It's becoming more and more common for Xbox 360 games to arrive on multiple discs, especially RPGs with cutscenes o' plenty--Final Fantasy XII, Lost Odyssey. id Software's said their open world shooter Rage will be distributed across two discs on Microsoft's platform. Rockstar Games is the latest to join the multiple disc club with L.A. Noire, as Kotaku reports it cover three discs on Xbox 360 later this month.
"To tell the story and make the game we wanted to make, we knew that it was going to take an entire single layer Blu-ray disc and three Xbox discs," said Rockstar VP of development Jeronimo Barrera.
Rockstar pointed to the game's heavily promoted MotionScan tech, responsible for making the facial expressions of the game's characters so unlike anything we've seen before, as consuming the space.
