PS3 games too short?!

God of war 3 can be used as an example, I beat it in 10-12 hour's. Now let's look at gears of war 2 (xbox 360) I beat it in 8-10 hour's. How is it that an xbox 360 game be almost as long as a PS3 game. PS3 uses Blu-ray (25-50 GB) and xbox 360 uses Dual Layered DVD (8-15 GB). It gives PS3 game developer's 2-3 time's if not more space than an xbox 360 game to fit a massive amount of extra stuff to the game. I personally find it useless for the PS3 to use Blu-ray format in its games, if the game's are just as long or not shorter than an xbox 360's game (which has a far more limited amount of space).

The discs are bigger yes, but so is the games data. Length of a game has little to do with the space used. The fact that the game is truly rendered in HD means a whole lot compared to the SD resolution of the 360 games.

Take video files on the internet for example. A dual-audio 480p file ripped from DVD can usually be under 250 MB. That same episode in 1080p ripped from the Blu-ray is usually over 1GB.

It's the same formula with the games. Just because you play both for 10 hours to beat it and one is on Blu-ray and one is on DVD does not mean they aren't using up the full disc.

Just because a game is short doesn't mean that it is a bad game. Assassin's Creed games are short, but they are very good games!!!

AC is short? You must be playing through them pretty fast ;D I wish they were short, because the gameplay becomes a little repetitive before you reach the finale. But they're working on it and it gets better with each game.

I agree with Shade, AC wasnt short at all.. and it gets utterly hard at the end.. another Long game is... FFXIII, took me 80hrs to beat the story, and 118hrs to beat the final boss without dying. XD Quite long.. lol

well the games are the same on ps3 and xbox but ps3 has blueRay and people that make game wants to make more money so they try to make the game in small GB. so it fits in xbox but games that came out only on ps3 r much longer and the quality of the game is much better

Not one of the GOW games have ever been long at all. But it has always been worth playing and worth your time. the Final Fantasy series is the perfect games to get if you want a long game. i played a game a few years ago, cant remember what it was called, think blue dragon. didnt get very good ratings, but i really enjoyed it for many many hours (+-80). so it all depends on what games you play...
