Forums - Gaming - Rage Developer:Rage will look worse on 360 due to compression

From Gamespot.com

"By contrast, all of Rage's content will fit onto just one of the high-capacity Blu-Ray discs used by the PlayStation 3. However, Carmack shut down many Sony loyalists' blooming braggadocio by saying that while the Blu-Ray disc is clearly his preferred medium, the 360 is a superior piece of hardware for developers."

 

He just can't seem to show praise for the PS3.

Sd cards, Flash drives and the like are all limitless in space and are far more durable.


They may be limitless but there are slight differences in price. A BD disc has 50Gb and costs 1-2$ to make. The biggest sd card you can buy at amazon.com has 32Gb and costs 129.99$. 64Gb flash drives go for 350$.

 

 You make a very valid and important point. Cost is everything.

However Nintendo currently use SD cards for the DS. They must be in mass production for that now. Granted the Ds space on the SD card is very small compared to what we need for HD gaming or films. But in 3 years with more mass producing a 30gb SD card for HD films is not that out of reach. It would save any need for a HDMI cables or power cables clogging up the stand and no loss in picture quality whatsoever as you wouldnt need a player.  

I cannot wait to get rid of the disc tech. We are past it now, it's just manufacturing costs that stop it going. But I believe I read that Toshiba are going down that road.



What a blow. if i was microsoft i would just let them use 3 disks and make it look as good as possible.

As the average game gets bigger and bigger this is clearly going to be a problem for the 360



And so it begins.....

Man, this has already caused a mini-internet meltdown.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.

Yeah, because you need to change discs on PC games, right?



Compression will actually make it look better if you do the math?
