Return to the Wasteland in The Scorchers, an all-new RAGE add-on from id Software – arriving on 360, PC, and PS3 next week for $4.99 (or 400 Microsoft Points).

In this brand-new adventure spanning six all-new areas, you will fight alongside new allies to defend the Hager Settlment from a maniacal bandit clan known as The Scorchers. Along the way, you’ll participate in a new season of Mutant Bash TV, encounter new mini-games, and wield the overpowering and brutal Nailgun.

In addition to the new content, this DLC includes ‘Ultra-Nightmare’, a new high difficulty mode, as well as an ‘Extended Play’ option that allows you to play past the original ending of the game – giving you the opportunity to finish collecting items and achievements.

Mod tools?

 

[dab0ne]

That took long enough. I enjoyed the game though and I'll be getting this one for sure at that price point.

 

[Salsa]

im in

might play it again on Ultra-Nightmare

great price as well

 

[Satchel]

Might grab this

 

[richi_one]

I can give it a chance at that price. They should have removed the ending (it's hard to call that thing and ending), but you can't always get what you want they say...

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

I'm ready for more

 

[Ketch]

I wonder if it'll make any changes to the ending? Was an awesome game up until the last level.

 

[jediyoshi]

better late than never
have to imagine a big ol pc version sale attached to this

 

[Omegasquash]

I'm ready for more

.

 

[iNvid02]

i will purchase and play this piece of additional content

 

[sTeLioSco]

interested

 

[SirIgbyCeaser]

Mac owners am cry.(aka ME)

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Still haven't beat the game yet. Does it matter?

 

[Raptor]

I Will give this game a second chance, I might play it straight forward and not trying to go 100% in everything.

 

[NameGenerated]

Another scorcher...

 

[Victrix]

So this includes an ending?

 

[metsallica]

Wow, unexpected. Can't wait! Hope this is the first of many; Rage is awesome.

 

[Fersis]

Yup sounds like i will buy it.
I looooved RAGE... up until the ending.

 

[Adnor]

Nice, I'll have to reinstall Rage then!

 

[jinutsu]

as well as an ‘Extended Play’ option that allows you to play past the original ending of the game

Dat ending.

 

[Mr Swine]

Nice, rage is a fantastic FPS can I buy some sort of steam card and add funds to steam?

MORE FELTRITE PLZ

 

[Crawl]

did they ever fix the terrible down-rezzed textures on PC?

 

[Ricker]

Uninstalled this a few months back...I had fun with it though so depending on the impressions and reviews,might be worth a re-install...I have the boxed PC copy anyway still.

Better yet, Best Buy. They even sell them online:

Although you can always just use Paypal to add money directly into your account.

 

[Goldenroad]

Sold my copy way back when. Not even remotely interested.

 

[Hypron]

A new difficulty mode? I'm in, the game might finally be a bit challenging! The gunplay in this game is godlike, the only thing it was missing was challenge: you had to die 3 times to die for good, and you had too few enemies on screen at any single one time.

 

[Liamario]

PC version runs like shit for some people. And is really only playable after massive config tweaking. Fix the game first!

Most of those issues were solved right after launch.

 

[UnluckyKate]

yeah they put a patch with higher rez me thinks

 

[RionaaM]

Funny, I'm gonna pay for the DLC the same as I paid for the base game on the Autumn Sale. And I haven't started the game yet.

 

[Clay Davis]

a chance to play around in new areas of the game that has some of the most satisfying gunplay in years? sign me the heck up.

 

[GraveRobberX]

I remember when I bought RAGE for $5 in March for the PS3, the DLC is the same price... fucking crazy

 

[Space Runaway]

At $5 I'll most likely grab this. I really liked Rage despite it's drawbacks and horrid final area.

They really should have made some kind of traditional DM mode though. The game is begging for it.

Thanks but I don't live in the us. And is it safer to use PayPal than adding my credit card on steam?

 

[Stewox]

Mod tools?

Should be soon, but still, when it's done.

 

[Tzeentch]

Should be soon, but still, when it's done.

They might as well not even bother at this point. Especially if the megatexture tools are as gimpy as they've hinted in the past.

 

[Stitch]

yeah they put a patch with higher rez me thinks

no, they didn't.

 

[mattiewheels]

Isn't this the first dlc? Why'd this take so long?

 

[∀ Narayan]

Cool! Think I'll reinstall for this.

 

[Deleted member 102362]

Isn't this the first dlc? Why'd this take so long?

The first one they're selling separately. Rage had two prior DLCs (Anarchy Pack and Sewers), but they could only be acquired through other means, such as preordering.

I'm surprised those first two still aren't being sold on Steam.

 

[Stewox]

Tools aren't gimpy on purpose, that will be the response of UDK fanboys and modders wo are not real programmers.

Accessibility hurts performance and capability. Id wouldn't sacrifice that. Most skyrim creation kit modders won't have idea about id studio, only those who would invest the time to learn.

 

[Calmine]

Surprised they actually decided to make new DLC might be alright although going to wait for impressions.

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

I enjoyed RAGE enough to want to come back for this. The 20gb download is putting me off though..

 

[Dimorphic]

Is it 20GB on 360 as well? Couldn't be, could it?

 

[SirIgbyCeaser]

With carmacks love for 3d, he should have patched that into the game for consoles. Would have been soo awesome.

 

[pje122]

I beat RAGE on PS3...
If I rented it again on 360 and bought this DLC could I just jump into it right away or would it force me to play the whole game again first...?

Short form: Absolutely nothing will be done with these "tools" when they are released. They released the source code for Doom BFG and after an initial flurry of activity .... well I think you see where I'm going. If they can't make their engine accessible and the tools useful then they deserve their irrelevency in the current marketplace and mod community.
