Bethesda Still Wants RAGE to be All the Rage

[Jun 08, 2012, 10:56 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Though there has been no talk of follow-ups to RAGE since the release of id Software's first-person shooter, Bethesda's Pete Hines tells Eurogamer that it's "certainly our hope and certainly our intent" that this becomes a big franchise. "We're looking at doing some things with Rage. But obviously the first thing out of anybody's lips now when we talk about id is not, hey, what else is up with Rage? They're asking the question they've been asking for five years, six years, seven years, which is, where's Doom 4? What about Doom 4?," he explains. "As far as where we are with Rage, the future for that is still TBD." Along the way he addresses other recent rumors to some extent or another, saying DOOM 4 is still in development, and that he can't say whether Human Head has been removed as developer for Prey 2.

I liked it myself, but like I said, I couldn't believe an engine by id could run so badly. I definitely think the game's overall "badness" is exaggerated a bit by some people, but given that this is the same developer that gave us seminal games like Doom and Quake, it's understandable that people would expect a bit more from them. Once I grabbed the latest nVidia driver, Rage actually ran great on my PC (I have an older Core 2 Duo E8400 system w/ 8GB Memory). From interviews done with Carmack, it seems like the driver situation was a total cluster****. iD had been told that drivers that worked properly would be released before the game was, and that didn't happen. As far as FPS' go, I had a lot of fun with it; was certainly far more interesting than the various Call of Duty crap. My only real issue was the lack of an editor; I had gotten so used to that as a given with iD games in the past. I think it was a good game, marred by screwups w/ the editor, the drivers, and bad timing. I don't think it was a great game; certainly not as great as Quake 2 was.
