Wow, 800MB for the trailer. Hmmm.

i know...  imagine how big the whole game is going to be.

i wonder if SE would fit the game into a single layer blu-ray disc.

Well it has been said that it is 1blu-ray disc and 3 DVD discs but I don't know if this confirmed

Games are far more compressed. The consoles unpack them as the game goes along :)

If my memory serves me correctly Crisis Core is around 1.6GB and when unpacked it was in the 2GB's.

That's the point of BluRay. You don't need to compress anything and therefore you have no quality loss.

PS3 games are still compressed by a large amount.. Uncompressed 1080p video footage is fucking HUGE. It can be over 1Megabyte a frame. Uncompressed Audio and textures are also very large. Everything is rendered/recorded/created at the highest possible quality for games and then compressed to fit the required media storage.

For an example. Rage, Id Softwares upcoming game is sitting at over 1Terabyte uncompressed. Imagine Final Fantasy XIII uncompressed with their super high quality CGI scenes.

Rage will be squeezed into 1 Blu-Ray disc and 3 Dual layered DVD's.

Here are some more examples of completely uncompressed 1080p video files.

Check out the file sizes... 2.29GB for 43 seconds of footage anyone?

Not true at all. We've had developers come out and say that they don't have to compress anything and leave it in pure quality. Take Resistance 1 and Ratchet for example. Both pretty small games coming in at 16 GB and 24GB respectively. A game like MGS4 filled the 50GB dual layer and had to compress a little bit at the end to fit it all. Certainly a game like MGS and only requires a small amount of compression even with tons of languages right there on the disc.

Also, Uncompressed 1080p video sizes are not a great comparisons. Especially so, that I can get awesome 1080p anime that's 25 minutes long and be under 1 GB.
