LostStraw Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 Based on 60 votes!?! Not sure those stats are very accurate. Remember that they sold millions of copies around the world. Just because I want it to come out on DVD doesn't mean I wont buy it if it only comes out on CDs. You're right though, those stats are probably fairly inacurate considering the small and most likely biased sample.
MetallicFalcon Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 Like i said, some one needs to contact some 1 from lucas arts to see if they can consider this option.
Synaesthesia Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 I'd prefer DVD. I'd actually import the game, rather than buy a local copy, if I could get it on DVD.
DarthShad Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 It really doesn't matter me. I own a DVD drive, so I won't mind. Regarding the disc swapping, well you just have to do that once, when you install the game, so I really don't find this to be a problem.
Weiser_Cain Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 I like the idea of sticking a disk in and walking away from my computer. Yaw devs, Yaw!!! (
bigbrotheriswatching Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 52 - 17 That means you would set aside 1/3 of the potential customers. <_< ( And i'm not getting into arguments about the small size of the sample and the location of the poll.)
kefka Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 52 - 17 That means you would set aside 1/3 of the potential customers. <_< That 1/3 of potential customers would soon accept DVD if they had no other choice. Is the majority always going to be held hostage by a small minority?
EnderAndrew Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 Not to mention that they could see two different boxes. One full sized box for those who like to buy the game traditionally on CD, and a DVD-sized box for the DVD release.
Darque Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 I voted CDs. While I have a DVD drive (2 in fact) a lot of people still have only CD drives.
EnderAndrew Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 If you never release media on DVD's, people will never switch over.
nightcleaver Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 I like the theory that the switch will be made gradually to DVD when most games take up 4 or 5 cds. You don't need a dvd for a one or two cd game. I think we're close to that point.

MetallicFalcon Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 I have a dvd drive, but even if i didnt i would get 1 to play this game. So would every 1 else that enjoyed SW knights 2. We need to start the switching over to dvd. new age...new toys...

EnderAndrew Posted July 1, 2004 Posted July 1, 2004 DVD drives have been around for what, 7 years? And DVD drives are down to $35. How much longer should you have to wait? There is no reason NOT to release the game on both formats.
bigbrotheriswatching Posted July 1, 2004 Posted July 1, 2004 It's not about my $$$ it's about LA's $$$. I don't have anything against DVDs. Just read my post. They will do so if the market is ready but they won't if it's not... I'll be happy if it'S released on both versions but I don't feel it's a necessity (DVDs are just slightly more confortable to install: you have to extend your arm only once to place a sinlge DVD in the DVD drive instead of extending it 4 or 5 times to change four or five CDs. If you want medical advise, then I'll tell you that the risk of developping a tendinitis is definitely reduced with DVDs...)
EnderAndrew Posted July 1, 2004 Posted July 1, 2004 However, NWN nights was on several CD's. Wizardy was on several CD's. Dungeon Siege was on several CD's. When floppies were the thing, developers only put as much content in the game as they could cram on a number of floppies. Content was actual minimized due to media storage. Eventually, that wasn't an issue with CD-ROMs. And now we're getting to the point where only so much content can fit on two CD's. By jumping to DVD-ROM's, you can fit considerably more on one or two discs. It opens up much more growth potential.
XeroKai Posted July 1, 2004 Posted July 1, 2004 I pitty a person without a dvd drive in their comp. After all, Dvd-r drives have been standard in even the crappiest computers (e-machiene anyone?) for atleast six months, probably more. Thus if you dont have a dvd-r in your computer you probably wont have the minimum system specs for KOTOR 2 anyway.

Thank God those days are over...
