It almost filled up a whole Blu-ray disc. They probably didn't want to journey onto another disc. It would've made the format look bad so early on in its life.

i doubt space would have been an issue they could have just used an dual layered disc.

SCEA would have footed the bill for Heavenly Sword no matter how outrageous it might have gotten, they're already proving that with Killzone 2. Money wasn't an issue.

That logic doesn't make sense (sorry). Memory has no effect on the length of the game unless you're referring to Blu-Ray capacity. And I'm sure HS didn't eat up an entire Blu-Ray disc.

Get your facts correct before trying to prove me wrong. Yes, it did almost fill up a whole Blu-ray disc. Ninja Theory said it, not I.

Obviously they should have spent more time on the gameplay instead of trying to make it into a movie.

Nah, despite the score, the gameplay is great as it is. The whole game is very good, just short.

I wasn't trying to be rude. Anyway, I apologize, as I read "memory" when it actually read "money", which is the premise my disagreement was based on.

I'm still shocked that a 6 hour campaign filled 25 GB of data. Seems kind of ridiculous to me.

Edit:

Please note that I was not responding to your thread. I was responding to the TC.

I noticed that too... When I rented it, I expected it to take me just 6 hours "as advertised"... It ended up taking me a few days. And 2 days overdue. :(

It is short, but it took me like 5 days to finish. I think it was make geared toward a story line and stuck with it, if it just dragged on and on I for one probably wouldnt have finished it..... to many games do this

Heavenly Sword is one of the PS3's biggest games this year, obviously if they needed more money, Sony would have forked it over.

The apparent shortness of the game had nothing to do with money. I think it was just the way the story was being told... if they tried to extend the game and make it longer it would probably be full to the brim with filler levels and useless plot twists.

It takes 5 1/2 - 6 hours for your average gamer to complete. It's worth it though. Great game.

Almost as bad as TC trying to tell us he's not a fanboy. HS = Creepshow 3 in terms of Hollywood production value. It's funny watching people spin a flop. Bu, bu, bu 6 hours for 60 dollars is good. Sony has people convinced short games are good...

Well considering pretty much anyone that gave a review for the game said it was very short so I will go by their opinion then a couple PS3 owner posters.

only reason why HS was to short was the devs spent almost a year on just doing facial animations not on longer lvls ect.Heavenly sword is still a good and people need to realise that most SP games have all ways been under 8 ish hours unless their dialogue power houses like the MGS series or RPGS.
