Yeah, it's like 30fps shooters sacrificing responsive, tight gameplay for visuals. Whatareyagonnado?AEREC said:

if it wasn't using shadow maps, you wouldn't see the environment lighting effect the vehicles and models. i could be wrong, but i'm pretty sure it does.Zefah said:
A bunch of people are saying they did most if not close to all the quests and it took them 8 hours
You have to remember with reviews it seems a lot of them do this thing (and you see it sometimes in livestreams) people love to stare at the ground...or get lost in very linear corridors, or backtrack to places when they don't need to...

Never make blanket assumptions about gamers. I'll take smooth 60fps gameplay over added visual flare almost every single time. The only times I don't care if its 30 is slow paced rpgs and the like.
If it's multiplayer, forget it, its not even a question. 60fps+ or death.
It's not a subjective thing, 60fps+ games are objectively smoother, with faster response times to inputs.

It took me about 10 hours and I did most of the sidequests. But there are some things I didn't finish and I'm sure I missed other things as well.

See, now that's what I'm talking about. 60fps or death!Victrix said:

It impresses me visually. And I just finished playing through Hard Reset and Dead Island, two very gorgeous games (in very different technical ways).
What's impressive, visually, about RAGE is the draw distance and how far the detail that is there goes. The textures need a bit of work on some objects (or I need a sGPUwith more VRAM, 1.2 aint cuttin it), but overall it's very impressive, at the frame rate it's hitting, for the fidelity I'm seeing.
Hard Reset also ran at 60FPS on my system, and definitley looks better in many technical ways. But it's also a different art style, and a game that's all within a city setting, and one very strict type of gameplay.
Dead Island is probably as open as RAGE, but the driving in it is very limited, the frame rate also solid 60, but the pop-in was much greater there. And the characters didn't look as good as they do in RAGE.
Ehh, yes and no. I do think Resistance 3 and Killzone 2/3 are all more detailed than Rage and feature much higher quality lighting and shader work, but the 60 fps and texture variety of Rage really sell it. It's very impressive looking.
It depends on what you're looking for.
Rage has a very DIFFERENT look from those games. It doesn't focus on throwing tons of shaders and lights around, rather, creating very complex scenes without tiling. As you look around you'll see that almost every surface is uniquely painted. This combined with the excellent art direction, color grading, and high framerate really pack a punch.
I think it's very impressive to behold and I appreciate the sacrifices they made for performance.

For single player, I still prefer 60fps, for the mentioned benefits to responsiveness and movement but also for IQ. 30fps always looks blurry/smudged to me somehow. Of course this means I'm screwed because I don't have a powerful PC and am strictly console gaming save for emu stuff.Gvaz said:

It's a miracle this game is running at 60fps on consoles. "BUBUBU, blurry textures when I zoom in!" Fuck off...

Don't take my comment too seriously. Outside of id fixing the streaming issues via patch, this is the only option. If folks were on the fence about the benefits of SSD as a PS3 HD, this is just another good example. Basically anything that has to do with hard disc reading/writing...
I wouldn't do it for RAGE specifically, just overall experience.

Yeah, looks like they either messed up or they are just giving it away to those who activate their game on Steam in a certain time period. I have the Crimson Elite armor now, too.

So...if you have the PC version, sell your Anarchy Edition/Sewers codes online and save yourself some money off of your purchase.

they work on other platforms? couldnt who would buy them if its automatic?
Man the checkpoints in this game are fucking awful sometimes. I just lost about 45 minutes worth of playing because I forgot to save. What really bothers me is there was at least three different times when the game felt like it should have auto saved. I was really into the game, now I don't feel like trudging through the same crap again. Fuck

Yeah, it wouldn't be so bad if it didn't take a good 45 seconds to manually save on the PS3. My only gripe with the game so far. Everything else has been fantastic so far.
eek5 said:ROFL. I made that mistake like 3 times already. Not anymore though... (i hope)
edit: For people who have gone into the sewers, is it worth it? I'm renting the game so wondering if it is worthwhile to get or not.
No, I wouldn't pay for the sewers DLC if you're only renting.

It's a 60FPS game. The mere fact that it's in the neighborhood of a 30FPS game like Gears 3 is a testament to its quality. Imagine what they could have done if Carmack was allowed 2x the time to render the frame. Or try imagining how Gears 3 would look if you took away 1/2 of the render time - I'm guessing not very pretty.
The problem was is that I was in the dead city and really into it that I completely forgot to manually save at any point during those 45 minutes. What really sucks is that I'm playing on PC and it is easy as hell to auto save, so it makes it that much more frustrating that I didn't. Oh well, I probably just go through it again while listening to last week's weekend confirmed.Wallach said:

Renting the game, and loving it so far.
At the moment, I'm stuck making a decision between getting a Fabricator and Roughneck armor.
Which do you think may be the better option for Normal gameplay?

Head over to the RAGE PC performance thread for more details. Here's what I use:
+set com_allowConsole 1 +set com_skipIntroVideo 1 +cvaradd g_fov 20
- Turns on the console command option
- Skips intro video
- Changes FOV (default is 80, so 100)
You should create a rageconfig.cfg file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\rage\base, too.
Here's mine (Nvidia):
