L.A. Noire may need Three Discs when come to Xbox 360

(Posted by http://mimigame.vn/ )

According to Rockstar, upcoming open-world crime game L.A. Noire will ship on discs for the Xbox 360.

"L.A. Noire was always going to be a giant game, from the size and detail of the world to the length of the cases, and naturally, the sheer amount of MotionScan information necessary for the faces of over 400 actors in-game," Jeronimo Barrera of Rockstar told Kotaku, "To tell the story and make the game they desired to make, they knew that it was going to take a complete single layer Blu-ray disc and Xbox discs."

In case you think you'll constantly be getting off your couch a hundred times to switch discs, Rockstar says that you will only must swap out DVDs six times, and they happen at "natural breaks between cases."

"Since the game is built around the idea of progressing through individual cases from table to table, players on Xbox will find disc-swapping is hassle-free," Barrera said.

While Nikole "Zipper" Zivalich says he hates switching discs, I feel it is a nostalgic trip back in time to my youth of playing PC games, some of which came on like 8 floppies that had to be switched constantly. What do you think?

Before you start imagining that L.A. Noire will be times as long as Rockstar's single-disc Grand Theft Auto four or Red Dead Redemption, keep in mind: of the main features of Noire is the facial-video expertise. Fundamentally, the cut scenes are supposed to be more detailed than any other game I have ever heard of, and that, no doubt, will take a whole of disc space. Speaking of disc space, that Blu-Ray on the PS3 is seeming useful right about now, eh?
