Rage

I'm guessing that the original thread probably got wiped a few months back as I couldn't find it on the masterlist, so I made a new one.

Rage is the latest game to come from id Software since DOOM 3. It's also their newest IP. For the record, Quake 4 and the latest Wolfenstein game were both developed by Raven Software, not id. Anyway, Rage is reported to be the first game to support the new id Tech 5 engine, capable of rendering the game in ludicrous detail. From what I've heard, Rage (including the multiplayer) will run at 60 FPS, even on the 360. However, if you want to install this game on your 360, it'll take up a good 22 Gigs of space on your hdd. I've got this game preordered for the Anarchy Edition at GameStop. I'm a sucker for double-barrel shottys.

Game doesn't look half bad. Have to admit, doesn't look like it was made by the same company that made Doom. If anything, it looks like a team up between bioshock and the elder scrolls.

If anyone can make an epic FPS, id will do it. I've seen enough footage and interviews to know that these motherfuckers know what they're doing.

The E3 video looks way too scripted. Bethesda's newest video release is epic win and looks like natural gameplay:

God I can't wait for this game to come already!

[font=verdana][color=green]I actually played the Rage HD on the Apple Iphone a few days back.

I found it an enjoyable game, but on the actual console, I can see this game being very fun. To me, it looks like it's the thing that Bulletstorm should have been.

I won't rush to buy this, though. I already have too many other games on my plate.

I'm definitely looking forward to getting it, whenever I have the spare cash to afford it.

RAGE - Alternate Extended TV Spot

Been playing the game for a few hours now and I'm really enjoying it. There's something about watching a bandit perform some crazy-ass acrobatics moments before having his head blown off by a 12 gauge that you can't help but smile at. Shooting people in a game has never been so much fun, thanks in part to the weapons feeling as if they have some weight to them. But a lot of the enjoyment also comes from how your enemies react appropriately to receiving a superfluous new asshole. Some may think it as a minor detail in gaming, but it's one that I strongly appreciate as it keeps the gunplay fresh.

Some people are just ignorant fucking pricks.

The critics are weighing in and their reviews consistently mention that: the story sucks, the design is fucking beautiful, the gunplay is fucking awesome (as expected of id), and there's amazing detail/variety in the animations of both NPCs you talk to and kill. One of them also mentioned that this game can last up to 20 hours, and this is an fps that isn't an rpg; fuck me, that's awesome.

I'll be getting this game in 4 hours.

I completely agree. Besides, who buys an id game expecting a good story? This is what the entire basis of id games have been thus far; here's the plot, here's some guns, fuck shit up. It's simple and it's been working pretty well for id since they started the FPS genre. If anything, I'd say the lack of story makes way for more action, which is entire reason I bought the game in the first place. If I wanted a game with a good story, I'd go to a developer that specializes in such, like Bioware, Valve, or Bungie.

Fallout with 80% more action!
Can't wait to buy it...

Rage has been in development since before Fallout 3. However, there is a funny Fallout reference in the game; in the form of a Vault Tec bobblehead that you can pick up and even sell at a high price.

The game I see Rage compared to the most is Borderlands, and for good reasons, because after playing Borderlands it's hard not to see the huge list of similarities. Rage was being developed before Borderlands, too. So far I've played for about 5 hours and I'm pretty sure this game is better than Borderlands. Shit, not only is this the best looking FPS I've ever played (and I've played Crysis 2 and Killzone 3), it's the best FPS I've ever played.

Also, the story of both Borderlands and Fallout 3 sucked.

Another easter egg: Quaola Quayons (i.e., the shit a badass motherfucker uses to draw pretty pictures like a boss.)

This is a really good game actually, the only problem is that I can't change the graphics settings except for resolution and anti-aliasing... Some people are getting texture popping problems on AMD cards too. This is still a very nicely polished game otherwise, and I strongly recommend to anyone who enjoys an apocalyptic style game if they're looking into this.

God damn it, id. As if jizzing all over my walls over Rage wasn't enough, now those assholes are trying to get me to nostalgiagasm.

I admite the history of Borderlands it's pretty much lame, but Fallout 3 story it's good, it has it's flaws but even so you buy the whole plot... (it's kida easy though)

LOL, those're some awesome easter eggs. I gotta go back and look for that Wolfenstein room. I wonder if there's any Commander Keen easter eggs in the game as well?

i would of liked to seen a demo for this before i even think of buying it, i mean it looks interesting but i've had FPS that looked good on trailers but when i played it it wasn't worth it.

This game is the opposite. Trailers can't do it justice.

The reason why there's no demo is because the game is just too damn big. Hence it being on 3 seperate disks for the 360 and taking up about 22 gigs of HDD space. But yeah, I agree with RBZ, the trailers don't do this game justice. The racing doesn't feel tacked on and is actually a very fun diversion from the main game. The controls are smooth and the amount of detail put into this game is astounding.

Btw, did anyone catch the Twilight Zone reference in the game? The book titled, To Serve Mutant?

Also, Blake Griffin made it into the game...
