    Rage

    Game » consists of 18 releases. Released Oct 04, 2011

    id Software's Rage combines first-person shooting, vehicular action, and "open but directed" exploration to tell the story of Earth's wretched civilization after a cataclysmic meteor strike. Militaristic authority figures, freedom-fighting rebels, criminal raiders, and twisted mutants battle each other for control of the barren wasteland Earth has become.

    Anybody else feeling some love for this game? (Rage)

    Hey all 
     
    I have been watching the progression of Rage for a while (since I saw a trailer, I think at E3 last year perhaps, or maybe a later date). The graphics are blowing me away and the gameplay looks interesting. Also with the latest trailer I saw on Youtube I feel like the story is comming together quite nicely and I am getting a bit of a Fallout 3 vibe from the game (which is great as I loved that game). 
     
    So anybody else here feel like they are actually stoked to get their hands on this game? 
     
    Enjoy.

    Absolutely!  I'm so psyched for this game, but I definitely wasn't before E3.  I'm totally looking forward to getting sucked into this game's storyline, just like I did with Fallout 3. 
     
    October 4th can't come soon enough!

    Game looks pretty fun to me. Kind of like a more serious borderlands with some car combat thrown in. I hope the car customization is high (I haven't looked into the game that much). But it's a definite buy for me.

    They keep showing the combat and don't show the world flavor stuff often enough. Which is kind of all I care about. I'll tolerate an okay/mediocre shooter to get some of the world flavor, just like I did with Fallout.

    The combat looks like a ton of fun. Mixing up the different guns/ ammo types looks like awesome. Oh and its pretty obvious the graphics are outstanding.

    If this actually runs at 60 FPS on the consoles, I'll crap myself.

    I was like yeah it looks good, perhaps I'll look in to it. Sure you get some bonus if you pre-order on Steam but what if it isn't any good...

    I feel like this game is getting overlooked badly. It's a shame because it looks really fun. Definitely my game to get October.

    I've been watching snippets here and there and didn't consider it a must buy until I saw the latest TGS footage and saw how smooth it ran. I can't wait now !!

    I am excited for the game, but it's really hard to tell if the story will be any good, and if the world will be as rich/varied as Id promised.

    Very much looking forward to it, and expect it to be quite good. Asteroid impact apocalyptia should be an interesting backdrop for some mutant murdering.

    I've got it pre ordered, not steam this time though. Idk why, but I wanted disc with this one, Carmack and all, plus I like the box art. I think it will have both good mechanics and world , and it's just starting again to be okay for me to enjoy another dystopian post apocalyptic type setting. I still think of Mad Max the most though with this one.

    It's Steamworks anyway. :]

    Waiting to see what the response is on this one, ID games are usually a ton of fun to blast things with shotguns but I'm in no hurry.

    I am actually really looking forward to RAGE, I love almost all ID games and I really can't wait to see that engine in use. I pre-orderd it the other day, along with Skyrim. TAKE ALL MY MONEYS BETHESDA!

    It looks good but Dark Souls comes out on the same day, and I don't know which one to get.
     
    It's not an easy decision man.

    I think you're talking about Fallout and certainly not an id-made shooter.

    One hang up I had with Rage when I played the demo at Eurogamer was that only a couple of character models for the enemies were shown, and they suffered worse English yelling dialogue than the Orks in Space Marine. Plus, they had with the same bloody voice actor for every single enemy, to boot. Thankfully, the screaming's pretty good, and pinning the dudes to walls with the whirlstick is incredibly satisfying. Still, more diverse enemies would be great, ta!

    The weapon fire felt like it had a good weight to it, not just in the visual knockback and sound, but the shots seemed to punch the bad guys hard, too. I enjoy a heavy hitting shotgun in an FPS, and this one was really fun to use. The combat feels good, which makes up for the lousy enemies I had to wade through. Might make a purchase, but I'd like to see how diverse the game gets with setting/characters and gameplay before I make a decision.

    Playing Dark Souls first, but I am definately keeping my eye on it. I really like the way it looks but it might be a bit too "shootery" for me. Hope it has some depth to it.

    I hope to get around to it, and I'd probably get around to it quicker if the quarter wasn't packed with so many other incredible looking titles, but I'm still a little worried it'll end up being more of an awesome tech-demo than an awesome game.

    I like id Software but my computer is too weak for Rage and I got a lot of other games to play so I will most likely buy it on PS3 or Xbox 360 later when the price drops.

    I'm really excited for this. Just a week left! Crazy that Batman comes out a week or two after. Too many AAA titles!
