Rage and id's Love/Hate Relationship with the PS3

Brian Crecente — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 13:00:00 EDT

Last night John Carmack took to the stage at QuakeCon and inadvertently ignited a fanboy flamewar. id's upcoming open-world shooter Rage, he told the assembled gamers, will look worse on the Xbox 360 because of storage issues.

And it was. In fact Carmack's and Hollenshead's views on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 as platforms are fairly complex. While Carmack has long said he thinks that the architecture of the Xbox 360 is better, it sounds like he and others at id Software feel that the PS3 has done a much better job of future proofing. This issue with Rage? It's just the tip of the iceberg unless something is done. More »
