Video games usually tend towards shorter than real life day/night cycles, so I would be a little surprised if they made it 2 days. It could also get tiring fighting in dark night time environments all the time if you happened to play every other day for a few days.
I have always disliked the 24 or 48 minute days of games like The Elder Scrolls or Grand Theft Auto just because I feel like it's a little too sudden, but I think a 4 hour cycle would be pretty perfect. Just enough time to get a lot done during the daylight or in the cover of night, but you would still have good odds of seeing a lot of diversity of time of day.
Maybe they could even offset it a little, like making it be 4 hours 15 minutes so that it wasn't always the same time of day in game at the same time of day in real life.
