Rage(new trailer)

[maxy]

From GameInformer

- Open World FPS using Id's new Tech 5 engine.

-Takes place 80 years after a devastating asteroid collides with earth and kills most of civilization.

-The player controls a character that was part of Project Eden, a program that buried hundreds of pods or "arks" containing 12 people in cryosleep that would aid in rebuilding society once they emerge from cryosleep. The players ark opens sooner than it was supposed to due to an earthquake.

-The asteroid caused mutations to some people so there will be mutants and stuff.

-You get a vehicle that you get to keep throughout the whole game (it appears that way anyways), that you can upgrade and personalize. "Unlike in other games where vehicles are disposable, in Rage, we want your vehicle to be an extension of you first-person avatar".

-The hero will be a nameless silent protagonist.

-There appears to be quest like structure to the game, you get quests from people and complete them.

-No good/evil mechanic in the game.

-You can build stuff like weapons and sentry bots with an engineering mechanic, or you can purchase them.

-Regeneration health system so no med packs.

-There are races that you can compete in to get certificates used to purchase exclusive upgrades and parts. There will also be race leaderboards. You can do vehicle combat during the races as well and get bonuses for destroying opponents.

-There will be the ability to play stealthy if that's what you prefer over guns blazing. The article describes a mission that involves guiding a remote control car with a bomb on it to infiltrate an enemy hideout.

-There is a show called Mutant Bash TV that you can participate in, it's like a battle arena that is televised.

Sounds interesting...

[maxy]

More info

"A deep parts system allows players to bump up stats like acceleration, suspension, and traction. Other tweaks include boost upgrades,a magnet that draws power ups towards your vehicle, and new combat options like tire rippers, bombs and EMP shields."

There is mention of Shotguns, Assault Rifles, Grenades, the aforemention sentry bots, and the wingstick (tri tipped boomarang), a screenshot shows a pistol of some sort. Mention of a crossbow that shoots a projectile that can used to control the enemy briefly before exploding. They also mention the ability to earn new types of ammo and weapon upgrades like "scopes and aiming stabilizers".

Guy in the top right corner looks like some sleazy merchant.

[Great Rumbler]

Looks and sounds very Fallout-ish, not that I have any problem with that.

[The Fake Shemp]

Sounds like total shit.

Can't wait for someone to make a good game with the engine.

[Rman]

Kinda not excited for this.  Oh well.

[Van Cruncheon]

looks tremendously dull -- like jak 3 with amoeba people

i'll wait for fallout 4 on this engine, thanks

[The Fake Shemp]

So basically, you'll wait forever?

Uh, yeah, whatever:

i'll wait for fallout 4 on this engine, thanks

Ding!  Did you forget about this, ParticleReality?

I think it sounds great and looks orgasmic. The world needs more post-apocalyptic games.

You are like, fourteen-years-old, so I'd expect this to hit your demographic.  Looks like poop.

[cool breeze]

The old footage looked great, the new info makes it sound boring, but new footage might get me more excited.  I really just care more about the tech.  UE3 sucks and more games should use this engine because Carmack is a beast.

>Gamebryo
>worked very well

 

[The Fake Shemp]

I am pretty sure that have access to id tech is one of the reasons the company was scooped up.

And are you insane?  Has id made a great - nay, good! - game since Quake II?  Not really.

[demi]

You're on a troll emergency or what?

Quake 3.

lol, nope

[The Fake Shemp]

Wow, Borys actually says they've only been irrelevant as a game developer for ten years rather than the twelve I initially projected.

The fact is Quake III Arena wasn't even the best multiplayer shooter released that month.

id has been a mediocre developer pushing awesome tech for over a decade now.

Nobody cares about their games.

[demi]

But guys Carmack coded doom for iphone by himself they are amazing developers

Rage will make Fallout 3 look like Oblivion. Haters will be drizzled in the jizzum of John Carmack in 2010.

