they had to trim it, but yea they are talking about one gigantic game. let's see if it delivers. seems to me that mass effect is the bar for big epic games this gen.

I was thinking this same thing until I heard the main game is basically 20 hours ish and you can get more hours from sidequests and stuff.


ok, i have totally lost respect for dvd in gaming. i thouht u could fit anice sized epic on there with some hard work, but i guess not. it seems to me that it should be blu ray or a dl game (hopefully by the time it matters we can have 3 gig games for dl) by the end of the console life cycle.


Nice to see you actually read the rest of the topic.  It's a 20-30 hour main plot with 20-30 hours of side plot.  Every action and decision you make also changes the outcome of the game (and the people you play through the game with), so you can play the game many many times without ever playing it the same way twice.  As far as actual depth of content there is nothing on the PS3 that's even come close to that.  What's the longest game announced for the PS3?  Heavenly Sword at 12-14 hours game time?  Blu-ray has not shown it can increase (or at least that it's being used to increase) the length, depth, or interactivity of the gameplay experience.  Hell, Zelda Twilight Princess fit on a 1.5GB Gamecube Minidisk with some of the best graphics of last generation and was a 40 hour plus game.  Yet Blu-ray hasn't even managed to match half that length with more than 20 times the disc space.  I'm sorry but there is ZERO evidence to justify Blu-ray being a valid and necessary addition to the game industry at this point.
