Rage Will Look Worse on 360 Due to Compression

[Scott]

id's post-apocalyptic open-world shooter Rage (PC, PS3, 360, Mac) will look worse on Xbox 360 due to the compression needed to fit the game's assets on two DVDs, programmer John Carmack revealed at tonight's QuakeCon keynote.

According to Carmack, the royalty fees to include a third disc in the Xbox 360 version would be so high that it simply isn't a feasible solution, with the programmer hoping for Microsoft to make a concession. He stressed that the issue has nothing to do with the Xbox 360 hardware itself, and is merely a storage problem.

It would be great if there was a way they could utilize saving games to the harddrive in these situations

I think they do save games to the hard drive. When I put in GT4 for the first time It downloaded stuff of the disk. I didn't have my internet plugged into, so it was defiantly off the disk.
