Xbox 360 gamers looking for the best Rage experience are going to have to install the game, but this will eat up a massive 22GB of storage, id co-founder John Carmack has revealed.
“On the 360 we don’t have a partial install option,” Carmack told the audience at his QuakeCon keynote. “It’s all or nothing, which is kind of unfortunate. It means you have to install 21/22GB of stuff which takes a long time but if you’ve got it and you play it on the 360 that’s the way to go.”
PS3 gamers are going to want to install too, with the latency from the Blu-ray being a big offender.
“Once you get everything from memory that works pretty good, but if you’re coming straight from the hard drive then the first time you walk into everything from the DVD or from the Blu-ray – even worse in terms of total latency time – you listen to that Blu-ray churning around as it’s pulling everything in,” Carmack explained.
He added: “It”ll be nice when we don’t have that physical element we don’t have to be working around or scheduling around.”
Rage is shaping up rather nicely and certainly has enough about it to keep its head above the water in the insanely busy autumn/winter release period.
Martin recently had two hours playing around with the Rage campaign and came away pretty impressed.
Rage will be released October 7 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
