Does Rage seem awfully familiar?

Seems familiar to id Software's Rage.

Rage has much more of a MAD MAX feel too it, which is what i want when i think of post-apocalyptic stuff.

Fallout+vehicles=Rage

If they get the shooting right, why does this have to a bad thing?

Is it just me or does Rage look alot like the Fallout games. the Ark [Vault] The Ark Suit [Vault Suit] and alot to do about living after the apocalypse with some mutated humans that could be stand-ins for ghouls or super mutants.

Is that it? No picture comparison? No actual facts about either of the games? How can you say they are "awfully similar"? Thats just like saying Resident evil and Left 4 Dead are similar as they both include zombies.

I'm not saying it won't be fun, which I'm sure it will be.

Rage is an engine that will be used to make far more compelling games just like how Doom 3 was a game engine that used a by the numbers corridor fest to demonstrate it's ability to be super dark.

I jest really iD has yet to make a game I loathed and I'm sure that Rage will be a perfectly enjoyable game.

iD is making Rage, not Valve. The Ark is a shelter for a meteor collision, not a nuclear apocalypse, The Ark Suit is what gives the player his/her abilities, not just a jump suit to be discarded in favor of a hobo's piss stained jacket. Almost all Post Apoc media involves mutants. And as Hardcore_Gamer said, it's very action orientated, not RPG orientated. Oh, and you forgot to mention the Vehicular part of the game, which is kinda, you know... Half of the fucking game. Research your arguments before you end up looking like a douche again.

Relax already.. He was just asking a question which he wanted people to answer >.<


Anyway Rage does seem like a cool game and not akin to fallout 3 i hope

It's a lot more linear than Fallout 3, and less RPG, more FPSAR.

Which, I now proclaim, means "First-Person-Shooter Arcade Racer"