I find interesting that Rage has a lot RPG elements and id was bought by Bethesda.
Hmm...

[BlueTsunami]

Fallout 4 powered by Rage = 

Seeing how this game looks, I wouldn't be surprised if Fallout 4 was brought back to the desert setting.

[Brehvolution]

In Carmack I trust.

[chronovore]

So, in summary:
post-apocalyptic setting
races
races with combat
customizable car which is part of the experience/cash progression

...Waitaminnit, did I just finally get my Autoduel remake? From iD?

[chronovore]

http://www.insidetech.com/news/articles/4382-john-carmack-personally-ports-wolfenstein-3d-to-iphone

That's a cool article. Carmack is a stud, even now. Shaves 2 months of dev time off, does it in 4 days... probably one-handed. (yeah I RTFA'd, I saw he had help -- "hey, bring me my coffee!")

New trailer


http://www.eurogamer.pt/videos/rage-novo-trailer?size=large

[maxy]

The Xbox 360 and PC versions of id's Rage sport higher framerates than the PlayStation 3 version, the latest issue of Edge magazine reveals.

In a ten-page reveal in its latest issue, Edge writes that the Xbox 360 version of Rage - which uses id's new Tech 5 engine - matches the 60fps framerate of the PC version, while PS3 runs at just "20-30fps".

It's not mentioned whether the PS3 framerate will be addressed by the game's eventual release.

"The PS3 lags a little bit behind in terms of getting the performance out of it," John Carmack told Edge. "The rasteriser is just a little bit slower - no two ways about that.

"The RSX is slower than what we have in the 360. The CPU is about the same, but the 360 makes it easier to split things off, and that's what a lot of the work has been, splitting it all into jobs on the PS3," he said.

I just can't believe I can now play games like this.  :'(

Been looking for to this for a while. I got the Game Informer cover and I can't wait.

are you gonna buy all multi-console games on PC now?

[Himu]

Depends on the type. PS3 will be my multiconsole system if the game's not on pc or it'd benefit more from a controller, while PC will be for the stuff that doesn't show up on consoles or multiconsole games that'd benefit from being on pc. I mean, pc games in general are cheaper than console games right? You'd have to dumb to have a capable computer and not get the pc version if it's not full of bugs and stuff.

[Himu]

Yeah, that's what the ps3 is for!

you should pick up either a wired 360 controller or a wireless 360 combo + pc wireless adapter combo for the games that are better with a controller.  Most games these days have profiles built for the 360 controller and will even replace the normal key commands with 360 buttons in the interface.  Depending on how good your TV is, I would also suggest finding a way to output video on that if you still want comfy couches and all that.  Unless I'm playing something that is better with kb/m, I usually play the games on my bigger TV and use my wireless 360 or madcatz fightpad.

[duckman2000]

So you are some space marine dude beating shit up again? That's fine, but does anyone know if the whole car racing and exploration thing is still a big part of it?

[Herr Mafflard]

So you are some space marine dude beating shit up again? That's fine, but does anyone know if the whole car racing and exploration thing is still a big part of it?

No space marine. Like Fallout 3, you emerge from an underground safe-haven after an asteroid hits Earth and basically leaves the whole place a barren wasteland.     

It's not really open world in the sense that you can get 15 quests at one time from different NPCs, like Fallout 3. You always know what you are supposed to be doing, and while driving the landscape, you can collect junk to make special items and and custom weapons (similar to Fallout 3). 

In terms of other rpg aspects, instead of customizing your character, it mainly consists of upgrading and kitting out your car. So, you'll start out with a quad bike and work your way up to a buggy, muscle car etc. 

I haven't read much about the racing, but apparently it's an "FPS first", and that you'll be blowing a lot of shit up while racing.

the jak 3 comparison is spot on

[Human Snorenado]

It's awesome. id is awesome. Fuck you guys, I'm going to the park.

When you get there, make sure you tell himu that using the PS3 for multiplatform stuff is about the dumbest thing he's said in months, which for him is quite the accomplishment.

