Thread: Interesting Article

id are real industry leaders like Valve.

Actually I would hold id higher than Valve when considering their tech engines.
Rage and Doom 4 will be using id Tech Engine 5 which I hear utilizes

SUPER TEXTURES

Something in the ballpark of 100000 x 100000. I also hear a raw uncompressed build of Rage is almost a terabyte in size. ETC.

God, a game on this engine will be so over encompassing.

If it's free roam like Fallout 3, I'm buying it.

But free roam like Red Faction: Guerilla was garbage, only places to explore were roads and copy cat military bases.

i think it has a lot of bioshock feel....but i dunno either haha

i think its going to be coooooool tho...! hope it has co-op

Too all those people mentioning Fallout 3

Its built a lot like it in terms of exploration. BUT!
Rage 1UP's Fallout 3 in that Rage has cars and car battling deathmatch desert gun blasting awesomeness.

Take Doom 3/ Quake 4 and make it expand HUGE environments, a first for id, and add in simple RPG and make sure its id developed and made all the way through and you got Rage.

I half didn't understand what I just typed.

to me, personally it looks like one of those games that gets big hype, than turns out to be horrible,

i might buy it, but not on release. i will look at gameplay vids/rent it and see if its worthy.

i think the car dwathmatch thing will ruin the game, like the werehog on SonicUnleashed, its going to try and be like Fallout3 but add something then fail.

but i could easily be wrong.

I...just don't get it, I've watched a load of videos and I still don't understand, what is it all about? Graphics?

It is looking and sounding a bit like to Borderlands as of now, and Borderlands is winning in getting me excited.

Yea I get you. But you gotta realize that its id.

You may not like Doom or Quake but you can't help but know how big they are. I could almost go and say that everyone loves Doom/Quake or that people who don't like Doom/Quake have atleast played it.

id is the type of famous company with such a reputation that you gotta give them a chance.
Quakecon anyone?

I'm actually pretty excited for this. My only problem is that mixing driving and FPS-ing sounds like a terrible idea. But I am being pulled into the game by one enemy. The mutants move so fluidly and look so fun to fight that the game has me interested. It will probably be a rental, but a very fun rental, at that.
