Rage Gets New Screens & A Release Date

Contrary to popular snickering, id's shooter Rage will apparently be released. Some day. And now we know that day is September 13.

In some ways it seems like Rage was announced during the Truman administration, when it was only August 2007. Still this will be the developer's first full retail game since 2004's Doom 3.

Who ever doubted it was going to be released? I don't recall id ever pulling a Duke Nukem Forever and they've ALWAYS been a "it's done when it's done" company.

Regardless, I can't wait to play this. The pics looks amazing...I've always loved their titles and I'll be shocked if I don't love this one too.

This I'm predicting will be my disappointment of 2011.

5 years in the making for the brownest-brown-copycat game ever.

Yes I'm judging before playing.

Given your username I find this to be highly ironic.

Brownest-brown-copycat game? Time to replace your monitor. The "Quake is brown" meme was old by the time Quake II came out. I'm amazed people still hold onto that.

The interior shots are pretty.

I do have the feeling we have all played this game before (it's called Q4), but I'll still play it. Even though their games are brownish...I still have a lot of fun playing them.

I just hope it doesn't come out at the $59.99 price tag. I'll wait until $20

I was being a little facetious there. But I think Rage has been in the "when the hell is it finally coming out" category for a while now, even though the first date id ever discussed publicly was "late 2010". The game has been in development for a long time, and they've been talking about it for almost that entire time.

At least its not cell-shaded.

Firstly....A little history: I created this user name in 1996. (not on this forum, but in life)

What was i doing then? Playing Duke Nukem 3D. Not Forever. Not Time to Kill. Not Metldown. This was a day of AOL 2.5. Your "screename" defined you. And I've never changed it.

Second, yes the brownest-brown-of-the-brown-video-game-land. Browner than Far Cry 2. Browner than Borderlands. Fuck even Browner than GTAIV on console.

Again, judging before playing.

Last time I checked. We were free to discuss any game we want, whether we are looking forward to it or not.

I assume this is aimed towards me?

I don't recall grabbing my pitchfork and assembling a mob.

I guess I have a low tolerance for what I can only describe as "unchecked cynicism". When someone calls this game "brown" my only conclusions are that they're either blind, their monitor is broken or that they're still holding onto a PLAYED OUT cliche from the 90's.

If you actually take the time to look through the screenshots they are full of color.

Given the fact that this game is compared to Fallout 3 a lot I almost find pointing out its pallet as comical given the fact that Fallout 3 was probably the drabbest game ever.

I've seen countless screenshots from Rage that are quite vibrant. I don't care if you're not looking forward to this game. Maybe you hate shooters. Maybe every id title has disappointed you. Maybe you get scared easily and the mutants terrify you. But I took objection to your criticism because it sounded way too much like a played out cliche.

We all know the game is not going to look like that when it's released. Esp on Console. They're enhanced pretty well.

No Mob here. Just pointing out the fact that we've been down this road before about discussing games and it the classic "shut up so only people who are excited about this game can talk about it" line never works. At least with me.

Besides, I even threw in a disclaimer on my post "Judging before playing".

Where did your post go burger? You delete it?

edit: lol I hate shooters? I think not.

I guess you missed the "maybe".

I was simply listing generic reasons that ANYONE could use to dismiss a game they've never played.

Relax...your love of shooters isn't being questioned or challenged.

Good, or he might have to shoot you.

I can't help thinking this will be a massive bomb, one that spells the end of id as we know it. Back in the Q2 days I would have never believed you if you'd told me that Epic would eventually surpass id.

And you're basing this off of what? Color pallets?

There's nothing surprising at all about Epic passing id because that's never been one of id's goals. Carmack has never been profit oriented and as he put it years ago "Romero wants to build an empire I just want to write good code".

id has always been about giving away their technology. Carmack is firmly against patents.

I've always thought of the game as Motorstorm + Quake, which is interesting, but I'll reserve any judgment until I actual play it or see it being played at least. You know, like a rational person.

I bought Rage HD for the iPad.

It's really fuckin' fun, and manages to find a way to make a rail shooter fun and challenging instead of a dull shooting gallery.

If the game design on offer in the full game is as clever as what Carmack has pulled off on the iPad, then I think this game may be a lot of fun.

The fact that you're comparing an iPad game, to a real game, voids your opinion.

totally kidding
