Well I think it's pretty obvious that many of rages shortcomings (rushed 2nd half and blurry textures from compression) are mostly related to fitting the single player campaign to 2 xbox 360 DVDs. The biggest challenge for tech 5 with this generation of hardware is to find a balance between cutting the campaign length and compression of the texture assets. It's not suprising from carmacks twitter that he is currently working on some third party compression software. If they can make strides in this then Id tech 5 will be a great platform for future Id and Bethesda titles utilizing it. If doom 4 gets moved to next gen let's hope xbox 720 ships with a blu ray player.

I would be SHOCKED if next gen Xbox gets a blu-ray -- you know, corporate pissing matches and such... it's a shame b/c PS3 is weak in comparison and Microsoft is pushing to get PC games converted to XBox and Ported to Windows ...

All you guys reminding the community that it's about money and not making a product the consumer feels 'content' with, you guys republicans or are you out posting from your iPhone in Occupy YourStreet?... ::puzzled face::
