Post apocalyptic action at its best! id software announced that Rage will be out Q3 2011!
The live playthrough was featured across all the 3 platforms - the PC, PS3 and X360 and the game demoed on all the platforms at a consistent 60fps! The game looked the best on the PC needless to say and loaded faster on the same platform, followed by the X360 and the PS3. There’s still plenty of time left until the launch and id is expected to polish the game further.
Apart from the primary FPS genre, the game also features driving and racing gameplay such as those found in Burnout series. Players can upgrade their cars from the money earned through previous races. The game might as well feature RPG elements and an inventory akin to the one found in Borderlands.
The game will be the first to use id software’s proprietary id Tech 5 engine followed by Doom 4 and perhaps Quake 5!
The trailer doesn’t speak much and isn’t all that impressive but when id brings out a title, rest assured the game is got to be kick ass, coming from the developers of the FPS genre! Not to mention it would bring any high-end systems to its knees.
Crap! I thought Todd Hollenshead would make a mention of Doom 4 as promised during the Quakecon 2009 and ended up with Rage’s release date. :\
In other news, Crysis 2 gets a release date - March 22, 2011 and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is in the works as we speak, confirms GSC Gameworld.
DOOM 4 outta be better than Rage visually as Carmack intends it to be 30Hz with more pixels cramped in less number of frames, opposed to 60fps of Rage.
I missed live feed of Quakecon this year, any news on brink?reception on Quakelive subscription? I found some of the new maps in quakelive were down right shitty
Haha yes Carmack demoed a version for the iPhone on the iOS 4 and ran butter smooth. The game ports to OSX and Linux as well which btw is a norm for the games developed by id.
My POV is Rage doesn’t remind me of Borderlands, rather Borderlands would remind me of Rage
idTech is the single most kickass game developer IMO(other than valve)
Going by their track record(Quake, Doom), they may well redefine the upper limit of kickassery
Awesome concept
1)Post apocalyptic world
2)Mutant Baddies
3)First Person shooter
4)Racing
any words on the minimum system requirements?:ashamed:
Am I the only one who thinks it looks like crap? Of course, the game will feature great technical advancements but the art direction seems rather poor. They’ve still got that unrealistic plastic look and feel that plagued Doom 3 and Quake 4.
True, but I really liked DOOM3 and I think the RAGE game will be awesome to play with… I’m sure they can improve the textures (colours etc) to make it more eerie/realistic by the time its released.
it was (for a phone).. smooth 60fps as well.
