Will Uncharted 3 not fit on a single Blu-ray?

The PS3's Uncharted 2 was in the news years ago as it barely fit on a 25GB Blu-ray disc but it appears its sequel has taken it a step further.

Naughty Dog's upcoming addition to the blockbuster franchise is so far larger than a 50GB dual-layer Blu-ray disc and could eventually have the distinction of being the first game to require multiple discs.

Says Naughty Dog community manager Arne Meyer:

Uncharted 2 barely made it to 25GB, while Naughty Dog is going over 50GB this time, for Uncharted 3. But in the end we�ll be under 50. We�ll be one disc.

That being said, it is clear the company will have to try some severe compression techniques before launch in November.

Considering that it will be more than 50% cutscenes, shouldn't they just call it a movie?

Playable movie or no, it's still more entertaining than most things being produced for the big screen. As long as it slaps a $60 tag to it, I'll still get it.

If this game is over double the size of Uncharted 2, then that could only mean the single player must be longer, I know the multiplayer is much more expanded, but U3's single player MUST be longer, keep up the good work ND!
