Unreal Tournament Creators: We need Blu-ray, Xbox 360’s DVD not enough
By Danny Mendez
Epic’s Mark Rein discussed the 360’s limited disc capacity in regards to Unreal Tournament III at the Edinburgh Interactive Festival: ”We’ll compress some things. But you know, we may have fewer maps on the 360 version… Blu-Ray has definitely given us a lot of legroom.”
Computer and Video Games suggests Epic should provide two DVDs for UTIII on the Xbox 360, one for the multiplayer experience and one for the single-player game.
This comes after Bizarre Creations, the creators of Project Gotham Racing 4, announced the 360’s DVD storage limits will lead to cut backs on the 360 version of the game.
Epic seems to love the data capacity of Blu-ray disc. “If you think down the road, well maybe the next UT beyond this one, on Blu-Ray disc, we might fill the whole damn disc with all the cool stuff the mod makers make.”
Many have criticized Sony for incorporating too much technology into the Playstation 3, but we may soon start the see the advantages of playing on the PS3 as opposed to the Xbox 360.

Bizarre Creations never said that. It was a random poster on their forum. They have since posted a picture of the different night and day images from the game to proove that the disk capacity is not a problem.
Get your facts strait please.
As for 1 disk for multiplayer and 1 disk for single player… wow big deal. I’ll have to leave my couch!!

YOU might not have a problem, but you cant speak for everyone else plus extra disks costs money and game companies are no exception to money gouging. So that extra few bucks it makes to make the 2nd dvd + packaging might cost an extra $15 in MSRP pricing for the consumer.

I knew Xbox 360 was doomed be it launch. PS3 is the only true high tech video game supercomputer. Blu ray Disc can fit like 5 Xbox 360 games. Unreal Tournament III is gonna suck on the Xbox 360 lol at xbox owner for being idiots………..
