Epic vice president applauds extra "legroom" on PS3's discs
During a session at the Edinburgh Interactive Festival, Mark Rein, vice president of Epic Games, has expressed his appreciation for the extra storage space on Blu-ray discs over the standard DVD format.
Speaking on the forthcoming Unreal Tournament 3 title, which will be released on the PlayStation 3 before the Xbox 360, he warned that "we may have fewer maps on the 360 versionā¦Blu-Ray has definitely given us a lot of legroom."
He went on to add: "If you think down the road, well maybe the next UT beyond this one, on Blu-ray disc, we might fill the whole damn disc with all the cool stuff the mod makers make."
Epic Games' most notable title to date other than the Unreal franchise, is the Xbox 360-exclusive Gears of War.
