The most impressive game on 1 disk (360)

davewhite04 · 16 Jul 2011 at 12:51

Might sound like an odd thread title but after just finishing Red Dead Redemption on the 360, while doing tons of side quests as I went I still have over 20% of the game to go!

Technically this game is astonishing imo(superior to GTA series imo). The world and all of it's various land types, the weather effects and sun sets etc. are just so amazing. The attention to detail is brilliant. The graphics generally are brilliant(superior to Fallout or Oblivion imo).

All the voice work, there's just so much stuff I haven't mentioned!

I just can't get my head around the fact that they crammed so much stuff on to 1 360 disk(as well as the fact that the 360 or the PS3 for that matter can run games of this quality).

What do you think is the most impressive 360 title that has come on 1 disk?

(it boggles my mind the size and quality of games that will be possible in the next generation of consoles)

Well it's because the game world is mostly completely open landscapes isn't it

There is obviously a lot of open landscape because of the type of game it is

It has different types of land the further you get into the game, such as forests, mountains etc.

The world feels so alive, it is like being in a movie ie being there, which illustrates the details that exist in even the open landscapes.

Every metre you ride is completely different.

Astonishing, the attention of detail and Rockstar's ability to make a world come alive.

EDIT:

Did you want to add a game that has impressed you the most?

i found it immensely boring and i usually love wide open games. It just didnt hold my attention for some reason.

The thread isn't about Red Dead Redemption, it's about the game that you find most impressive that only came on one disk!

Weirdly most people seem to say the opposite.

The Orange Box is clearly the correct title you meant to say.

Indeed.

Hopefully get one interesting reply, as I'd like to give the game a try if I haven't already

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

I agree with Red Dead. I also think GTA IV and Mass Effect 1 were pretty impressive for one-disc games.

As mentioned above The Orange Box was great value for money and hard to believe they put it all on one DVD.

Nymins · 16 Jul 2011 at 15:04

I'd say The Orange Box.

Considering the install size is like 4.7Gb as well, its pretty impressive.

Noel Gallagher · 16 Jul 2011 at 15:31

+1 for Orange Box. Forgot about that beauty..

Fallout 3.

5punk3monk3y · 16 Jul 2011 at 16:25

Just Cause and Just Cause 2 are fairly impressive also.

But on the opposite side of the spectrum the biggest wastes of media I have seen so far is Naughty Bear weighing in at a massive 600MB released as a premium title with a premium price tag when the game should have been a live download with a low MS point value to go with it.

The Game of the Year edition has an obscene amount of content so that's a good call.

I thought the DLC was on a separate disc?

5punk3monk3y · 16 Jul 2011 at 18:05

They would not re-master to put the DLC on the disc as that would be un-cost effective.

If you mean Fallout 3 then they did with the PS3 version, and that comes on BD-ROMs which are bound to cost more than DVD-ROMs.
