RE: Microsoft to stick with DVD for next gen console
I'll be going with the PS3, look at Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. This has a new type of texturing, geotexturing, this allows walls and floors and any other thing to be 3D rather than the 2D walls we're all used to seeing in video games, I find it rather annoying that these days walls are still 2D. With the process of geotexturing takes not much longer, as far as I know, than the old 2D way.
Anyway as other People have said, 12 years ago the average HDD wasn't even 8.8GB, but now games like GTA: SA take up all that room, GTA: SA only took two years to make, the same as any other decent game,  whether it was 12 years ago or now. Texturing methods get better and faster, the ways of making the images get better and faster. Computers get better and faster.
It's a rapidly changing world, the way games are made changes, but the time it takes to make a good game hasn't changed all that much. So by the time the PS3 comes out there will have been many more advances in graphic producing, I'm sure, making it faster to make things than before. See my point?
