If you look at Rage, yes, he's right.

But not if you look at Beyond Two Souls, God of War Ascension, or Halo 4. ;)

To be fair, I doubt any of them run at 60fps.
Rage could look *much* better if they cut the framerate in half.

I believe Carmack said that Doom 4 would look much better than Rage, because it would target 30fps. Allthough I'm not exactly sure what's the latest with that.

One would hope.
The only other FPS that I can think of that runs at 60fps on consoles is Call of Duty, they are also not known as graphical power houses, however Rage has far better draw distances amongst other things...
To Id softwares credit, they did do an amazing job with demonstrating the possibilities of Mega-texturing, should be interesting to see what happens with that technology in this coming console cycle, I'm expecting console gamers are wanting more PC-like levels of graphical fidelity, to match PC textures, they're going to have to use it more prominently.
