While claims that the Xbox 360’s DVD format is too small are becoming, you rarely hear of a developer pushing the boundaries of Blu-ray. And yet Codemasters is doing exactly that. Apparently the publisher’s upcoming Fuel - an open-world racer redolent of Mad Max - would exhaust four Blu-ray discs if it were created using quot;traditionalquot; methods. That’s according to Executive Producer David Brickley, speaking to a href=”http://www.videogamer.com/news/25-09-2008-9464.html”Videogamer.com/a br /quot;In the context of that map, which is one small corner of it, when the guys showed us this technology, if you were to build it in a traditional manner it would fill about four Blu-rays,quot; he said. quot;A gargantuan amount of data, just enormous. The challenge for us was to say can we come up with a race experience generated according to an algorithmic rule set, procedural generation, which is of a standard that is indistinguishable from one that’s been done by hand?quot; br /To put the figure in context, Brickley likened the world of Fuel to that of Burnout Paradise. quot;I did a little Power Point internally to do it and it zoomed them in to each other,quot; he said. quot;It’s like a little postage stamp because I think it does like four kilometres or something.quot; Fuel is reported to be 5,000 miles in scope. br /The game is being developed by Asobo, and is due out on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC in Q2 2009.
