RAGE Trailer

The RAGE Website notes a new Arsenal Gameplay Montage trailer on GameTrailers.com showing off the weapons in id Software's upcoming first-person shooter. Included are a couple of machine guns, an unattended turret, a boomerang dealie, a shotgun (of course), and more. There is also a warning to watch your back in the sewers, followed by footage of nothing but frontal assaults from the sewer denizens. Thanks Bill.

Completely agree that this is Borderlands all over again. I actually prefer BL's cartoon/comic art to ID's rage "realism" at the moment.

I am sure Rage is a great engine, so maybe we will see a better game come from it.

Yeah this game looks so generic and uninspiring that I couldn't believe it got Best of E3.
"Borderlands HD" comment was spot on. I felt exact the same.

Yeah I'd have to agree with that. Rage looks like Borderlands except that you only have the racing and wonky shooting mechanics all game long.

I just don't understand why they use console gameplay for demo footage, the aiming is so horribly stilted it's a major turnoff.
My thoughts exactly. Why not show the PC version? These companies have proven in the past they have no shame in false advertising, so let the naive console fans believe they're getting an awesome looking game with fluid, fast movement and let us get a feel for how a shooter should really look/feel.

No. Instead, we get to see a stiff representation of the newest id shooter. Aside from the visuals, it looked repetitive and uninventive to boot. Like an HD Borderlands, probably minus weapon stats and variety.

Looks extremely generic. I love the way everyone just runs straight at you, and the way they start recycling scenes/locations halfway through the video.

Just wondering what FPS game has been made in the last five or seven years is really 'amazing'. I'll take 'half decent' but I think I've played them all.


Can't think of anything that pops off the top of my head...in fact, thiking about what I have installed and played over the last 5-7 years...I think I might be hard pressed to think of a game I have finished....other than Portal multiple times and the L4D games.

hmmm...the enemies appears to almost "glide" across the surface...not sure if that is on purpose or what the deal is.

I guess watching what they are offering thus far, I am not impressed at all. I would think they would want to really show something amazing....which I don't see.

I'll take it even if it is as Mediocre as D3 or Q4. I've been trying to get through Crysis 2 and it just feels consolized and boring like all of the other modern shooters I never seem to finish. A straight ahead, solid FPS would be fun. I'm not sure why it's so difficult to build one these days.

Also, the soundtrack had a good Sonic Mayhem vibe to it, wonder if it's them?

I seriously doubt it's an engine limitation. Hardware limitation possibly.

TBH I thought it looked OK. I'm in the mood for a mindless shooter though.

* The scenery and lighting look fantastic

* It's concerning that the trailer shows the exact same mutant getting killed a dozen times or more. It looks like he's always charging at the player in the exact same pose, too, with that spiked club held high in its right hand.

* The animations looked sub-par, no more advanced than Doom 3's. Is there a difference between the PC and console animation systems? Maybe I've been spoiled by Valve games recently... it just seemed like outdated technology.

* The trailer didn't show anything exciting. Shoot a mutant with this gun. Shoot another mutant (probably the same mutant) with a different gun. Zoom in, shoot another mutant. Meh.

* I don't remember seeing more than two or three mutants together in any particular fight. I hope this isn't an indication of serious engine limitations.

I suspect it was just a case of the technology limiting them coupled with 3D being a new thing, but I love the physical interaction with the world, the more angular architecture, focusing on vertical gameplay/mechanics, the mixing of fantasy with technology, a stronger soundtrack, much more varied settings from act to act, etc.

Wait, what? Quake had varied settings? Everything looked pretty much the same to me. In my mind, Quake has always been about MP. That's why Q3 is my favorite in the series.

All Quake was, was a bunch of levels put together with a 'story' connecting it together (quote the id team in many interviews).

Indeed. The monster closet + forcing you to chose between flashlight or a weapon game design was terrible. I think I saw some carnie closets in the video, uh oh.

Doom 3 wasn't THAT bad. Granted it wasn't great either, but it's better than some of the shit that comes out nowadays. I've been playing AVP, the marine campaign... and for some reason I just can't get into it... and I'm not sure why. That said, I'd rather play Doom 3.

I wish someone would do a GOOD remake of Doom 1 and 2... as in professional models / animations... the maps have already been done well enough... but the amateur 3D character models are awful.

Anyway... as for Rage... we'll see... it looks more fun than AVP, at this point.

Definitely will wait on purchase after watching this. Hopefully mods can spice up the visuals and gameplay a bit above standard.

Looks very Borderlands right down to the weapon styling.
I hope unlike Borderlands the guns have some character.


Even looked like it had a Mad Moxxi's style arena with a timer....this game looks cool - had it come out BEFORE Borderlands.

Yes the baddies mostly run at you but it wouldn't feel like an ID game if they didn't.
Makes a nice change from a COD game that will not let the game continue because you have not done their pick up the RPG scripted bit.

+1 for Quake1 as best SP. I was late to gaming and it was my first shooter game,it scared the shit out of me.
