Rage (id Software)

Just watched it !

Holy Moly :runaway: !!!!! This looks like the best looking game , if its running on the consoles that is. Even if not, the art style is damn well the best uptill now ! This lokks freaking fantabulous Love the mood in the buggy environment as well as the Dead City ! Woohooo!

If it looks like this on the ps3, I'll kiss the doorways of ID software. We missed you ID, welcome back ! :p !
 
Yeah, also, the old dude's facial animation looks really cool IMHO.
Gamersyde version's up BTW
 
Damn that looks good. Just a shame about the saturated lighting. :/ Not a big fan of that but oh well... C'est la vie. Really smooth animations. I like the transition between indoor and outdoor.

I agree. Shooters often have very few colors, but man, this takes that to the next level. :LOL: But the detail and variation of this which is from what I understand basically a huge open-world shooter is pretty amazing. Hopefully it gets used to create a really beautiful world at some point, even if it takes waiting for next-gen ... (I'm not expecting much beauty from Doom 4 either)
 
Well, lack of HDR really hurts it, at least they're not pushing the post processing too far to lose texture detail. Honestly, I expected better colors from the gamersyde version. Maybe the source video everyone's working from is not 100% - screenshots look a lot nicer, it actually seems to be one of the most colorful id games yet.
But 60fps is going to look awesome though, and knowing them I expect a long playthrough (Doom3 was actually a bit too long).

As for Doom4, it's going to be unveiled at Quakecon, and if I were you I'd throw any expectations out of the window. This seems to be a very different id by now.
 
Those are some really dull weapons for the game.

I mean for a game with a versatile enemy A.I. and wide-open environments, you'd think the weapons would be a bit more creative in taking advantage of those attributes. So far electrocuting a puddle of water is the only interesting thing I've seen.

I mean weapons like poison/crazy gas that make the enemy try to kill one-another, or smart turrets or missiles that move around the environment to kill a tagged enemy. Just some creative weapons that have an area of effect or affect the NPC/enemy A.I. in some truly interesting ways.

I hope this game has something that makes it stand out a bit more in the gameplay department, or else I'm gonna stick with getting Resistance 3 for it's weapon-set.
 
Yeah they could maybe also add a turret that can go talk to people, get missions and complete them...

LOL...


Anyway that "Dead City" looks gorgeous and shows off good use of MT advantages. That level would make a kickass MP environment but it's too bad Rage won't have traditional death match MP.

Music is creepy btw. I wonder if there will be night missions?

Looks a bit outdated in terms of lighting. Too flat for my taste...Not fund of the artstyle either...:???:
But the 60fps is a strong bulletpoint! :smile:
 
Saw the gamersyde version, definitely looks like the console version, I could see Aliasing and low res textures everywhere. Although at one point i see a prompt for "E" displayed which makes me think its running on the PC, but I think I have fallen in love with the art style. I don't like the overbright sunlight, but the game looks beautiful ! I used to think KZ2 had the best Urban art, but this takes the cake ! Some areas look like as if I am walking thru concept art :D ! BEAUTIFUL and all that at a smooth 60 fps ! Tada ta da ta .....:LOL: !
 
Looks nice but nothing incredible. Maybe I watched the wrong video (gametrailer link on this page) but it's far from the best graphics out there. I'd say Crysis 2 is easily above this. And I won't bother mentioning BF3.
 
Yeah, but, you know, this runs at 60fps. Comparisons with C2 should wait until Doom 4 IMHO.
 
I think they've done a really good job of taking advantage of their virtual texturing. Those crumbling buildings look fantastic.
 
OK That trailer has restored my faith in id again and I'm back on the hype train for this game. If the console version actually runs at 1280 x 720 with 60fps then it would definitely be one of the best looking game this gen.
 
well, when they had the on stage presentation at gamescom of the xbox360 version...I was shocked too about how good this game looked!!

so I am really looking forward to this game...the only thing I noticed which seemed a little bit weird...when the enemy got hit by a bullet and dies...it looked like they immediately fall down to the ground, without a cool death animation

Would not say best looking maybe more best performing game.
