in-depth than any Live game so far?! Awesome... Chromehounds is incredible with it's depth... I hope he's right!
And as long as Insomniac puts their gameplay and fun-to-play trademark touches on this game, we may have a serious competitor for the GOTY crown... maybe the king?
I was an Insomniac groupie before... but now... wow... Can't wait for this game...

So, assuming the game will cost $70 how much do you guys think it'll need to sell for them to break even?
