Rage Held Back By Xbox 360's Limits


During his Austin Game Developers Conference discussion on storytelling and technology, id Software lead designer Tim Willits the developer is cutting back on the amount of content they would have liked to include in their upcoming shooter Rage. The main reason for limiting the game's content is the Xbox 360's limited disc storage, which allows about six to eight GB of data.

"The PC is limitless in the amount of data you can put on it," said Willits. "The PS3 has about 25GB. But the Xbox 360 roughly has 6 to 8 GB of data. We're hoping we can squeeze the game down to two discs for the 360 version."

According to Willits, the game was supposed to feature several wastelands for the player to explore. Because of the limitations of the Xbox 360's media, they had to cut down the wastelands to only two, which are themselves split into multiple instances. These changes have been made across all versions of Rage, not just the 360 port.

"I wouldn't say the overall story was changed in any way in order to fit on the Xbox 360 version," Willits said, "but how the player experiences Rage's story has been altered." Unfortunately, that means the experience has been altered across all platforms. This is one of the first signs we've received of the 360's older DVD media showing its age, but we expect some fans won't be terribly pleased that it's affecting other versions of the game as well.

火星否？

简单翻译：
卡大神即将到来的新大作Rage，因为XO的容量限制，不得不删除某些游戏内容。例如游戏中本来有数个废墟供玩家探索的，现在删除到剩下两个并分离成数个instances（场景？）。这改动不只是三红机版，还覆盖到神机版和PC版上。

神机BD有25G，PC鸡无限制，三红机DVD只有6-8G，并且多碟要收授权费。这是三红机使用的DVD格式已经落后的信号，而且影响到游戏流程。

There was NO CONTENT removed from RAGE because of the 360--NONE AT ALL. Moving from multiple wastelands into fewer but larger wastelands was a far better decision and is actually giving us more gameplay in the game.

随后ID跑出来澄清了，没有削减

id has previously stated that the Xbox 360 version of Rage will look worse than its PC and PS3 counterparts due to the limitations of the DVD medium. The studio had hoped to circumvent this by spreading the 360 release across three DVDs, though Microsoft's royalty rates apparently make anything beyond two discs financially impracticable.

ID之前说过Rage XO版看起来会比PC和神机版更差，现在仍然希望微软解除DVD限制以解决这问题


个中真相到底真是这样么，相信要靠自己判断了 :D

反正可以下载

为什么要砍神机版。。。

跨平台的妥协啊。

可能三红姬是默认开发平台，所以三红姬版删改影响到整个游戏

这游戏的默认平台应该是pc，消息的可信度有多少？就算xo容量不足，也不可能波及到pc平台把，毕竟老卡的游戏都是pc平台优先

这是1up而不是山寨网站，而且无rumor标记，竟然还有人不信

还能不能下载都是没影的事，而且还要顾忌三红姬硬盘选装的策略，大量出货的$199街机版都是没硬盘的

其实怨念都在于三红姬版影响了其他版本

有玩就可以了，这些场景如果做了，以后肯定也能玩到的

PC也是用DVD 而且360是销量保证 当然是以360版为主

说话不过脑子吗？？ A版XO出货是 所有XO版本中最少的

嘿嘿:D

为什么一定要信呢,在最后结果出来之前都是虚幻,比如前不久sony公布将有一款不是rpg的大作,结果呢,大到那里去了呢,所以呢,业界的一切你太认真的话,那你才是输家,玩好游戏是真的

是啊，PC也是DVD载体啊，也就阿三是BD。

好吧街机版不是大量出货所以缺货了，这个不需要岔开话题了

OH YEAH 3红机满塞
