  Man this game looks exceptional, and doing so with a nice 60 fps.  If you're worried about spoilers I suggest watching at least the first cutscene, its very well done and I thought set the tone of the game quite well.  Its a bit slow but then again it is the very beginning and this guy is interested in picking up anything he can.  Anywho, I shall add some small bullet points for people who would like to stay spoiler free.
 

• Game looks fantastic (obviously)
• Seems to be very smooth 60 frames as promised
• Saw a bit of texture pop in but it was very minimal
• Gunplay looks very satisfying, even the starting pistol has a nice loud sound effect to go with every shot to make it seem more impactful
• To further improve my previous point, enemies seem to react well to where you shoot them and such.
• From the moments of gunplay, the A.I seemed very unpredictable and had a nice agility to them, making them a fun enemy to fight ( or at least I think they will)
  
• LOTS OF STUFF TO PICK UP
• Game looks fantastic (obviously)

just bumpin so more can see. Chances are next comment wont come for 20 minutes or so!

Oh man, 3:35 scared me.

Wow this looks even better than I expected, and I expected it to be great.

That doesn't look like a game for me. It seems like Carmack, as expected from hearing him talk about it, spent a little too much time trying to cram pixels in there instead of cramming in some fun or gameplay too. Is he trying to replicate Doom 3, the previous game developed by id? Even as a technical director, he should know better. It seems a little like the gunplay of Bioshock was mixed with the design of Far Cry 2 - not a good combination in my opinion.

Thoughts from the video:

• Opening cutscene looks nice
• Lots of pop in =|
• The story seems fairly thin and incoherent
• Defibrillator minigame seems really frustrating :(
• I like the colours and lighting.
• Gameplay seems good enough.
• The game comes across as very console-centric...

Oh, shit! It's John Goodman.

As for the game itself, however… totally seems like Borderlands Jr.

Ah, I've been waiting for this. And c'mon guys, there is a parallel between the art directions in Rage and Borderlands but they've both definitly got a different tone.

god i want this game.

good "quick look" hahaha

also this is like fallout but it looks good.

and probably plays a bit better

Is it me or is John Goodman a damn good voice actor? His performance really helps me believe in the world that they made.

Already five minutes in I can tell what's going on and what's going to happen at some point in the game. Obviously he's been in cryo set on the planet for a long time, even longer than John Goodman's character has been alive, and at some point, the main character will be blamed that he was the one that made the planet turn into the shit it is. I'll keep on watching, maybe it already says in the video. I don't know.

I'll get it when it's cheap easily but nothing I saw there really sold me on anything.

Ugh... silent protagonists suuuuuck. Really dumb how he says arc survivors are worth a lot and then sends you out on your own to clear out an encampment with just a pistol (shotgun is the LE code). And how he says you stand out with your suit yet the bandits didn't do anything at the checkpoint. And how the eff did he know you were waking up there (I'm sure it'll be explained that he woke you up). Narration looks terrible.

@NTM: YouTube has a 30fps cap. Don't call Carmack a liar.

@Mentalnova: No I know, I actually forgot. I know it runs in 60 frames per second, and didn't think it runs in 30 because of the video, I just forgot.

youtube video doesn't do it justice, it automatically adjusts framerate to 30fps.  It'll look alot smoother while playing the game.

I'm so happy the PS3 version turned out well. Defiantly getting this when I get a new TV.

Though I am truly against arguing peoples opinions because well they are opinions, I find some of your stuff a little off
1. Yes there is pop in but not in any way near something like gears of war or Blands
2. the defib game alll you do is press that way on the sticks and then r2/l2. Maybe rough first 1st or 2nd time but seems like a thing you catch onto
3. Although the story might not be great, you cant exactly tell 20 minute in.
Again I respect your opinions Im just giving you my rebuttal.

The one thing I really disagree with is the gameplay. The gunplay looks extremely solid to me and thats no surprise considering ids track record

• Pop-in wasn't particularly nice in Borderlands either and I would like to think id are a lot more competent than Gearbox.
• About the story: what I could tell is that some guy was released from a stasis chamber, found by another guy and transported in a completely open buggy. The rescuer then acts surprised that people can see the guy he's trying to hide, even though he's clearly visible in plain sight and wearing conspicuous clothing. And now you just have to go kill everyone.
• I agree that the gameplay looks solid, but I can't say it exactly looks exceptional in any way...

Man, this looks good. Tuesday can't come soon enough

 I just realized i had 2.666 posts, need to change it stat.
Edit: Ahhh, much better.

Video is gone now. I regret not watching. >_>
