Despite Microsoft testing out a new disc format, its currently stuck with the old 9 GB a pop DVDs and that can only mean one thing for ambitious titles that tend to bring entire cities and possibly hundreds of thousands of virtual people to life. PlayStation 3 exclusivity, zing! Or they can just go the multi-disc round, like LA Noire is. "Please insert the next game disc to continue".
According to Rockstar's Jeronimo Barrera, "L.A. Noire was always going to be a massive game, from the size and detail of the world to the length of the cases, and of course, the sheer amount of MotionScan data required for the faces of over 400 actors in-game".
H also promises that "since the game is built around the concept of progressing through individual cases from desk to desk, players on Xbox will find disc-swapping in hassle-free. In fact, players will only need to swap discs twice at natural breaks between cases without interrupting the flow of the game".
That said, having seen the trailers, they can dring it out on cassette tape for all we care, as long as its on time.
