DVD\'s are fine for this generation

Those games are few and far between,

Not according to developers.

so it\'s a non-issue unless developers start gobbling up space with hi-def images moving forward.
 
Which could happen.

It will just like every generation

Parkinson\'s Law

"Parkinson\'s Law" could be more generalized still as: "The demand upon a resource always expands to match the supply of the resource.

This is an old law, and one of the most *true*.

From personal experience, when I had a 2 GB HDD, It was full, then 40.  then 300, now 1400, always full.

*edit*

Most coherent drunken post ever.  I\'m the worlds best drunken typer.  I didn\'t even have to read the first three pages to own this thread.

I\'m more curious on the cost to make something HI-def, if it is costly, then yes, big developers will be able, but the smaller ones won\'t. And hell, will big developers even bother when a lot of people still own standard TV\'s?



How about cut down on the damn CG? It\'s a game, not a movie.



Yes! More CG! More realistic CG! I mean, come on, if they cut down on the unnessarcy CG, then there is plenty of space.

Infact, CG should be banned from games, just like FMV should of been banned in the 90\'s.

amen!

games are not movies?

never played dragon\'s lair?

Own a copy.
It sucked.

Move along.

Sorry, but it did, along with Space Ace.

Still, I guess I\'m old school in the sense that I don\'t want CG, any cutscenes should be done real time and I don\'t want voice acting. Anything said, should be text based, so that I can imagine what the characters sound like. Only a handful of games have got voice acting right, in my opinion.

Personally, I think it would be great if the visuals were text-based too, so I can use my IMAGINATION instead of some pre-thought out nonsense some well-paid designer cooked up.

It\'s my mind, just let me live.

i like the way max payne did it

i think we need voice acting...it\'s actually gotten better over the years, but it all depends on the talent..the text based stuff still works for some games...mostly rpg\'s, but i\'d prefer voice acting over text if i had a choice,..as far as cgi goes, i think graphics are strong enough to use ingame graphics at this point and that cgi stuff is not really good,..tho i still am very much impressed with what the big companies like capcom(onimusha 3) and square(ff) can do with them...

Not saying I\'m a videophile (just enthusiast), but I can definitely tell 720p from 1080i/p.

1080i vs. p is noticable when the content is moving, and it really bugs me.  I hope 1080i is the LAST resolution that will ever be interlaced.  It\'s the 21st century and it\'s sad we still have to put up with it.

You have an eye for it but I\'m willing to bet the average person would be hard pressed to see a difference. Don\'t get me wrong, I always want the best that the picture can be. I\'m talking about the general public.

Whoa!!!!

clowd, Dead or Alive has ALOT of CG cutscenes.  The final Dead or Alive 4 game came in around 5 GB last I read.  

uni, those quotes are old.  Encant Arms came on one DVD...with several hours of cg.

I\'m with LICky.  CG is lame.

CG is a cop out. Nothing more. Somewhere during the 32 bit generation developers decided they wanted to be filmmakers and we got all this crap-ass CG and storytelling.

CG needs more boobie.

ala god of war.  (Which in my opinion doesn\'t really benefit from the cutscenes)
