Rumor: XBLA new size limit 250MB (or more)? |
Ó
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night might not be the last, after all. Citing anonymous sources wishing to remain anonymous, 1UP says that Microsoft is going to lift the imposed 50MB size limit for Xbox Live Arcade games, setting the new cap at 250MB (or at Level 70 in Warcraft terms).The cap could even go as high as 450MB if Microsoft wants, says 1UP. We're saying that better be one hell of an Arcade game at 450MB - so much that we've overridden the autobleeper just to say "hell."
Oh, and Microsoft says "No comment" again. Figures.
1UP noted that boosting the cap would be very useful in putting to bed one nasty thing of late 2006 - microtransactions. Part of the reason why Lumines Live! came in pieces was because of the 50MB limit. Heck, all we can say is that while we appreciate the minimalism of "small" XBLA games (and Doom did fit within 50MB, did it?) sometimes you just need bigger size limits.
Compounding this rumor is yet another rumor: EBGames shipping an equally-beefed up 256MB memory card on March 1. (EBGame/Stop again? Let's see if this page will stick around in a couple of months.) This rumor's already busting at the seams. If Microsoft still has no comment, our bet is that the nearest thing we can get to a confirmation is the development of an XBLA game that looks like it won't fit inside of 50MB.

*****ing hell (y)
If the people want it, they will give it to them. The only reason they wanted them under 50mb was so people without harddrives would be able to put an arcade game on their 64mb memory stick and have some room for savegames. I think they realized no one actually does this, and the vast majority of people playing arcade games have harddrives....
The PS3 has a 500-550 MB limit for their downloaded games...WTF MS, just add some more space to compete.
Yeah, but microsoft doesn't need that much space to bring great games to XBLA many games that are awesome have come under the 25mb mark!
Going to high will kill the who meaning of the word ARCADE games M$ ar doing the right thing.
I agree M$ have it right,going to high in MB will indeed kill the who meaning of Arcade.And comparing it to PS3 online !!!well if anything this again shows that M$ should stick to what they are doing.
