Actually, I believe the opening topic is that if somehow GoW 2 was on Bluray, Epic would make the game 20 hours long or something like that but they didn't because DVD didn't have enough space. That is quite unplausible as someone has already pointed out, HS was about 6 hours long so more space does not = longer games.

 

You wanna know why HS was only 6 hours? PR spin. As you can tell, I'm a Sony fan, but i'm not illogical. The reason that HS was only 6 hours was because they packed it full of all that uncompressed sound in like 40 different languages. I acknowledge that. But take into consideration that if they only used one language, maybe the game could have been longer. Look at Resistance. It was competing with Gears when it released, and Insomniac was smart about it. Instead of making the game in English/French/Spanish/Japanese/Albanian? etc all on one disc, they put one language on it and with the extra space left, they made it about a 15-17 hour game. And it was first generation. Now apply this to something like Gears. I think Gears COULD be a longer game if they had it on Blu-ray.

Are you saying that HS is short because they spent extra time making sound in 40 different languages? That doesn't really make any sense. Are you saying the lack of space on Blu ray forced the devs (Ninja Theory?) to cut the game back because they spent it on sound?
