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

 

 

Actually @ your other comment as well. I would suspect that in the future all multiplatform games will be equal to a fault between the two systems. As a couple of developers have said on B3d, they don't want any negative publicity. If one version is better then the other version is worse.

Then it would make sense that they don't provide such publicity themselves. Multiplats are rarely equal. Even when they are "equal" there are pobably differences that are beyond the human senses. However, the fact remains it's in a developer's best interest not to mouth off these differences by themselves.

Gabe Newell can "badmouth" the ps3 since he has no stake in it but here we have ID's boss "badmouthing" a version of his own game.
