Wouldn't surprise. How many tracks are there now in 2 if you take into account the variations? About 30? 12 full tracks is it?

100 tracks would mean a big increase.

They include the variations as 'tracks' though, plus if you add in the new modes then there might only be the same amount of separate tracks in Forza 1.
Still I'd rather have all the tracks to begin with rather than have to wait months and months (and months!) for DL content!

It's a bit old hat to be honest mate - but with the fall dash update you get the option to copy the whole game over to your hdd to speed up load times. Some games have already been HDD only so this may be another (Football Manager has 70mb save games hence hdd only)

Football manager was a big exception to the rule though (In true MS style, after stating there would be no HDD only games, out comes one a few weeks after launch )

I doubt they will ever do that again.

Multi disc games for 360 were an inevitability given the storage limitations of DVD - Its a bit like a moores law thing, we go up by a factor of ten every 10 years or so in terms of file sizes.

Shame they keep filling them up with cut-scenes and fancy graphics rather than better gameplay though...

Well thats the old CD/DVD argument. Of course a disc full of FMV is pretty redundant - But you have games like , say, something like Lost Oddessy, which came on 4 discs.

There's nothing inherently wrong with multi disc games, so long as thought is put into how the swapping takes place.

Very true.

At least making people swap disks will give all those fat kids some exercise

Have they even said they are making one ? I've no doubt they are, but nothing official from MS or Turn10 has been announced on a sequel.

I'd certainly take that pic with a pinch of salt.

LOL at you lot

2 disks and your posting on SN, EEK



FFVII had 4 disks on the PS2 and everybody loved it (me inc)

personally i,m pleased, you look at the data burned onto some of the "latest"

"huge" releases, and its not even half a DVD

hope it does well
