ES IV: Oblivion will fit on one disc

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, the highly anticipated RPG from Bethesda Game Studios, was earlier rumored to take up to 4 discs, confirming fears that the Xbox 360's DVD-9 format was incapable of handling the massive size of many next-gen titles. Well, fear not! A Bethesda Developer, "MrSmileyFaceDude" responded to the rumor succinctly saying, "No, the game will be on one disk." If they can fit a game of this size on the DVD-9 format, I doubt we'll encounter too many games demanding more.

Look for the massive title to take away all your free time this March.

1. It's clear that Unreal 3 engine has several optimizations that allow for a huge improvement in graphics while keeping asset sizes smaller.

2. I said from day 1 if Oblivion can ship on one disc, Sony's Blu-Ray will do nothing but add cost. It's total overkill for this generation. Plus, have you seen the pricing announcements at E3 on Blu-Ray DVD players?? $1800 for a Pioneer unit coming out in May! How can Sony undermine this by releasing a Blu-Ray system for $399-499? Unless the PS3 will not play movies out of the box. Which again goes back to the unecessary cost.
