Shemue 2 is 7 discs
 

wow, can't wait for this game to come to the US

7 GD-Roms! Wow. Must be huge.

I've heard that there will be a LE edition that is 6 discs, 4 for the game, 1 a VF4 LE fandisc, and a music cd. This is of course only what I've heard through the grapevine. What is not a rumor is that Shenmue II will not have english dialogue, so if ya can't read time to get hooked on phonics.

What I mean to say, is that there won't be an english dub, only english subtitles.

What would you need 7 discs for a game?! O_o

Back in my day, all we had was 64kb, and the games were good dammit! </end old man rant>

Well, Wing Commander 4 was 12 CD-ROM discs, if I recall correctly.....

Fanboy: Easy pixyboi, or we'll put you in a home.
Pixyboi: You already put me in a home!
Fanboy: Well then, we'll put you in that crooked home we saw on 60 Minutes.
Pixyboi: I'll be good.

Off by a factor of 2. But still obscene for the time.

I know for sure that Phantasmagoria was 7 discs, but I'm sure that something else was larger..... I never played WC4 (I have WC3, but never finished it), so I didn't know for sure.

I'm pretty sure the X-Files PC Game was 8 discs.

Hm... I remember having to load 12 5 1/4" floppy discs to play the "cutting edge" games not too long ago. Looks like we might be in for a media change of some sort if games are taking this many CDs now.

4 GB, is that like the largest game size ever?

hey i finishted that x-files game, man the load times were horrible though. if I wasn't such an x-files fan, I'd probably stop playing it after the 1st 1/2 hour because it was so slow. hehe

Wing Commander 4 was at most 7 discs, and X-Files, I believe is 6.

Nope

X-Files is 7. I had to dig it out cause I thought it was 8 as well. The only way to play the game is to do a full install of all 7 discs. :D Did it when I first got it and it ran sooo well. :) took most of my hard drive at the time but was well worth it.

:O Wow, how much is the budget for this game?
I enjoyed the original, but never took the time to finish it. Heh
Subtitles are fine for me. I prefer them anyways. Dubs make me cringe! ;)

Let me guess, disc 1-3 are boring jobs that you don't get real-life money for, discs 2-4 are outdated, boring sega genesis games that you wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole except they're "inside another game, so they're so cool," discs 5-6 are full of poor voice acting and creepy children, and disc 7 is reserved for just general sucking.

Maybe they'll release a super-special edition with some actual gameplay. But don't hold your breath.

(A cookie for anyone who can guess my opinion of Shenmue 1... ;))

"that's all we had and we liked it!"

I don't know about you, but i cant wait for a 2 disc version of BOUNCER for PS2.. i mean, then.. maybe we can have more then 10 seconds of game play before we have to sit through load time.. a movie... load time...character stats...load time... fight four guys... then load time.. a movie... load time..etc. etc. ;)

7 discs! That'll take a whole night to download. :)

Thats what DVD-ROM is for- but they haven't really started taking advantage of it for gaming purposes yet.

Click "log in" and enter your username and password. Wham, you've got a cookie.

I don't know the flavor of the cookie, but this joke is definitely a bit cheesy...

I wonder how much memory this game is gonna take. ;)
