RAGE a little — ok, very slow on ps3

John Carmack about “RAGE” in the latest issue of EDGE:

“The PS3 lags a little bit behind in terms of getting the performance out of it,” John Carmack told Edge. “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.”

What this means is, that while PC and Xbox 360 will run “RAGE” at 60 frames per second, the PlayStation 3 version is running at 20-30.
Look, I am not a scientist, not to mention not a rocket scientist, but a difference of up to 40 frames sounds like a lot! No word from Carmack if this will be fixed until launch. Hey, at least it comes on a single disc on PS3, right? Wrong.

Our beloved browser-FPS is getting better! It is very good to see that people at id Software are keeping a close eye on the Quake Live project: As it was announced a week ago, the game will get a new map every week, 6 in total. They’ve already released a map named Hidden Fortress – a CA/FFA map found in the Dreamcast version of Quake 3: Arena -, and tomorrow they will upload the 2nd map as promised. continue reading →

id Software’s free online-shooter Quake Live is now in public beta, which means you can go play a web-browser based Quake 3 Arena for free.

The game boasts a refined interface, a powerful website with thorough stats and — oh boy are you going to love this — achievements!
You can frag your friends and total strangers in six modes including Capture the Flag, Team Deathmatch and Clan Arena!

For now, the game only supports Internet Explorer and Firefox on Windows based platforms, but according to Carmack, the Mac and Linux versions are high on his priority list.

So there, go play, but be patient, you might have to stand in line.
