Carmack: Rage runs faster on Xbox 360

The Xbox 360 and PC versions of id's Rage sport higher framerates than
the PlayStation 3 version, the latest issue of Edge magazine reveals.

In a ten-page reveal in its latest issue, Edge writes that the Xbox
360 version of Rage - which uses id's new Tech 5 engine - matches the
60fps framerate of the PC version, while PS3 runs at just "20-30fps".

It's not mentioned whether the PS3 framerate will be addressed by the
game's eventual release.

"The PS3 lags a little bit behind in terms of getting the performance
out of it," John Carmack told Edge. "The rasteriser is just a little
bit slower - no two ways about that.

"The RSX is slower than what we have in the 360. The CPU is about the
same, but the 360 makes it easier to split things off, and that's what
a lot of the work has been, splitting it all into jobs on the PS3," he
said.

The PS3 edition was thought to be the most technically capable of the
console pair, thanks to id being able to squeeze the gigantic shooter
onto a single-player Blu-ray disc, compared to Xbox 360's four DVDs.

The developer also confirmed that a Mac version of Rage is still in
development.

Poor Sony. They just can't catch a break this generation. They are
dead last in sales (and the gap is increasing), their library is much
worse than the X360 (source: gamerankings) and about 95% of all the
multiplatform games are better on the X360.

Hard to believe this is the same company that dominated the previous
two generations.
