Bethesda Still Wants RAGE to be All the Rage

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.

It's only "inane" if you're a fucking retard and didn't closely follow Rage and DNF throughout release.
The difference was that people assumed DNF was going to be a turkey. RAGE was actually portrayed as a good game, yet upon release it became clear that id Software had actually lied to gamers.

Remember this? http://icrontic.com/article/why-id-softwares-rage-is-going-to-suck

It's fun going back and reading the stuff people said when these games were about to come out. So many people look like stupid assholes today, especially the DNF/Rage defenders who dominated websites and forums early on. A one year retrospective on the DNF community is hilarious.

I've been saying it for years... id doesn't make video games anymore, they make glorified tech demos. Hell, even RAGE wasn't that great as a tech demo. The megatexture/virtual texturing idea failed (having "unqiue" textures doesn't mean shit if they look like ass), and the rest of the lighting and effects aren't any better than what Frostbite 2 and CryENGINE 2 are currently doing. I would say id should just quit while they were ahead, but they haven't been ahead in a long time.
