RAGE Interview

[Oct 04, 2011, 8:08 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Ars Technica's RAGE review is online, giving id's just-released shooter a pretty good savaging. There's also an interview on Gamasutra on "The Creative Intent of Rage," discussing RAGE with id Software CEO Todd Hollenshead and artist Andy Chang and asking some pointed if not hostile questions about it being similar visually to Borderlands and Fallout, the oddly artistic bandits, its linearity, the lack of meaningful choices, the main characters lack of dialog or context, and more. Thanks ^Drag0n^.

I don't think thats how this works... They indeed have to high-res every texture per level, and re-bake the entire level. Ah whatever, i understand too little about mega-textures to really judge whats wrong here or what isn't. But fact is that for a 20gb game, it looks like true and utter shit, and on PC there is no excuse for that, ID released this like this for PC, a half-assed console port that looks horrible and lacks any modern features (i am not even gonna mention theres no dynamic light-sources in this game, no day and night changes, no parallax mapping, no DX10/11 features (SSAO/HDR/GI/Color mapping) no dynamic destruction...) /Revised this post 3 times now ~.~ This comment was edited on Oct 5, 2011, 12:13.
