Don't really care for gaming today but Rage looks like a game I would play if I could. Looks pretty good. Love the ending of the trailer too. Intriguing. Looks like a good old fashioned Doom-esque shooter with some diversity thrown in, like the driving bits. Anyone excited for Rage?
Very Doom-meets-Borderlands. I'd give it a whirl.
Only if it is primal.
I really hope this comes out on 360. I loved the Iphone on rails game they released as a promo for this.
:mr_t:
The end of the trailer showed both PS3 and Xbox 360.Quote:

Graphically the game looks amazing. The gunplay looks solid and the racing and car combat look fun.
It Borderlands was lacking in one area it was the subpar vehicle mechanics, especially the vehicle combat.
This is a game I want to play.
Realistically though, isn't Apophis only like 250m across? Hardly enough to plunge the world into an apocalypse really.
Anyway, day one purchase for me on the PC.
Loopz already said it all, Doom-meets-Borderlands. This is what Borderlands should've looked like before Gearbox did an art change at the last moment. Rage is looking great, my only concern is multiplayer. Will there be any? Co-op, three-player or four player?
There's got to be multi, it being a huge title and all. Plus, in the current market, even if your game is phenomenal as a single player experience, people just expect it. Doesn't mean it'll be good though (just the MP I mean).
But I don't know... the game looks phenominal thus far. I just hope it plays well. Doom 3 was atmospheric, but pretty forgettable in the gameplay department.
I think the direction Borderlands went with graphically really suited the humor. It helped give the game its own unique style and flare.Quote:

this is the first time in a while that i'm pumped for a game
i hope the weapon customization is deep
Borderlands definitely spoiled me on that
only thing i don't like is that Sept release date
too damn far...
The more I hear about this game, the more I really want to play it. I haven't loved every game id Software makes, but they do make some pretty good ones that set the bar on more than one occasion. I mean, they pretty much invented the FPS genre with Wolfentstein 3D, Doom, and Quake. But they do make some pretty cool games worth checking out.
But yeah, this game looks like the perfect mix of Borderlands, Quake, Doom, and whatever other shit they mash into this game (I think racing is involved). Now that we finally get to see some sneak previews of the game (plus the i-phone game which I haven't played yet), it seems like the reason it's taking so long to make is because they're taking the time to make it right. It seems like id's put a lot of thought into how to make this a really fun game that people will want to keep playing, long after the one player quest is done.

Not so good news (as far as I care, anyway) about multiplayer and co-op. (Linky) 1up.com
Rage's single player, co-op and multiplayer all will be seperate modes. Not that big of a deal, but I was hoping for something more like Borderlands four player campaign co-op.
the market may be seriously over-saturated with FPSs but i'm honestly fine with it if we get the occasional gem like this game is shaping up to be
i too was hoping for a more Borderlands kind of co-op but at this point the game looks amazing regardless
I don't know. I must be missing something. All I see is yet another FPS set in a post apocalyptic setting.
Can't wait to play this and also see what the new Tech 5 engine is capable of. Carmack always raises the bar.

Bump, for the new trailer.
:oh_no:
Regenerating health, ironsights, no more than 3 or 4 enemies at a time, nothing but hitscanners, weak-sounding guns... god damnit. Hopefully we'll see a Classic Doom Coop type mod, or at least a Nightmare! mode that throws interesting and numerous enemies everywhere.
The dynamic animation system would show through much more (and would make the weapons feel like... well, firearms) if they just exaggerated it a bit. As-is, enemy deaths are still very neato.
I used to think John Romero was full of shit, but I can definitely see that iD's design talent is long gone. Nothing but poor CoD clones, like the rest of the FPS developers. The technical side of things is impressive enough that I'll probably buy it, though.
Bump, for dev diary videos. Three more after these three, once every Thursday.
It was a smart move for Zenimax to aquire id. I only wish Elder Scrolls Skyrim was using Camack's id tech 5 engine and not Bethesda's new Creation engine. I'm gonna grab Rage mainly to play around with that new graphics engine. Seamless 60fps indoor and outdoor with all that detail really is impressive. I'm sure there will be alot of complaining about a clunky 30fps Skyrim when another game out of the same studio is rendering just as far with as much detail at double the framerate.
Bump, more videos.
This thing is going to be ~22GB ripped to the 360's HDD. That's pretty beastly. It must span 3 discs.

