Interesting. Particularly as initially id made a lot of noise about Tech 5 was designed to be equivalent across all platforms - now, it seems it's design is better suited to PC/360 after all.

This may not be a surprise, given id's PC background, but I'm more than a little surprised that Carmack, who I've always held in high esteem as a coder and engine developer, seems unable to match developers like IW, whose engine runs 60fps on both 360 and PS3 and looks pretty much the same on both too.

I was hoping Tech 5 really would be the first heavy duty engine from one of the former big PC developers to run well across both platforms, but with Unreal tech now performing well on PS3 and with a new Crytek engine on the way for HD consoles it looks like id might have failed to equal the competition in the engine stakes.

Nice for 360 owners I guess. If this holds true at launch then its PC for me.

 

EDIT: where did the 4 disk thing come from?  I thought it was 2 DVDs - maybe 3 at the outside?



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
