So many people born about four years ago, don't realize that the post-apocalyptic genre existed before Borderlands or Fallout.
 
"Uh... reminds me of Borderlands"... drools. 
 
WHAT ARE YOU, TEN YEARS OLD??? 
Why don't you visit a video store or pick up a book??? You MIGHT find that Borderlands and Fallout are reworkings of genre tropes that have been used for decades AT LEAST.

Are you kidding me? The one thing that blows me away time and time again is how terrific the character models are and how their realistic their animations are. This is the first time I've noticed how great the game looks overall -those intro shots actually looked real, if only with a very light filter.

I wonder how much story this game will actually have since that's never been a big part of any ID game before. It'll be interesting to see how it turns out.

Yeah, I'm not getting that. I don't know what it is, but this just doesn't strike a chord with me.

Note to  id Software:
 
Save some money guys and remind me about this game after the summer has past. As im too busy looking forward to Homefront, Operation Red River and Crysis 2 to care much about a game that's not coming out until September !!!*
 
*Probably will buy it then as an early Birthday present for myself then tho.

Everytime I see this game I have the same thought, would I like Borderlands as much if it was played seriously...

I may be speaking too soon, but this doesn't look exciting, nor does it look original. There's a lot of games out there that aren't original, but this just doesn't spark anything. Plus, not much of a fan of Fallout, and even less a fan of Borderlands, which this looks like. I'll probably get it anyways.

I have no interest in the driving section.  I wonder if that ruins the entire game for me?

Well, I guess it'll be interesting to see what other devs can do with the game's engine later on.

It looks like Fallen Earth/Borderlands/Fallout.  Now, will it be any good?

I'm not sure why, but I think I've nearly entirely lost interest in this game. It used to seem really cool to me, but its exceedingly long development and apparent lack of originality are starting to put me off. At one point I would have been bristling with excitement after seeing this trailer, but now... I just don't care. Too many excellent games have come and gone in the time Rage has been in the making, and I fear it will feel outdated by the time it finally arrives.

When I read the Bethesda name and heard the guy say "They call this place The Wasteland" I thought this might be an action-FPS Fallout game, but it's supposed to be on some other planet...that is unless at the end there's this "Charlton Heston on the beach at the end of Planet of the Apes" epiphany.  The game looks good but I want to hear more about it from people who've played it.

I don't know what you're talking about. Sure, there was the genre before, but Borderlands and Fallout really moved it forward and made it popular (and good).

@DrJota: 
Comparing the latest game in an established genre to the last game that came out in that genre is not interesting or insightful.
 
"Oh this new racing game reminds me of the  last racing game that I played. "
 
So what??? Who cares?
IF you were literally born two years ago, then Borderlands might seem "ground breaking", but if you think for a minute, you'd realize it is just ANOTHER shooting game set in the post-apocalypse, with Diablo style loot.

@Agent47: 
Rage doesn't have any of the 50's retro technology or cultural references that typify Fallout's style of post apocalyptic FPS.
What Rage and Borderlands and Fallout all share is that they are computer games set in a post apocalyptic setting. 
But Fallout did not invent the genre, and if you would like to claim that it "Pushed the genre forward, and innovated in ways that Rage is imitating," I have yet TO SEE ONE PIECE OF EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THIS CLAIM!

@Old_Corncob: Why are you whiteknighting so hard? Do you think the publishers are going to see your passionate defense of this games originality and send you a free copy or something?

The first thing I thought when this video started playing was "wow this reminds me of Borderlands."  And apparently I'm not the only person who thought that, maybe there is a reason for this phenomenon. Or maybe everyone but you is just picking on Rage for no reason or just to troll Whiskey Media Platinum Poster Old_Corncob69.

Scientists may never know.
