id Software responds to RAGE performance concerns

Last week, news of John Carmack’s comments in the latest issue of Edge sparked quite a bit of fanboy nerd-rage, as Carmack essentially said that, currently, id Software’s upcoming game RAGE is performing half as well on the PS3 as on the PC and Xbox 360 platforms.

By the time the game launches, however, that will be another story, as Carmack then went on to say: “Everything is designed as a 60 hertz game. We expect [RAGE] to be 60 hertz on every supported platform.

“The work remaining is getting it locked so there’s never a dropped frame or a tear,” Carmack continued, “but we’re confident that we’re going to get that.”

Just to clarify id Software’s commitment to delivering that promise of a fully featured game on all platforms, a tweet appeared on the RAGE game’s official Twitter, saying:

“The Edge Magazine article has caused quite a ruckus. We are committed to ensuring that gamers on all platforms have a great RAGE experience.”

So, PS3, Xbox 360, PC and Mac gamers can now rest easy knowing that RAGE will run just as smoothly, and look just as delicious, on any platform you choose.

The end!
