Another potential Far Cry or Half Life?

hahaha

DVD and CD are practically the same mate, they just have different sizes of information to hold. A game might come on both 5 CD and 1 DVD versions, but they'll be exactly the same. DVD makes no difference to the quality of a game.

DVD Rom on the PC, you plum.

What a ridiculous second example btw, I don't what you’re talking about but I know you’re talking out of your proverbial.

Jesus Christ, newbies such as yourself do not have a clue.

'K, but lets see if the vast open ended gameplay, and the incredible view distances remain intact.

You could argue but you'd be wrong.

Farcry on the xbox is a completly different game they have changed loads of the gameplay.

HAHAHA
You're a bit thick, mate.
All Xbox games come on DVD, so that must mean every. single. title. is a "top game".

Oh, and as for this logic:

I can do something similar.

A black man murdered someone.
So he's a criminal.

One criminal, black skin, so all people with black skin must be murderers.
"Pretty obvious really"

Tsk, graphics ho's...

You could also argue that Far Cry has been 'expanded' rather than 'cut-down'.

That was awful. It didn't even have co-op.

They could have at least changed the grass, rock and sand textures to something better than blobs.

Sorry, that's utter balls. Look back at the advent of CD-Rom software. Was a game that came on 4 cd's better than a game that came on 1?

Not a chance.

[edit]Although Wing Commander 4 rocked, but I'd argue that by dropping the dodgy FMV, it could be squeezed onto 1 disk.

Same principal here. It's the quality of a title that counts, not the amount of space it takes up.

To suggest that because a game comes on DVD rom might somehow be a grade A title, is rubbish. It might just have a lot of poorly designed, repetative levels.

You're trying to dig yourself out of a hole now.