Also clear the game makers had a lot of fun making this one, they speak with a lot of passion and I liked the comments on "Some people believe this, others believe..."
So after reading this, I'm not sure which version is the best to get? Xbox 360?
Just from reading that, who can say? I'd be willing to bet 360 and PS3 are likely near identical.Quote:

Honestly one of the reason I prefer consoles games is that I can play them in a comfy chair or on a couch. The keyboard and mouse combo just isn't relaxing for me. Dumb, I know.
I'll be picking up the game on 360.
The only real decision is whether to buy on PC or console. Playing with a controller is always a negative compared to the responsiveness and accuracy of a mouse. The casualness of playing an FPS on a console doesn't end at being able to lounge on your couch. The competitive community will always be on the PC if that's your thing.Quote:

I'm good with the 360 version :emb:
i plan on getting it for my laptop. itd run on my netbook also but i just hate how small the screen is.
i never understood how someone can play an FPS or even a game like Splinter Cell with a controller. for instance, Left 4 Dead... i can play that game on expert and usually maintain 100% health through most missions.Quote:

its just weird... here i am, expert level fps gamer with a keyboard/mouse, no hope cripple with a controller.
whenever i see someone doing well with a controller i always think "how in the hell?"
Just takes practice.
Maybe if I really cared about competitive FPS play I'd be a mouse and K/B type of guy but I don't so I'm not. The experience for me is still fun on a console and regarding online play - more of my friends have consoles then gaming computers.
The keyboard and mouse is more accurate for aiming...but using a controller is just as fun for me.
I just read that the 360 version will be three disks.
Anyways, next week. Can't wait!
I'm ready to get my "Krull" on with that wingstick thingy.
I'm excited, but not for the game itself.
Rage Dropping=Id Tech 4 Source=Optimized Standalone Dark Mod.
I know we are in 2011, but for me cabal-like (or nam75-like for those who don't know the first one) games are still massively toping the FPS genre.
Just my 2 cents
Is anyone getting excited for this?
I FEEL like I should be getting excited, but I'm not really.. I hope the game changes my mind.
Also Amazon.com has it with a 10$ coupon.
I admit I'm more excited for this than Batman: Arkham City or Uncharted 3.Quote:

My list is exactly the same: Skyrim being most anticipated, Rage second, then Uncharted 3 and Arkham City come later.Quote:

Assassin's Creed: Revelations
Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Skyrim
Operation Raccoon City
Looking at that whole list, however, I realized those are all sequels. Strange how the game industry has shaped my mind to stick with IPs. Of course, I am sort of suited to that owing to an irrational loyalty to 35 years of comic book continuity.
Still, what's one more video game? Maybe I'll go all in on Rage. Will have to see how the pocketbook looks after the weekend. I've heard nothing but good things about it, and it's Id.
Many of the top dev studios are now influenced or owned by larger companies. Its easier, safer and many times cheaper to continue on with an established ip than to branch out, especially with the capital that is needed to invest in one.Quote:

I bolded the shit I want out of your list. I want Rage too. I think I'm gonna wait two weeks and see if it goes on sale on Amazon like Deus Ex did. If not, I can't wait much longer than that, but think about it, seriously, they have been doing deals like this for new releases as of late. I think it all depends on initial sales.Quote:

Im gonna wait for some online reviews and impressions from this site before I buy.
Just another FPS. NOthing to see here. Cool atmosphere, and the driving sections look cool. I'll rent it or wait for a BIG price drop.
Aw right. Gonna go pick this baby up in the morning. Impressions to come.
Got mine using a Amazon Gift card for $39 and it came with another $10 off so basically $29. Good Deal.
I have to wait for the disc to arrive though, and then I'll link it up to steam and probably never touch the disc again.
