Do we need Blu-ray Discs: OH YES, Heavenly Sword on PS3 alone has 10GB of sound

Heavenly Sword on PS3

Now to all you Blu-ray disk haters, who says that Blu-ray is not needed! And we must say this loud and clear. We found out via Develop Magazine that the PS3 game Heavenly Sword has well over 10GB of sound alone with about 4500 different lines of dialogue and 3 ½ hours of music. Show me a normal disc that can cater this.

This really tells you that we do in fact need Blu-ray, 10GB and that is without the graphics, art, textures and so on, you get my drift.

    Of course a normal disk could handle it, just separate the languages out into differant SKUs and use better compression.

    If you can’t fit a game into 9Gb, you aren’t trying hard enough.

    Following up. 10Gb, if they used standard MP3 or WMA compression would be enough for 15 days, 12 hours, 49 minutes, 37 seconds of game audio. 10Gb of multi lingual WAVs is a waste space.

    We shall all bow down to your better judgement rich. Perhaps you should set up a consultantcy firm to advise all these game developers as your knowledge of music compression is obviously supreeme to anything they’ve encountered.

    Ha ha If you can’t fit a game into a DVD9 you probably are trying to make a better game and don’t want to be restricted :)
