Didn't see a topic & I think the only info has been posted in "console wars." There are new images of the game from Quakecon.

Looks awesome. This is how I wanted Fallout to be; much better art-design and graphics. And actual shooter game-play with (so far) enough RPG-element.

Can Id break out of their slump?

**Vandole** · 2011-08-06 05:07

quake 3 arena was the pinnacle of competative 1v1 FPS, so i doubt it sadly

**Lebzile** · 2011-08-06 05:11

Steve Blum is in this? Holy shit.

Also thought I heard the guy who did the voice of Knoxx from BL.

**Lonely** · 2011-08-06 05:53

I wonder how many bugs this game will have in vanilla.

**BadKarma** · 2011-08-06 06:53

Its an Id game so none.

**rezn0r** · 2011-08-06 07:17

i thought this looked awesome last year when details first came out, and i'm surprised to look up the release date and see it already almost being here (october)... i think i'm excited for this. if you have a decent pc, you should go pc, right? i heavily favor consoles except for certain titles in the past year

**izembo** · 2011-08-06 07:20

looked awesome, was excited, then i saw how the multiplayer is and didnt care anymore

**Kaisha** · 2011-08-06 13:52

Is there a limited inventory or something? Was just surprised to see you had to manually pick up ammo in that gameplay video.

Not digging the outdoor scenes, but I like what I'm seeing for the shooting segments.

Spoiler: show

**miokomioko** · 2011-08-06 14:11

I'm honestly not too impressed with much of what I have seen so far outside of the enemy AI and animations. It's looking like a cross between Bioshock and Borderlands while not being as good as either one of them.

Rage takes 21-22GB of disc space when installed on the Xbox 360

John Carmack had a lot to say at this year’s QuakeCon. He almost talked for 90 mins without taking a break, but we know he can do that. However, he also revealed a lot of important information about Rage, and some things that flew past our head. Rage will take approximately 20GB + when installed on the Xbox 360. So, if you’re planning to get the game for the Xbox 360, better check your HDD space.

This is not the first time when an Xbox 360 game had such a ridiculous space requirement for installation. A few games come to mind, namely Final Fantasy XIII, Lost Odyssey, etc.
Carmack also revealed that the Blu Ray has worse latency than the DVD, at least on the PS3. He said, “It’ll be nice when we don’t have that physical element we don’t have to be working around or scheduling around.”

It’s no secret that id is giving priority to the console versions and Carmack mentioned that they are treating the PC as a “muscular” console. He was also amazed at how far PC tech has come.

“I spend a lot of time smiling and being amazed at how much power we have in modern PC’s.”

You can check out Carmack’s Keynote below, and oh, keep a bottle of water with you, since it will take a while.

It's interesting the contrast between what he has to say about the relative power of PCs and consoles. The first time he said it I was all 'HAH TAKE THAT MICHAEL FUCKING PACHTER' but then he started going into the problems of driver abstractions and the depth to which hacks hamstring the true potential of pc graphics performance and I was sad all over again. It's very interesting that he's looking to Intel to standardize the architecture (yeah the same intel integrated graphics that nobody every uses).

It’s all the rage now to punish the used gamer, at least that’s the glass-half-empty view. Rage, on the other hand, is trying a half-full approach and giving those that purchase the game new a booster of single player content that you wouldn’t even miss if you didn’t have access to it. According to id Software Creative Director Tim Willits, you’ll be able to explore sewer sections of the game so long as you don’t opt for a used discount.

“If you bought the game new, that would be open for you. You still have to download it, but you don’t have to pay for it,” Willits said in an interview with Eurogamer. “Those hatches are all over. Most people never find them. But as soon as you do, you’re like, oh. And then you start to look for it. That’s our first-time buyer incentive.”

So it’s subtle, and most players wouldn’t even know they’re lacking content. Well, I guess until now, since once you read about it you’ll try to find it.

“I can tell you, some people will buy Rage, download that, and still never set foot in those things,” Willits said. “They just won’t. I think that’s fair. It’s cool. It’s outside the main path. We’re not detracting from anything. But I know some consumers, when you can’t avoid it, then you get a little touchy subject.”

I know that any jostling of content tends to ruffle gamer feathers, but this seems like the best approach to the issue. Don’t actively punish players with used games, but make sure new players know they’re getting special treatment.

Aside from that, the rest of the interview has some awesome commentary from Willits, who has been around the block a few times. Give it a read, especially if you’re an old id Software fan.

This game would be fun online, the AI looks much too retarded to have any fun with. Other than that it looks like a fun mindless shooting game. I bet it carries a halfway interesting story at least.

**Correction** · 2011-09-16 20:16

Gold

**Militant** · 2011-09-19 20:17

Just saw a commercial on TV for this... and it looked fucking awesome. Looks kind of Borderlands-esque (which I love to death), and I love all things first person shooter not named call of duty.

**Qalbert** · 2011-09-19 20:20

I can't wait for it.
