    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.

    Blown away by Rage

    I just had my first true experience with Rage.  I truly am amazed with what they have so far.  Driving aside, this game needs to be seen.   Never before has a game been hand crafted like Rage.  Everything is put in the world by an artiest and not just some randomizing program.   ID tech 5 will put ID back on top of the engine world, a spot it hasn't had since Quake.   I for one am happy about that, sooooo tired of Unreal fade in   textures.  Can't believe we have to wait till next year for this game, but it will be worth it.   
     
    If you have not seen anything of this game you owe it to yourself  check it out.

    I was just watching the coverage on G4. The game looks beyond incredible.

    Yeah everything I've seen so far has only made me more excited. It seems that ID is finally taking the time to craft game-play to go along with their amazing tech (yes, forget the original Doom, that was ages ago), rather than letting the tech take the lead, and that's really exciting giving the clearly evident level of talent at the studio.

    "I am consumed by Rage" would have been a much more writerly thread title, on account of the alliteration and such. I'm sending that shit to Nicholson. 
    Rage looks good, iD is good about making engines where things look like they're doing a lot more than they are. I have zero faith that the driving will be excellent, but if its competent and I'm not getting caught on rocks and floating around I'll tolerate it.

    Looks fucking great. I missed that G4 segment, can't wait. 
     
    Just saw that it won IGN's overall Best of E3 award.

    each day of E3 my jaw continues to drop even lower.
     
    day #1: Gears3, Crysis2
    day #2: MK in action
    day #3: Raaaaagggee
     
    if more dev adopts IdTech5 and can produce at least games similar to Rage's quality, we won't be seeing the next generation of consoles 'till Xmas 2013!

    @Bionicicide: 
    Its not that the driving sucks it's just that it looked like diving in a shooter not like it does in say moto storm. (the game Tim Willits said they drew inspiration from)  But its not like we have gotten to really see how the racing looks. 
     
    What i am woundering is, Willits spoke about there being a few clans.  We have the Ghost clan, which are very dynamic,  They can climb and jump in a Parkore style, We have the Gearhead clan, they use gadgets much like what you use.  I wonder how many clans there will be in the game.

    The megatexture thing is excellent. But that's the only real good thing I see about it, other than the 60hz internal speed. I guess I'll have to play it and see.
     
    I LOVE me some open-world shooters. STALKER is my favorite series in a long time. However I don't think this game will deliver the experience I'm looking for.

    I'm not flabbergasted by it or anything. It's certainly taking some of the best aspects of games like Fallout, Borderlands, etc. and mashing them together. And it does look nice graphically. There's nothing remotely revolutionary about it, though. It looks like a decent FPS. I haven't seen enough about the game structure to know if it will really be worth playing. iD has a tendency to not follow-through with their games, and so until I learn more, I'm firmly in the skeptical camp.

    It looks like Borderlands without the RPG elements running on a pretty graphics engine and a faster movement speed. 
     
    It's a good thing I love Borderlands.  = D

    When I saw that one youtube video awhile back with John Carmack telling everyone about the amazing texture system, I knew this was gonna be awesome. After seeing some of that AI in action, I'm officially pumped.

    Well, considering I've been disappointed by id's last two games, and the fact that I can't see what's special about this game, I can't really say I'm excited about it.
    So... meh.

    Thanks for the link.  The driving looks similiar to Borderlands.  I hope there is very little driving in the final game.  Apart from that, Rage looks awesome. "
    This game in general looks similar to Borderlands.
