Devs explain Rage file size on consoles

Rage is going to be one heck of a massive game, and quite literally at that too.

 

id Software's latest console offering is reportedly coming at an 8GB install size for the PS3, while Xbox 360 gamers will have to contend with three discs for their version of the game. You might be wondering why it's taking this much space on your console, and fortunately, id Software's Tom Willits has got the answer for us.

 

Explained Willits on why the PS3 will take up 8GB on your hard drive, "Sony was great. Kudos to Sony for letting us do that. They don't allow every game to do that. So definitely, hats off. What we were able to do is install all the textures to the highest level. What is nice about the PS3 paltform is that it's just one platform. Everyone has a Blu-ray drive, one hard drive, it's all the same. Some of the other systems you have... should I install it on my 360? Should I not install it? So yes, it's very nice."

As for the Xbox 360, "We recommend installing the game to the hard drive, but you don't need to install at three discs. If you don't have the space available on your hard drive, don't stress. Install the first disc, the first chapter, the first half of the game, then when you're done, uninstall and install disc two."



Besides, they're pretty aware that this is a common dilemma among Xbox 360 users, and that's why they didn't require a particular cut-off for when you can swap discs. "you can go back if you want to but there's really no reason to," he reassures.



We do appreciate this accommodation, but truth be told, disc-swapping is just so old already. Then again, it's not the game developers' faults. They are, after all, only making do with the systemt that they're given to work with. 



Late last month, id also clarified that gamers will not have to be obliged to participate in the racing modes of the game, as it is going to be non-mandatory for the most part. They're also guaranteeing that the DLC that will be coming our way post-launch would be something that we would really want to get



Rage comes out in a few short weeks for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

it's probably a huge assumption on my part, but when a game is that big, i can't help but expect nothing but good things about it.

That's awesome! I hate when games force me to do crap I hate when that's not even what a game is about. :)
So glad this one wont.
