In a Konami retailers meeting yesterday, it was exposed that the game would be produced on a 50GB Blu-ray disc.
Ryan Patyon announced on the Kojima Report Podcast that US/European copies of MGS4 would not contain a Japanese voiceover and visa versa:
Unfortunately because of disc space, we don't have the space to include other languages, other voice over files for the respective versions.
So the Japanese version's not gonna have English voiceover, and the North American and European versions won't have Japanese voiceover.
Many presumed that Kojima decided to go with a 25gb Blu-ray disc to save on costs, but it was yesterday revealed in a Konami retailers meeting that the game is the biggest of the series, and will be presented on a 50GB disc.
What's taking up so much space we can only imagine. There will be hours of high-quality surround sound, and perhaps HD movies even though previous series had cutscenes rendered in real-time. How much space is taken up by game assets is unknown, but the release of MGS4 might be the greatest production of double-layer Blu-ray discs in the formats short history.SOURCEMGS4 Confirmed 50GB Blu-ray
if it wasn't for all the uncompressed losless audio it would easily fit on one dvd9, maybe 2.MGS4 Confirmed 50GB Blu-ray
so much space for such a graphically crappy game? dayyyummmm, kojima probably has duplicated data to speed up the loading in the game...amirite?
Welcome to last months news!
This is super old but yeah cant wait for MGS4,might be the only game i buy for my PS3 this year.
so hopefully it will be longer than 10hrs
This is a good idea to max out a 50gb disc. One strong positive I can see is that it will severly hinder pirates. Imagine having to download a 50gb disc? Dear Lord.

Considering they are using uncompressed 7.1 audio, I'm hardly suprised.

I don't see the point of uncompressed audio :(Still getting this though since its in the same month as my birthday.

:roll: You go ahead and keep thinking that...[/QUOTE]ok then what else in the game can take so much space?

:roll: You go ahead and keep thinking that...[/QUOTE]kolima has said it will use 7.1 losless audio which takes up a lot of space. that's fact. what else do you think they're using all the space for? good graphics can be done with little space, all the cut scenes are rendered in real time (cgi is what takes up a lot of apace), the game will be 10-15 hours (if that), so explain to me what is going to take up that much space.

[/QUOTE]thats it? pirates? thats your main concern?all this talk, all this hype about b-ray, this game better get a 110 score or 11 or AA++, if not then whats the point in spending so much time and money just to fill a disk, I can't imagine developers going overboard just to make a game so they can boast that it will fill a B-ray disk, when the same developers can make a nice simple game on the DS and make just as much money.I have no doubt that this game will deliver, but just get the game done and stop with all the technical talk already.:D
It's true most of the space is audio but fanboys act like it's a bad thing :? it's irrelevant to the gaming experience its not like they cut out parts of the game for audio. They cut JP language big deal
