id's Rage (PC, PS3, 360, Mac) will look worse on X360 due to the compression needed to fit the game's assets on two DVDs, John Carmack revealed at tonight's QuakeCon keynote. The royalty fees to include a third disc in the Xbox 360 version would be so high that it simply isn't a feasible solution. He hope Microsoft can make a concession. He also said that neither Doom 4 or Rage will be digitally distributed online.
It may not look that much better than other graphics we've seen of games in development but it appears to be perfect for multiplatform development on 360, PS3, PC, & MAC. id should be able to license this to a lot of companies & gamers will benefit. Though I'm not too sure this will be as good for PS3 because it would probably benefit from an engine more tailored to its intricacies.
