Is MGS2 gonna be on DVD ? It should be ! Why ? heres why !

Hey unknown, I\'ve had very little time this week
because of my study. Yesterday I had some time :
so it was easier to pick up the MGS2 demo, with the
familiar controls then to start from scratch with ZOE.
I\'m gonna play it this evening or tomorrow though.

10x /   (13.21 MB/s) /     90x      
16x /   (21.13 MB/s) /     144x    

So Basically this means that the 4x DVD drive on the ps2 is equivilent to a 36x CD-rom drive.  So yes, games on DVD can and will load faster.

I stand corrected....thanks

Dammit, you beat me to it. DVDs spins way faster than than CDs.

BTW, How do you guys figure that loading times will disappear on the PS2? I know developers will get a better sense of the hardware but games will also be getting a lot larger. Wouldn\'t that put more strain on the VRAM? I know it is streaming but still. If anythin the load times will be about the same.

IMHO

I think it will be on DVD sure.

[Evi]

What\'s with people and VRAM when they know jack-crap about it? Did someone get a master\'s degree in the University of VRAM? Sorry for being so mean................ I\'ve always wondered about the DVD speeds compared to the CD speeds...thanks for the info...
