Heavenly Audio

Joystiq reports this morning that the upcoming game Heavenly Sword is going to ship with 10 gigabytes of audio. 4500 lines of recorded dialog, 90 minutes of music, and 90 minutes of cutscenes in eleven languages. Sure, much of this 10gb is in French and Swahili, but still, having 10GIG of audio alone is a pretty awesome achievement. Keep this in mind, too: audio for games is almost always compressed to save space, so that 10gb is probably much, much more at full quality.

I can only imagine how much work it took to record, edit, and keep track of 4500 lines of dialog. Sign me up!
