Rage

[MaximusR3]

The creators of such defining games as Doom, Quake, and Wolfenstein, who literally single-handedly shaped the future of the FPS genre, id software brings you their next title: Rage


Rage is built on a brand new graphics engine and the footage they've showed off at E3 is pretty remarkable. It will be on PC and PS3 as well but the demo was shown on the XBOX360 and i do not exaggerate when i say this game looked better than anything i've seen played on a 360 up to this point. I wish i had a computer that could actually view HD videos so i could watch the full HD footage but even with my SD TV i could tell it looked very impressive.

Not too much details out yet, the single player story involves a world that has been devastated by a giant meteor collision with the planet. The first part of the demo G4 covered reminded me a bit of Borderlands as far as the atmosphere. id has made some epic games in the past and i have high hopes in this one too.

Here's more on Rage from USA Today's Tech section:


E3 2010: Bethesda, id unleash 'Rage'

The winner for coolest demo weapon at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo has to go to Rage, the first-person shooter from Bethesda Softworks and studio id Software.

More on this in a moment. First, here's what Rage is all about: humans face extinction as an asteroid hurls toward Earth. To help preserve mankind, leaders take a group of humans and bury them beneath the planet surface in pods. The player's character leaves his pod and ventures out into a post-impact world.

Rage takes place within an open-world structure, so players have freedom to roam and select a series of missions. The first mission developers demonstrate features the town of Wellspring, as players aid an inhabitant responsible for the water supply. A gang is attempting to poison the water with toxins, and you must stop them.

The demo shifts to players moving through a series of tunnels to the enemy stronghold so they can thwart their efforts. As the lead character draws closer, he finds a room with about three enemies.

Cue up E3's coolest weapon, a radio-controlled car bomb. Setting it on the ground, the player drives it into the room and blows up everyone inside.

Players will have a variety of standard firearms such as machine guns and pistols to choose from. They'll also have gear such as sentry bots, a high-tech crossbow that shoots electrically charged bolts and a boomerang style device called the wingstick, which looks like the glaive weapon in Dark Sector.

Although it was not featured in the demo, Rage will also emphasize vehicular combat. Players can snag their own "super buggy," according to Bethesda, and outfit it with special parts and weapons.

Rage looks fantastic and combat seems intense. But with similar open-world shooters such as Borderlands and Bethesda's own Fallout series, I'm curious to see what id Software does to differentiate Rage from the pack.

The game will be available for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2011.

Though Rage is filled to the brim with a wide variety of gameplay options and boasts some visuals that might be able to take down some high-powered PCs, many are focusing on a recent reveal that Rage takes only about 15 hours to complete

Still, 15 hours of content in many gamers’ books would be considered a very solid offering — as most triple-A titles clock in somewhere between 8 and 10 hours. What most people seem to be latching onto isn’t just that the game takes 15 hours to complete, but that the Xbox 360 version will span two discs – usually an indicator of a very meaty game experience.

Being an open-world game, however, gamers should expect that side quests and plenty of opportunities for exploration will help bolster that play time considerably.

RAGE promises to deliver a unique multiplayer experience that combines the best of both vehicular combat and run-and-gun shooting. The game’s flagship multiplayer mode is called Rage Combat Rally. Creative Director Tom Willits promises that the mode will do away with the typical “drive forth and kill” tactics that such games typically employ.

Rage Combat Rally supports four players, and the developers are working towards six, but we can only see if it works as a part of the final game. Match time, which is user-adjustable, is approximately three minutes. As for the actual game, it is a combination of classic deathmatch and the Race game type seen in Halo. Aside from killing enemies, players will score points by driving through rally points, which grant multipliers for the overall score. There are several variants on the mode which each carry different victory conditions: Team Rally, Chain Rally, and Vehicle Deathmatch. RAGE will make use of stats and a persistent profile to detail level progression and unlock more vehicles, weapons, and upgrades. The game is set to ship with at least five Rage Combat Rally maps, with DLC being a very likely option for more maps in the future.

In addition to multiplayer, RAGE, will feature a co-op mode in the style of Modern Warfare’s Spec Ops mode. Instead of just dumping more players into a campaign designed for one player, the game will feature a mode dubbed Legends of the Wasteland in which players get to play out legendary missions as characters mentioned in Rage’s single player mode.
Gamers who pre-order can get the Rage: Anarchy Edition, and with it some gear, weapons, and a mission. The Anarchy Edition also comes with a Double Barrel Shotgun, the Fists of RAGE (not your regulation boxing gloves), a custom vehicle called the Rat Rod Buggy, and a set of Crimson Elite armor. The bonus mission is called Wasteland Sewer, though we’re left in the dark as to what that mission is.
