lol, I always find it strange when a developer says one version of their game is better than the other in a published interview. It's like telling owners of "x" console that you are giving them an inferior experience for the same price. How's that for advertising? It's one thing for edge to do this but Carmack himself? Well good luck selling Rage on ps3.

You are flaming him for just being honest.

How am I flaming him? It's nice that he's honest and all but some things are better  off left to the tabloids. Eurogamer would've posted this info when the game launched anyway. There's a reason capcom always says their games look the same when sites like Eurogamer can somehow find differences.

There's a reason bethesda never officially said that fallout 3 was better on 360 even though the ps3 version was downright craptastic. Think.

If you're developing multiplatform, saying stuff like this is just shooting yourself in the foot whether it's true or not. There's a big difference between 60fps and 20 fps and both games will retail for $60+

 

Its actually the same reasons why Rockstar said the PS3 version of GTA IV was better in spite of it running with lower resolution, no MSAA and poorer framerates. It was to divert attention away and prevent otherwise negative publicity. It all depends on the level of public scrutiny as well, but in this case hes more giving an honest opinion about the status of the games engine and it has no real bearing on the product at the end of the cycle.

I don't remember rockstar saying that but if they did it kinda makes more sense, in a way, to hype up the poorer version. It's all moot for GTAIV though because the franchise is so popular that almost nothing would've stopped it's fans from buying. Rage doesn't have that luxury.

We'll see about the final product but I highly doubt that anything will change. We'll just have to wait for Eurogamer
