    Here we are...what? Halfway through the console cycle? Weren't there people doing all kinds of comparisons about how games would absolutely never need more than one DVD this generation unless they were FMV laden jRPGs?

    Anyone want to say RAGE is probably full of hours of FMV? Maybe someone should try to float that Carmack needs to use procedural textures. That one's always a laugh.

    That's what I like about Carmack. He says it like it is. He said that PS3 was harder to program for, and he doesn't mind admitting that DVDs are too small for HD Era games.
