Better add this trailer to the "gut wrenching scream and fall into distance" page.

Trailer looks slick, Graphics look awesome but Im not ready for another wasteland shooter right now. After all the wasteland shooters Ive played in the last 2 years im still struggling to see how this will be different enough from those games to make it worth a Day 1 purchase.

I look forward to the reviews :)

is it wrong that i'm bummed out that you won't be able to team up with the  authority..but still a neat trailer.
Heh, I was thinking something similar, as in, what makes you so sure I wouldn't go straight to the authority, I mean, they want me anyway, and got all the cool toys, and look clean. Why stay with the dirt farmers?

@vinsanityv22: Fair enough. I missed that last bit. :)   
 
By way of apology, a 240 MS point donation to Citizens United Against Lazy Game Design has been made in your name.
 
I just had to stick up for the genre. I mean, Fallout and Borderlands might be dominant titles, but that doesn't mean they should be the only game in town.  There are far more space stations and alien planets than there are deserts and junkyard shanty towns.
 
More wasteland. More cyberpunk.  
Less aliens, zombies, flak jackets.

To be fair, I cry over zombies, space marines and sh*tty military shooters. Apparently, I'm not being loud enough :D I mean damn, I finished the post you quoted with:
 
"They're all so much better than all the damn military shooters though."
. What does a guy have to do to show his disdain for all the mainstream, creatively bankrupt military shooters and zombie games!?! :)

Can't wait for this to come out, tired of waiting on it to be done as there's something about the way they craft the games at id software that I always love & can enjoy going back to.

I die inside every time I hear steve fucking blums god awful voice in yet another game.

There is hardly any part of me left alive :C

I feel your pain man. He gets on my nerves too. Even Nolan North and Jennifer Hale have cooled it in recent years. 
 
At any rate, I can't wait for Doom 4:) I'm so done with post-apocalypse settings. A hell-infused space station will seem so fresh after Rage. Granted, the game looks great and fun. It just doesn't look fresh or exciting. I mean, between Deus Ex 3's world, Prey 2's, Bioshock Infinite's world and Rage here, Rage loses. Although some of the locales definitely look new and awesome, there's still a whole lot of deserts, mutants and off-road vehicular combat.
 
They're all so much better than all the damn military shooters though.

BTW, are they going to leave anything about this game up to the imagination? I've never seen so many trailers, gameplay vids, interviews, etc. And now SpoilerCon.  
 
Someone not wanting to be spoiled by all this media buzz is going to have to work pretty hard to avoid it all. It's tough to remain blissfully ignorant about this thing.

This looks fun, why all the nitpicky comments? Gamers are a sad lot sometimes, so ready to form opinions without actually playing a game.

You say post-apocalyptic as if it were a bad thing. 
 
It's a selling point, IMO.  How many truly successful games in that genre has there been anyway? Not enough if you ask me.
 
BTW, Borderlands isn't post-apoc, but it is a wasteland game, which is close enough as makes no difference.

@Spoonman671: Had this thought myself, then figured that most resistance fighters probably refer to their antagonists as "the government" anyway.

It's not Fallout 3, it's not Borderlands. 
 
It's a Post Apocalyptic game. Post Apocalyptic fiction is a sub genre.
 
Is Battlefield 3 more Call of Duty because they are both in the Military genre?
 
Broaden those horizons people.

Music had a bit of a NN vibe to it. I hope Reznor works on some video games again. The Quake soundtrack is still pretty cool.

Sons of Liberty, Carbonari, Black Lions... all resistance groups who fought against overwhelming odds that would most assuredly destroy them. Nevertheless, they continued on, proudly under their banner, whether right or wrong.

Apparently, in RAGE, after the asteroid hit the world, all of the creativity was demolished. But no, really, The Resistance is a totally awesome name, yo. Also, that lady is spunky and... err, whats another adjective that accurately describes a possibly too young but still old enough to bang the shit out of type of girl who likes to fight against imperialistic forces?

Oh yeah, scrappy. She's scrappy, too.

God, I can't wait until Borderlands 2.

Oh well. There is something to be said for keeping it simple.

Yeah, they're just boiling down the two most popular archetypes. Might as well be the same names in every game that comes out.

It's kind of funny, actually. If I didn't know better I'd think it was parodic.

These people are living in the post-apocalyptic desert crawling with mutants, they don't have time for nuance. One side tries to establish order and authority to the situation and the other side resists it. I wish these guys were in charge naming factions in the real world.

Wow...I remember when GB did their first report on this game a few years back. I could've cared less, but this really looks spectacular, and doesn't the sound at 2:30 sound like the "Firebots" from the original starcraft.
