A developer from Ninja theory responds to the recent news about the developers using over 10GB of space for only Heavenly Sword audio.

The developers came very close to using a dual layer blu-ray disc because even with the size of the single layer blu-ray disc, they were having problems fitting all all of the game's audio data onto a single layer blu- ray disc. According to the developer :

"We use a mixture of compressed and uncompressed, but lots were compressed for the reasons people have stated.
Make no doubt, fitting all the audio in and not stuttering and being the the highest quality we could get wasn't easy, it was quite a problem even with the size of blu-ray. At one point we seriously considered dual layer Blu-ray because ofspace issues."

Theres no way this games gonig to be bigger then Oblivion which works fine on one disc. If they just spent the time and compressed it they wouldnt need the secound layer.

I doubt it. I wouldn't make predictions for a game that will be out in 2009-10, and that hasn't even been worked on.

We get it, Blue-Ray is better for games than DVD-9, Now that the subject is out of the way,

Ninja Theory is full of it if they think they can't completely compress 10GB of audio. Its quite obvious Bethesda are more skilled and use better techniques.
