id released a game in the last decade? When did this happen?RyanDodd said:
I kid, but it has been quite a while since their last game, Doom 3... and they've been in the corridor shooter since Wolfenstein.
My gut feeling is that it's not going to be particularly notable. Since Bungie stripped them of the sci-fi multi-player shooter crown, this game is going to have to stand on its single-player in a way they haven't had to deal with since the early Doom days. id can usually be counted on to deliver good gun-play, but have never been particularly good at creating worlds. Unless they've added some star talent since Doom 3, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the missions in Rage are on the bland side.
I pre-ordered this because a co-worker is really excited about it and I'll probably be doing some co-op with him... but I'm dialing expectations down on this one.
From what I've seen of RAGE so far, I'm not too impressed. The trailers just don't look like anything special to me. On the other hand, I strongly believe judging games from trailers, even if they are gameplay footage, is useless, and for some reason I think the game is actually going to be better than it looks to me at this point. Maybe I just have a lot of faith in ID.
I enjoyed DOOM3, by the way. Not what I was expecting from a DOOM game, but still a solid game.
Don't go expecting Fallout because it's far from it.
I would say the best way to imagine it is Borderlands mixed with Bioshock, the game looks very solid but how far the story extends is still very questionable.

^Looks like some guy who hasn't even looked at a proper trailer.This one guy said:
One game was a linear corridor shooter with some limited exploration and a ridiculous number of monster closets.
The other game is a fairly open-world post-apocalyptic adventure shooter with vehicles, all kinds of crazy weapons, and a ridiculous level of environmental detail.
It looks to be fantastic. But the way the company is approaching used game sales with locking content is terrible IMO. I actually am going to buy it used because of what they are doing.
I think it will be pretty fun, and I've been waiting for it for 4 years. Plus it doesn't have the insane amount of hype it will never live up to like Skyrim does (and Halo did).
Rage looks like a solid and well executed shooter, at least in terms of gameplay.
However, I strongly suspect that the story and characters will be absolute pants.
I might grab it if there's nothing else coming out when it does, otherwise I'll snag it when it gets cheap.

i hope not.
i think behind rage is a concerted effort to learn from mistakes and that is a methodology i can get behind.
but aside from what id are learning to do i know what they can do so it won't suck as badly as recent attempts to reinvigorate entities from the last decades golden age of shooters.
plus i'm loving the attemnion payed to NPC's and enemies, also is that john goodmans voice?
Edit; i wonder deus ex fans think i meant Human revolution

GameFly should be shipping it to me... so I'm not sure.
I would say though that I'm skeptical for it... seeing as how we just played Fallout and that stuff.
ALTHOUGH I like the concept of the "Authority" if that "generic" thing wasn't included I might very well not want to just play in a tribalistic looking war scene. STILL I hope they appear often and in an interesting way.
LIKE THE ENCLAVE!
Oh wait... the Enclave... the Authority... I wonder.

I'm also thinking of getting this game with my pre-order going online in a few days and i also heard Steve blum's voice in that video you linked which means my purchase for this game is now a solid one.Cowabungaa said:
I also loved the most of the previous Doom and Quake games so that's another reason for me to buy the game.
Doom 3 sold well and was received well. I enjoyed it immensely and I know many, many other people did too.tzimize said:
ID has given Rage a lot of depth in its gameplay from I've seen, heard and read. Also, helps that it looks stunning.
There are no comparisons that can be drawn from F3, really. The similarities end with 'post-apocalyptic'.
