Slowly but surely the veil is starting to be lifted off of id Software's upcoming title Rage. The cover story to the newest issue of Game Informer reveals a number of previously unknown details about the post-apocalyptic shooter-driving hybrid.
An engineering system to craft devices including sentry turrets and RC car bombs, if you have the blueprints and parts.
Your health regenerates--a gift connected to your history.
Hub towns house offer races and missions.
Vehicular combat is a big part of racing, with power-ups and ammo placed around the courses.
Weapon upgrades, such as a scope and aiming stabilisers for a crossbow.
Alternate ammo types, including a crossbow bolt which allows you to briefly control victims before they explode.
Stealth is an option in combat too.
A gladiatorial game show named Mutant Bash TV offers big prize money.
A car parts system allows boosts to areas such as acceleration, traction and suspension.
Other car upgrades include bombs, a magnet to draw power-ups, tire shredders and EMP shields.
Multiplayer modes are currently not finalised.
One weapon is a three-tipped boomerang called the 'wingstick,' which will return.
The PC version will offer higher resolutions, more anti-aliasing and faster texture page-in times, but the three versions are essentially the same.
The game is still being designed for the PS3 and 360 in addition to a PC release, but having to deal with the limitations of the DVD medium on the 360 is a challenge. The game will ship on 1 Blu-Ray disc for the PS3 but 3 DVDs for the other platforms and trying to decide how to divide the game is proving difficult.
When will Rage be in our hot little hands? id says the game will be out "when it's fun and when it's done," but definitely not this year.
