360 version of Rage coming on two discs
Two landscapes planned
In what might be something of a first, id Software are planning to launch their new action game on two discs for the Xbox 360, this because of the limitations the format places on data and file sizes.
id Software had apparently been planning to create a vast game world - five or six wasteland locales - but designer Tim Willits reveals this will now be squished down into two larger worlds, one for each DVD.
"The PC is limitless in the amount of data you can put on it. The PS3 has about 25GB. But the Xbox 360 roughly has 6 to 8 GB of data. We're hoping we can squeeze the game down to two discs for the 360 version," Willits revealed to US site 1UP.com.
"I wouldn't say the overall story was changed in any way in order to fit on the Xbox 360 version, but how the player experiences Rage's story has been altered."
The game is likely to be out late next year. We'll bring you more as it nears.
