Ninja Theory, the developers of the up coming game 'Heavenly Sword' for the PS3 recently stated that they "have jam-packed the Blu-Ray disc absolutely full." They also stated that the audio alone takes up 10GB, and they could never fit it on a regular double layer DVD.
Well I love the take that G4TV has, check the quote "Ninja Theory is so quick to brag about how they filled the disc when early reports claim the game takes under 10 hours to complete." They went on to say "Blu-Ray should be used to extend gameplay and give gamers more than 5.1+ surround sound that takes up a third of the space. A lot of sound means what? A lot of cutscenes!"
So they have a game that takes 10GB of music on a 25GB disc? On my ipod, 10GB is about 6 days worth of music, and the rumor is that this game takes under 10 hours to finish? Sounds like a Sony move, putting a lot of effort toward the wrong thing.
Well, at least it will sound good.
