id Software‘s upcoming RAGE is said to have faster framerate running on the Xbox 360 and PC in comparison to its PlayStation 3 counterpart, says John Carmack, co-founder of id Software, in a new interview with Edge Magazine.
“”The 360 version matches the PC’s 60 fps,” Carmack told Edge. “But the textures on many surfaces currently flick visibly between resolutions as you move toward and away from them, while the PS3’s framrate runs at just 20-30fps.
“The PS3 lags a little bit behind in terms of getting the performance out of it,” He added. “The rasteriser is just a little bit slower – no two ways about that.
“The RSX is slower than what we have in the 360. The CPU is about the same, but the 360 makes it easier to split things off, and that’s what a lot of the work has been, splitting it all into jobs on the PS3,” he said.
However, Carmack is confident the game will run the same on both platforms in the end.
“Everything is designed as a 60 hertz game. We expect this to be 60 hertz on every supported platform,” Carmack added
“The work remaining is getting it locked so there’s never a dropped frame or a tear, but we’re confident that we’re going to get that.”
