Games in DVD Format

ok, so ive been hearing this for a long time that games will soon be on dvds. and if there isnt, then game developers should really start thinking about it very soon because i dont know about you but im getting very annoyed with the getting a new game and it takes 4 or 5 cds to install it when you only really need 1 dvd to do the same job. besides just about every one that owns a computer now has a dvd player that would play the games. im hoping doom3 and hl2 will be on a dvd format. what do you think?

i think Farcry is on DVD but not in the US. Metal Gear Solid (some sequel) was on DVD for PC but nobody bought it because it was way too linear and boring.

I would love to see games on DVD I think it would make playing & installing them much or convenient. Like BloodRaven said most people who play PC games are going to have a DVD player, they are pretty much standard on PC's today

Just my .02

Many new multi-CD games are on DVD format... But there is always a CD version too. This is probably the way it will be for the next year or two while developers make the shift from CD to DVD.

All my PS2 games are on DVD.....

One game I wish would have come on a DVD would be XIII. Came with 4 disks and as you progress through the game you need to switch out cd's.

Something I like to do with games I buy is use a no-cd patch. Even though I own the real CD, I'd rather not bother with digging through my software for the other CDs.

I have also used no-CD patches on many games that required the cd to play but XIII was the only game that had problems when I did. Textures in levels would be missing and all characters were completely black(no skins). The game never crashed from it which I did think was kind of wierd. There may be more working no-CD patches out for the game now but when I first got the game I only found one and it really made the game unplayable.

DeusEx2:Invisible War comes on DVD.
I think all games that come on 2 or more CDs should be on DVD. I mean the price we pay for them, and the price of DVDs now, even though the industrial process of producing DVDs isn't quite the same as us burning DVD-Rs at home it can't be that expense anymore.

At least UT2k4 comes in a DVD edition.

It's either that, or 6 cd's, so I guess they had no choice.
But alas they were sold out for DVD's when I bought mine

so it seems that every one agrees, we need more dvd format games!

I wish KOTOR would have come on DVD.

FarCry in Europe is only available in DVD format if I'm not mistaken.

My unreal tornament 2004 is in DVD format, just one disk, isnt it somthing like 5 disks in america? its a big game, 5 gigs of hard drive space it needs.

who cares about ps2 or xbox anyways, we are talking about computers REAL here...

No, actually we're talking about putting GAMES on DVDs. Anyways, Xboxes are so much like computers they might as well be included.

What's also nice on DVDs is Collector Edition of certain games like Baldur's Gate 2.

Morrowind has a collector edition containing the original game, the editor & the two extensions. I do believe it's still in CD format.:dead:

ok xbox is suck a Disgrace its name should not even be spoken. i mean come on if your going to buy an xbox why not get an extra hundred bucks and get a computer. but yeah if you want to be a true gamer, stick to the pc games. and buy them on dvd format
