Rage Is 3 Discs on 360, 8GB Install on PS3

Rage will be three discs on Xbox 360 and an 8GB install on PlayStation 3, creative director Tim Willits has confirmed.

In an interview at this weekend's Eurogamer Expo, Willits told Digital Foundry about working with Sony to make that size manageable.

"Sony was great. Kudos to Sony for letting us do that. They don't allow every game to do that. So definitely, hats off," he said. "What we were able to do is install all the textures to the highest level. What is nice about the PS3 platform is that it's just one platform. Everyone has one 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 Xbox 360, the game will span multiple discs, but Willits says not to worry about having space for all of them on your hard drive.

"We recommend installing the game to the hard drive, but you don't need to install all three discs," he said. "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. You don't really need to install the multiplayer disc if you're really tight on hard disk space."

Willits also discussed the process of making the game for three systems.

"There are more similarities between them than most people realize, so they developed a codebase that would take care of these multi-core systems," Willits said. "It makes a lot more sense than taking on old technology and shoving it into a modern day console and then having to multi-thread. So the basic gamecode is the same, the basic engine is the same and it's only the graphical APIs, and a few sound things that are really different on all the three systems, which is really nice."

The full interview is available at Digital Foundry.

Rage hits PS3, Xbox 360, and PC on October 4.

lol... what the hell do u have installed on your ps3? that needs to stay on it?

**Fairy-Killer** · 2011-09-25 18:52

I'd say Rage is going to be well worth the 8 GB on my PS3. I think this game is going to be pretty overshadowed by all the other good releases coming out about the same time.

**Drunkenmonk** · 2011-09-25 19:00

i would totally day 1 this if it wasn't coming out the same day as dark souls, i'll pick it up sometime after B3/U3/skyrim though

You know shit... that is a good question. I really think there HAS to be something I can dump. I don't know where my 60GBs went.

When I had my 80gb, I had gigs of game patches and DLC I just didn't want to ever have to redownload (lolCanadaInternet), and that ate up a good chunk of space. I believe I had to delete three game install data just to get GT5 to install.

Granted it's a moot point now with my 500gb hard drive. A shame Sony still has no hard drive transfer kit, as the current method is a slow pain in the arse, and may corrupt since their backup utility is ass.

For a mandatory install of that size though, it better look fucking sharp. I'm a bit curious why they didn't opt for a dynamic install that just streamed content to the HD when the game predicts it'll be needing to fetch something new soon. I know the bluray seek times are ass, but there should be a better way of handling it, or at least giving the players some options on the matter.

**Qalbert** · 2011-09-25 20:50

semi-related question, is there any way to delete content on xbox other than one item at a time? I have waaaaaay too many fucking rock band dlcs clogging, but everytime I go to delete it loks like it'll take an hour and I'm like fuck that noise

I had a lot of trade ins so I have roughly $180 on a Gamestop card... I have this and DS as my preordered, my brother will buy Skyrim via Steam, and roommates will buy BF3 for comp and we will all play that. I am set to fail all of my classes this semester.

**Vilyon** · 2011-09-26 13:20

**Doombear** · 2011-10-03 14:22

Very excited. Game shipped out today from GameFly, should see it on Weds/Thursday. Took the end of the week off for Dark Souls but it is going to be nice to have this to play when literal RAGE makes me want to play Rage instead of that.

IGN gave it an 8.5

**Kaisha** · 2011-10-03 20:39

Good to hear the vehicular combat is good. Gameplay vids didn't really give me any good impressions of it handling well, but I guess it's just one of those things where you need to feel it for yourself rather than spectate.

Then giving the 360 version a 10 on the visuals makes me demand some 1920x1200 ingame screencaps of the PC version when it's out.
