Rage

[terry78]

There was a thread about this one somewhere, can't seem to locate it though. This one is being released on 10/4, and I am pretty interested considering how long it's been in development.

 

[Soapy]

Rage looks alright, but I think I've had my fill of post apocalyptic fiction for a while.

 

[jacobed]

It looks great and it has John Goodman which is always a plus but its coming out in between Gears and Batman so I'll wait til Christmas

Has anyone seen this TV spot? So awesome.

I freaked out when I saw it on TV coz at around the 0:37 mark I realized it was running at 60fps.

I thought I was the only one excited for this hahah, I'm gonna wait on everything else. Gears and Rage will tide me over until Skyrim.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

The 60fps doesn't mean much to me and in general, I think it's a pretty over-rated aspect over 30. Given the choice of detail VS 60fps I always opt for detail as that has more of an impact over the extra 30fps. Visually, it kinda just looks like what we have seen before in other games. Probably pick it up on a steam sale. I think ID are at there best when they are making super fast arcade shooters. Doom 3 was 90% hyped on graphics and it basically amounted to a fairly reptitive, boring game. Return to Castle Wolfenstein on the other hand was freaking awsome. Likewise with Quake 3 and there older games. This game doesn't really look like those games, alot slower.

Dude, what's slow about racing dune buggies? lol. Anyways hahah yeah I get a hard-on for anything that runs at 60 fps, the slight difference is very obvious to me.

 

[jacobed]

The difference is huge for me. Play a game at 60 then go to 30 and it feels so awkward and slow

 

[Soapy]

I agree. With some games it doesn't matter, but in general I'll take 60fps over extra detail any day of the week.

This my surprise game this weekend. The enemy reactions to gun fire a really good. Got told it will be on 3 discs on the 360 by good old bethisda too

 

[Havok83]

Rage will be three discs on Xbox 360 and an 8GB install on PlayStation 3, creative director Tim Willits has confirmed.

In an interview at this weekend's Eurogamer Expo, Willits told Digital Foundry about working with Sony to make that size manageable.

"Sony was great. Kudos to Sony for letting us do that. They don't allow every game to do that. So definitely, hats off," he said. "What we were able to do is install all the textures to the highest level. What is nice about the PS3 platform is that it's just one platform. Everyone has one Blu-ray drive, one hard drive, it's all the same. Some of the other systems you have... should I install it on my 360? Should I not install it? So yes, it's very nice."

As for Xbox 360, the game will span multiple discs, but Willits says not to worry about having space for all of them on your hard drive.

"We recommend installing the game to the hard drive, but you don't need to install all three discs," he said. "If you don't have the space available on your hard drive, don't stress. Install the first disc, the first chapter, the first half of the game, then when you're done, uninstall and install disc two. You don't really need to install the multiplayer disc if you're really tight on hard disk space."

Willits also discussed the process of making the game for three systems.

"There are more similarities between them than most people realize, so they developed a codebase that would take care of these multi-core systems," Willits said. "It makes a lot more sense than taking on old technology and shoving it into a modern day console and then having to multi-thread. So the basic gamecode is the same, the basic engine is the same and it's only the graphical APIs, and a few sound things that are really different on all the three systems, which is really nice."

Dude, what's slow about racing dune buggies? lol.

I suppose. but most of the time you will probably be on foot. It looks like it's using iron-sights as well. Which generally means, standing still alot. I like the original Doom, RTCW and Quake 3 were you were practically sliding across the room. Quake 3 in particular is one of the purest deathmatch games to this day.

On the suject of post apocalyptic, Metro:2033 was a great action/adventure game set in the post apocalyptic. Because it wasn't developed by Americans it has a very diffent feel other games in that setting. Super atmospheric I thought it was It looks amazing as well, way better than Rage. And Battlefield 3 for that matter. Metro Last Light will probably be way over-looked as well. I'll be picking it up though over this. People forget about Doom 3, that was sold on tech.

 

[Donut]

Are you guys buying these new games at regular new price ? I am waiting for Black Friday / Holiday Sales to buy the games that I missed besides a select few

 

[GhostPoet]

I'm interested int his...but the fact that co-op is limited to a few missions is making me hold off in hopes of a co-op campaign mod...as ID has said the game will be very moddable.

TRU has an annual Buy 2, Get 1 Free sale every October. Usually 2nd or 3rd week. If you miss that, Best Buy sometimes matches a few weeks later. Thats the best time to pick stuff up

I've heard alot of good things about Metro, and everything I've seen on it seems like it's good. I ought to pick up the first one soon and get into it.

I'll wait and see on Rage. Looks interesting, but I'll wait and see.

 

[Slick]

Anyone planning on getting this at midnight?

 

[KALEL114]

No, but Carmack and others from id will be at the Gamestop 2 minutes from house.

I won't be able to go though. I will have to get the game on Thursday.

 

[jacobed]

I'm getting it at midnight. Looks to be one of the best games of the year

It's an amazing game. The attention to detail is some of the best I've ever seen in a game and it's truly one of the creepiest I've ever played lol.

Anyways, picking this up today. f**k yea.

 

[Soapy]

Quick Look: Rage

 

[terry78]

I didn't know it was available on Steam already. I may go ahead and hit that up.

I wouldn't pick it up on the pc, apparently it has alot of graphical problems and no graphic options to speak of other than resolution and AA.

Yea, Metro 2033 has some of the best texture work and lighting seen in a game. If you play it though, it's probably best to play it in Russian with subtitles than it is to have english with a Russian accent.

I still think i'd rather get the PC version and wait for a patch...simply because the modding for this game is going to be pretty big.
