I don't like FPS but I like Carmack's public geekery, what to do ???
Where is this $40?
isn't that one of those russian key sites that will get my steam account banned?

There's an interesting interview with the RAAAAAAAAGE guys here, the interviewer tries to rake them over the coals pretty bad, interesting how they respond

its great that an interviewer takes the opportunity to bring up criticisms he has with the game, but it's all ruined because he's condescending about it and focuses on stupid shit. yeah the narritive's generic, but why spend 1/4 of the interview bitching about how it's limited by the lack of dialog trees and a silent protaganist? it's fucking childish. just say what you want to say ffs

Haha, this was a good interview. I'm surprised he didn't pull any punche--Quoteby Brandon Sheffield
Oh. He's actually fairly respectable.
that interview was hilarious, y'all need to stop acting like nintardsYeah I read the article and I think we've been simply lulled into unconsciousness by how boring and kiss-ass most gaming press and media are. I didn't think anything there was especially rude or harsh. I think that's probably the appropriate level of asking questions towards any game.
ZOMG YOUR GAME LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE BORDERLANDS WHY IS THAT?!?!?!?!?
Hows the performance on PC?
still pre-loading nooooo! download so huge

Everyone, make sure you have latest Nvidia/Ati drivers to play Rage!

The PC version of Rage crashes every single time I try to save. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
Im not having problems with stability or performance- that said, not the best looking game in the world- so spoiled by crytek and frostbite.
The game itself is pretty fun, but the PC is big 'ol pile of WTF.
-Lots of random crashes
-Freezes at save
-Pressing ESC exits the current game and goes back to the main menu [causing you to lose unsaved data]
-Sometimes the textures won't load at all, resulting in a void with a few textures/objects scattered here and there
Really, id? REALLY? This is a mess, I'm stunned that id didn't know about this [or did know and released it anyway]. DEAD ISLAND wasn't this bad.
The Giantbomb quick look had a lot of praise for a game that didn't look that great. the final line was "Call of Duty in Fallout environments" and that kinda knocked the wind out. I don't know how apt that comparison is, though two people agreed, but I don't like Call of duty single player.

Its nothing like call of duty or fallout.

Both have dynamic scaling. Looks like it's just in the horizontal dimension. In these particular shots, the engine has gone down to 1152x720 for 360 and 640x720 on PS3.
someone hasn't played Oblivion, Fallout 3 or New Vegasspoiler (click to show/hide)Morrowind, Daggerfall, etc etc[close]
But all of those games issues add to their charm in a way. Tho, I had no issues with F3 and NV outside of Liberty Prime's A.I. constantly breaking.
Brink, Hunted: The Demons Forge and the PC version of rage just seem fucking BROKEN.
I've had a vault boy bobblehead on my desk since I got it with Fallout 3 :heart
PC version is 18 gigs >.>
that's a lot of fucking GB to download for a 9 hour game
The other alternative is to email them back with my STEAM username/password and they will activate the game themselves.
That's kind of really shady.
That's kind of really shady.
EXACTLY.
No fucking way! :rofl
Maybe they should price drop faster.
$60 for most games around release fucking sucks. $35 seems more appealing, even if it is fucking shady.
I picked up Rage on D2D for $45; Dead Island and Deus Ex: Human Revolution on Green Man Gaming for $35. And I didn't have to deal with shady Russian keys.
i bought red orchestra 2 from getgamesgo (eurogamer's DD service) for $25, and i bought mafia 2 from ebay (it was a pic of the download code card you got when you bought certain nvidia cards back then) for $15
those are the only times i've bought from anywhere other than steam or retail
hopefully i don't get red orchestra pulled, but getgamesgo is a legit site and they even asked what region i was from so i think i am okay there
the mafia 2 thing was just some dude selling a download code for a game he already owned or wasn't interested in, probably

I'm pretty sure you're okay on both fronts there. It's mainly codes from smaller markets where prices are super-low [Russia, for instance], and require using a VPN to activate, that can get you into trouble.
I think the low prices in Eastern Europe are a way to get pirates to go legit
how's that working out

Textures are really bad
IntKeys sent me the DLC key and not the game key. So i emailed their admins to advise. Apparently they aren't "in" right now.
fingers crossed.

Textures are really bad
Yeah, basically what the engine does is allow them to have the textures at the same quality whether camera is right in front of them or looking at them from across hundreds of feet of open desert.

Wait, how did John Carmack, the most intelligent programmer alive, think this would be a good idea? Level of detail is there for a reason. If everything is MAX TEXTURE no matter how close or far, you're going to kill performance. Otoh if it's less than that you'll never get the sharp MAX TEXTURE in that 2-10 feet range where you normally do with a standard LoD. It's a lose/lose situation. I don't really get what his goal was in making an engine like that. ???
Is this a joke? How do I get to that?

I'm really glad I bought this, extremely fun with no stupid emphasis on story to bog it down.
Played the PS3 version for a little bit last night. The way the textures have to load a little more detail when you get in close is annoying. The game strikes me as just "all right." It's like playing a simplified/streamlined Fallout 3 with outdated corridor shooting mechanics. Hope the driving stuff is more interesting.

Fallout 3 is an rpg with awful awful awful shooting mechanics and almost no level design.
Rage is an FPS with level design.
They don't seem very comparable to me.

"We do not see the PC as the leading platform for games," Carmack added. "That statement will enrage some people, but it is hard to characterize it otherwise; both console versions will have larger audiences than the PC version. A high end PC is nearly 10 times as powerful as a console, and we could unquestionably provide a better experience if we chose that as our design point and we were able to expend the same amount of resources on it. Nowadays most of the quality of a game comes from the development effort put into it, not the technology it runs on. A game built with a tenth the resources on a platform 10 times as powerful would be an inferior product in almost all cases."

Lulz.
Carmack giving REAL TALK!
I don't see what the controversial part is. He's just telling us what we already know: that the PS3 and 360 are powered by old, shitty tech but you still have to release games on them if you wanna make the most money. Who can argue with that?
Didn't know this was 60fps.

Just got to Subway town. I'm really enjoying the game but I do wish the story was better. Especially since the voice acting is, in my opinion, pretty solid.
Do these crystals ever become worth more than $25? The guy in the beginning of the game told me they were super valuable so Ive been hoarding them.
I think they tried to reach too far and just didn't have the man-power to get there. If you watch the credits, the actual id team is really SMALL.

No outsourcing?
Strogg? REALLY? :hyper
No, they're like cyborg mutants or whatever (barely explained) but the look like strogg.
$4.99? That's how much I paid for the game in the first place!
