L.A. Noire "four or five or six" discs on Xbox 360 "at one point"

Team Bondi’s Brendan McNamara reveals their ”stupidly ambitious” project L.A. Noire, releasing this week, was floating around 5 or 6 discs at one time.

It was ”miraculous compression” that saved it from becoming such a giant, which included trimming it for a Blu-ray too. It’s the ”biggest map” they’ve done.

”We’ve always been called stupidly ambitious,” admitted Team Bondi writer and director Brendan McNamara in a video interview with Gamespot. ”Along with Rockstar we make very big games. It took a lot of effort to get down to three discs - I think we were on four or five or six at one point - and to get it onto one Blu-ray.

”We’re pretty pleased that we got it down to that in the end,” he continued, praising ”miraculous compression” for getting the job done. It’s 3 discs for Xbox 360.

”It’s the biggest map that we’ve done and that Rockstar have done, so there’s a lot of detail in there, and also a lot of actor’s performances - 21 hours worth.” Team Bondi has revealed that ”two full desks” have been cut from L.A. Noire, which could become DLC.

L.A. Noire releases on Xbox 360 and PS3 this week.
