Exactly and addtionally SE can further compress the 6.8gb used for the game, there is absolutely no need to compress ps3 games but that is almost unheard of elsewhere. SE would keep it at 1080p im sure, if need be im sure it is the audio which would be made lower quality.Akuma147 said:Final Fantasy Advent Children Blu-ray was on a 50gb Blu-ray disc (Not to mention numerous extras and a 1080p animated episode), so let's assume the main movie is 30-40Gb, maybe smaller.
A blu-ray rip was posted on the internet by a well-known anime group/person named Thora.
He released a 1080p version at 11Gb and a 720p version at 6.5Gb, both with DTS 5.1 and were compressed using the x264 codec. These blu-ray rips look awesome and are very comparable to the original Blu-ray.
Square-Enix says they have 3 Dual-layer DVDs to work with, so that means about 8Gb X 3 = 24Gb. If 6.8Gb is used for the game, then we still have 17.2Gb of space for videos. Now, let's assume that Square-Enix compresses the 32Gb videos to 720p. If Thora was able to compress a 30-40Gb Blu-ray at 720p to 6.5Gb (with comparable quality to the original blu-ray), I'm pretty sure Square-Enix can compress that 32Gb to at most 17.2Gb, which would be more than enough to compare to the original source. So I have no doubts that the Xbox version would have very comparable video quality to the PS3 version.
I havent tested it but there is a complete version of GTA: SA on the internet compressed to 64kb, ofcourse it does take several hours to decompress but that is still incredible. Im also not entirely sure but i believe the 700mb file is just the installation file, the real game is apparently 4.3gb when installed. Im not sure if the 64kb version works, there is also a 1mb version which a few people have said works. Compression can go a lot further than you think.
