It was recently reported that PGR4 was hampered by the limited capacity of the DVD used on the 360. This was picked up by Sony to vindicate its position with regards to the Blu Ray choice. Bizarre have now refuted these rumours and say they are in no way hampered by the DVD and the choice of Day and Night was theirs and not any DVD restrictions.

RE: Rumors of PGR 4 being limited by DVD are falseI've been following this story from the beginning, I had originally posted that PGR4 was limited by dvd and I still completely believe that. Bizarre said it themselves and then tried to cover it up after the reaction from the press & gamers. They probably got a warning from MS. Kotaku said this themselves, and that Bizarre was just spinning the story around.[ Oracle ] [ Level 26 ] [ Rank: 241 ]bids

This would not be the first time a developer spoke out of turn or was misunderstood. The fact the company has had to make a statement which strongly denies the rumour would suggest that it was not the case. I think it highlights the problem when letting developers discuss matters in an open forum.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 60 ]bids

The original comments that DVD space was affecting the game weren't rumors, they were posted by a dev. team member on the official forums. It largely had to do with texturing buildings, since (for example) Vegas casinos at day look drastically different than at night. After that, we get an effective retraction by the company itself, saying it was planned all along. So, as Kotaku put it, who do we believe: Bizarre Creations or Bizarre Creations?[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 290 ]bids
