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.
If it hasn't been fixed yet, then it might be a while. The evaluation process for patches on consoles tends to take a while. Or who knows, it might be something they can't fix (I kinda doubt that though, this is id we're talking about).
@Hizang: It's really that bad? Man, I was hoping the internet was making it sound worse than it is. My dad bought me a copy of the PS3 version for my birthday, but I haven't had a chance to play it yet (college), so I guess I'm in the same boat (kinda).
@Hizang: Ugh. They better find some way to fix it. Even if it means them convincing Sony to let them do a full game install. I will delete stuff from my hard drive if I have to (but I wanna say I have at least 30 gigs left on my PS3, so I don't think I'd need to).
Well, at least Batman will be out by the next time I'm home, so I can just play that instead if they haven't patched it yet.
@Hizang: Yeah, there's certainly plenty of other games to play until they patch it. I'm just worried that they might not, whether due to technical reasons, or them just saying "The hell with it" and leaving it as it is. They'd better though, or I'll never say a kind word about John Carmack again!
@Hizang: I was just looking over John Carmack's Twitter, and a few days ago he said this, "Kiddodude we don't know of anything we can do to improve ps3 performance much, especially on wasteland. Tight memory, poor IO performance."
Yeah, there was pop in but if you just play the game you get past it. Now I'm not trying to be mean but I didn't really think it was bothersome once you get past the initial, "Oh yeah, there's the texture problems" and you're moving around a level normally. It's a great looking game despite that and pretty fun too.
