iBuzz7S Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 "It's two discs on 360 and one on PS3," AC3 creative director Alex Hutchinson told NowGamer. "You'd be surprised what blows the disc. Sound blows the disc, but also videos. What was scary for us was we blew the disc with no... there's only like two videos in the game, the rest is in-game cut-scenes. We were like 'we're still blowing the disc? That's terrifying.' It's by far the biggest game I've worked on." Exact details on how the content id divided is unclear, but constantly changing discs won't be an issue. "Don't worry, there's not going to be like, disc-swapping if you get to the end of chapter 3 and having to swap over - that's not going to happen. We've separated it," added animation director Jonathan Cooper. Pressed on whether Assassin's Creed 3 simply comprises a one-time disc-swap half-way through the game, Cooper added: "No, it's not even that. We won't talk about how it's done... but don't worry about it, you won't be jumping back and forth." Don't interrupt me mid-game and you can have your disc swap message wherever you like.

DEG23 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Going on the statement "will it be a one time swap?" "No not even that." I'm going to suggest single disc and an MP disc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to suggest single disc and an MP disc? on the AC forums it was said 1 is SP and 1 is MP but u can simply install the 2nd disc and just use the 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoosMakhina Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 on the AC forums it was said 1 is SP and 1 is MP but u can simply install the 2nd disc and just use the 1That'd be amazing, considering that's always been the best solution yet no game I can recall has done it that way. I'm optimistic they actually might have with this though considering they've completely scrapped DRM in the PC version. As for the game being multiple discs: couldn't give a rat's ass. If it means more content then i'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds positive to me. We will see. Same. If the disc swap comes at a logical point in the game, I don't care. Multiple discs to me means mostly that the textures and world map must be absofuckinglutely awesomely HUGE. And that.... I dig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aclover Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Yeah it's probably just gonna be one MP and one SP like Battlefield 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LickableLemons7 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 At least it's not shipping with 3 discs...like Rage... Many 360 games are now shipped with 2 discs. Dead Space 2, Max Payne 3, Battlefield 3, Halo 4, so no surprise here. The heftier the game, the more time I spend on it. And that's good for me.

Stefan61713 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Well, more discs means more content aye? I'm cool with it, I mean, LA Noire had 3 discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm cool with it, I mean, LA Noire had 3 discs. You guys see it as more content, me, I see it as being obsolete and unoptimized. It's like saying "Twenty 1GB portable hard drives? Cool" instead of going for one high capacity portable hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the choice is more discs or a stripped down game so it fits on the one disc you'd be mad to prefer the later over the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't because I didn't want to bring up the Blu-ray Disc and the poor choice of staying with a previous generation medium where they could have used the HD-DVD format and kept DVD compatibility.

jules the great Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 i actually pre ordered for the PS3 and Im happy its only one disc. However, seeing as how the xbox version will ALWAYS load faster, I'd say its an even trade off. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barad Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I'm fine with 2 discs, MP/SP disc I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koldomordor Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I fail to see a problem here... you need like 10 seconds to change the disc. -Greetings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnout x360a Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 One thing that annoyed me with Revelations was whenever you went into MP (Or Desmond's Journey) the disc would start spinning up again, not the end of the world but it makes installing to the HD less beneficial. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing happens in MW3. They have separate teams working on the different parts (campaign, multiplayer) and then they just burn both parts on to the disc as separate "programs" linked to a main menu. So every time you start one, the disc spins cuz it thinks it's "starting" a new game. Better programming would've been to move that detection phase to the initial menu.

Guildclaws Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Thats it. Immersion broken. Pre order cancelled. Are you serious? there's no disc swapping in this game since Disc 1 is SP and disc 2 is MP even if there were changing the disc only takes like 5 second.

ll Mr Bubbles ll Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Forza did the same thing , disc 2 contained a lot of the cars and tracks you just installed disc 2 and played to your hearts content with just the 1st disc no need t change at all.
