Same here bro, I've been waiting a long time too.

taken the fact about how long it has been in production, it could very well be the first multi bluray disc game. its possible, not impossible.


I doubt that, a dual layered blue ray disc can hold around 50gb, so a multi disc game on blue ray sounds kind of far fetched.


Its not far fetched at all. I'm not ruling out the possibility. Take MGS4 for example. It had a few features cut from the game so it would fit on a Blu-ray disc. I'd imagine a good deal of that has to be cinematics, uncompressed audio and the like. The cinematics all utilize in game assets and MGS has never had FMV cutscenes. The uncompressed audio is the issue at hand, and all the 1080p greatness.

I base my theory on these interviews with Nomura. I understand what he is doing is the same with MGS4 when it comes to cinematics. The graphics will be on par with FMV as far as I know in one of his interviews he explained.