[Great Rumbler]

Here's some quick notes from the Rage demonstration:

-Graphics are WOW. Maybe even Crysis good
-Worlds looks and feels a lot like Fallout, but maybe with a bit more life to it
-Fallout 3 was about 75% RPG and 25% FPS, Rage looks to be about 75% FPS and 25% RPG
-Nothing shown about characters stats/levelling
-You start out with a four-wheeler, and move your way up to dune buggies and cars. According to the developer, it's a challenge to get new and better vehicles.
-Lots of vehicle customization: different types of vehicles and weapons
-NPC voice acting and animation completely blow Fallout 3 out of the water
-Lots of vehicular combat
-You can use parts collected in the world to make bomb-carrying RC cars, turrets, and spider sentries and other things
-MUTANT BASH TV
-BOOMERANGS and THROWING KNIVES
-World looks to be built around moving from place to place using your vehicle
-When you travel, bandit gangs will attack you in there vehicles
-Self-shadowing is really good looking

It looked really, really good.

[Great Rumbler]

Did they demo the PC version?

They were playing the PC version with Xbox360 controller.

[Himu]

this shit reminds me of jak 3 as well

[Himu]

why the fuck not?

It totally depends on the game. I'd much rather get, for instance, SF4 or Blaz Blue on the ps3 than 360 due to the controller. I also risk far less, due to rrod. If a game runs better on the 360, I'll get it on 360. Or pc.

[cool breeze]

Fallout 3 was 25% FPS

[Great Rumbler]

Fallout 3 was 25% FPS

Maybe closer to 67% RPG and 33% FPS, but anyway, Fallout 3 is, at its heart, an RPG. It has FPS mechanics added on, but, aside from the coolness of VATS, it is much less a focus of the game than in a straight-up first-person shooter.

Did you go to quakecon?

Yeah.

Interesting.

I imagine they're doing it that way to make it easier for the guys on stage to demo the game.

You keep telling yourself that there's 3rd party games that look/run better on the PStriple if that's what helps you sleep better at night, but I think we all know the truth.  I mean, if it helps you justify your blu-ray player purchase more, have at it.

[cool breeze]

hey, there are seven games on the PS3 that are objectively better than the 360 version.  Four of those games are from Grin, who recently closed down.  The other three are Alone in the Dark, Burnout Paradise and the upcoming Batman game.  The Batman game is better if only for the exclusive joker levels.  Technically, they're pretty much the same.

I'd rather play it safe on my triple than have my 360 crap out on me.

[Human Snorenado]

JASPER.  F'realz.

[Great Rumbler]

Did you see the brink demo?

Yeah, I posted my impressions of the demonstration in the QuakeCon thread over in Real Talk.

[Dickie Dee]

Although id has fallen hard from their glory days, I'm still cautiously optimistic about this game. If they can deliver on those design elements I can't see it not being good.

[duckman2000]

Looks hot

EA is out as a publisher.

ZENIMAX ACQUIRES RIGHTS TO PUBLISH RAGE

December 15, 2009 (Rockville, MD) – ZeniMax Media Inc., parent company of id Software, announced today that it has picked up the publishing rights for RAGE™, the video game under development at id Software.

RAGE will be published by Bethesda Softworks, another ZeniMax subsidiary. As a result, Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) will not be involved in the sales and marketing of RAGE. The ongoing development of RAGE is unaffected by this development.

Not surprised.

[Great Rumbler]

Should make things a lot smoother for id.

[Stoney Mason]

EA smells a turd

Brutal Legend says hello...

Most likely Bethesda simply paid off EA to gain publishing rights. EA won't get future publishing rights to the series and through their EA partners setup they don't get a crapload of the profit anyway so it was to their benefit to just discard a franchise they won't be a part of in the future.

[Van Cruncheon]

fallout 4 uses rage engine confirmed

elder scrolls 5 better use it too
