The advantage of Blu-ray in gaming is becoming more obvious by the week. If you plan to purchase the game ‘Rage’ in the future, you will be happy to know that the PS3 game will come on only one disc as opposed to 2 DVDs on any other versions. We’re still too far away to crown Blu-ray the ultimate format, but I really can’t see any way HD DVD can compete in the long run. The Sony PS3 and the Blu-ray format were off to slow starts, but that’s all about to change. Today, though, id Tech 5 surfaced. Behind closed doors at QuakeCon 2007 in Dallas, id CEO Todd Hollenshead revealed the demo was actually the first look at Rage, an all-new IP. As mentioned at WWDC, the game is in simultaneous development for the PC, Mac, PS3, and 360, abluray2nd will use the second generation of id's Megatexture technology. The game will be come on a single Blu-ray disc for PS3 owners, while all other versions will require two DVDs. Via MicroTechXP ---Related
