If id Software has somehow managed to bridge the gap between the PC and the PS3 while using the same high-res graphics using the “super texture” pack running at 60fps, that would be a monumental achievement."
"toe-to-toe with the PC version"
No just no. Console versions will be great but it's not matching the PC version. Even _if_ it has better textures PC version will run at higher FPS and have higher resolution options in addition to all the usual tweaks available. And given the fact that this is id this is sort of a no-brainer. id invented the genre and pride themselves on graphics.
Yeah, okay. 8 GB install automatically means that they've loaded the super high res texture pack?
Puhleeease.
LOL Plenty of PS3 titles needs to be installed not for extra benefits but because the PS3 can't run certain engines without doing this.
How does giving kudos to Sony for allowing ID to make the game on par or close to the other versions translate to matching PC or edging out the 360 version like in the other article? lol
The author is actually mixing quotes made by ID from a long time ago when MSFT wouldn't let ID use more than 2 discs with recent remarks thanking Sony for allowing them to make their jobs easier.

From 2008 and before ID and MSFT worked out a deal for more discs. John was just fussing back then because MSFT wouldn't allow ID to make the game they knew the could on the 360 with only two discs
"According to Carmack, the royalty fees to include a third disc in the Xbox 360 version would be so high that it simply isn't a feasible solution, with the programmer hoping for Microsoft to make a concession. He stressed that the issue is merely a storage problem and has nothing to do with the power of the Xbox 360 hardware, while adding that the PlayStation 3's Blu-ray format is Sony's one leg up on the competition."
