but it looks amazing on 360
that doesnt have anything to do with megatextures but rather with how each system handles the game and how much you can install onto a hard drive/load from the disc.
it also doesnt look awful, ive seen it, and the only thing worse about it is that PS3 is the version that suffers more pop-in.
I know dozens of people have given their impressions of Rage, but I'll give mine as well.
The game is very forgettable.
The story is basically nonexistent, characters aren't memorable.
Game looks great, runs at 60 fps, gunplay is solid but not outstanding.
It's Borderlands without the co-op and personality.

It's subjective, but I think it looks really bad. I think MW2 looks significantly better for example. And they knock that shit out in two year stretches. Rage had a lot longer. Everyone talks about the 60fps, and it's indeed very nice, but I don't believe for a second they couldn't get comparable performance from a traditional engine given the time they've spent on the game, and that way it wouldn't be fugly too.
It looks worse than Doom 3 did to me.

I have it on PS3 and am loving the gameplay. It is an id game and I love it.

I just beat Rage and it has been by far the most enjoyable game I have played this year.
The gunplay just felt so solid the entire game. The weapons varied and the story has amazing potential.
I also loved the art direction and the sharp contrast between the wasteland and the authority.
Hope we get a Rage 2 , this time hopefully pc is the lead version though.

Also I cleaned out the sewers....only to go back to wellspring for it to tell me to go back to all the sewers and clean them out again
There are five dungeon missions and one brief outside mission left once you get to Subway Town in terms of main story stuff. There are a few side quests, too.

Wow, that looks great.

More like 70% done the game. There are only 4 or so job board quests, 30% fewer races and 1 or 2 NPC quests. And no more cities after Subway Town.
I agree with Adam Sessler's take on the ending: it's a pretty bad violation of gamer trust built up throughout the progression of the game. Alot of the NPC dialogue hints at the possibility of something greater, but it lands flat. Even being prepared for this eventuality going into the endgame didn't diminish the "Really? That's it?" feeling it left me with.
Have they announced any DLC plans for this at all?

I think he means Doom 3 when it came out had a bigger impact visually than Rage does in 2011.aeolist said:
edit nevermind I guess he does think Doom 3 looks better now. I want to replay Doom 3 now I love the way the game looks. I don't know what it is the style/lighting etc. looks so different in a good way.

Two things bothering me at the moment:
- Have I missed the map? Don't tell me there is none.
- Want to explore? Shoot down another three annoying Bandits cars that will respawn shortly. Takes the fun out of the exploration and is a waste of money for the repair costs.
And wth @ that Doom 3 comparison. The games look so totally different. Might as well compare COD4 to Forza 4.

That's a point: Is there anything to find at all when exploring? The game's design so far is leading me to believe there won't be. It's basically mission after mission with driving intermissions.
Also I'm pretty sure there is no map.

I found a random guy living in a house with a Doom 3 shirt on, and the polycount sawtooth face is on the Subway bartender, and there's the Quake, Doom, and Wolfenstein rooms. Remember that this is a linear shooter, just because they used a hub system doesn't mean it's an Elder Scrolls style RPG where there is a huge overworld to go exploring in.DeadRockstar said:

While there is not too much to explore I think, I just want to get out of the car sometimes and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

I figured that's probably how it was. Cool that there's some easter egg rooms though. I'll keep an eye out for those.

I love id so much.
Playing this makes me want to reinstall/playthrough DoomIII again.
Hands been cramping up with the 360 controller cause I've been playing so much lol
Asymmetrical sticks FTL =(
I'm in the same boat. I get up to Lv.5 but my mind just turns to mush at that point

An egg, but spoilers toward the end of the game
vv sorry, I thought that happened early enough after going there that it wouldn't matter
HL2 reference, he even says "pick up that can"

Took me a few tries but didn't seem overly difficult once I learned the pattern on round 4 & 5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeRZAfCKVCo&hd=1
Well not exactly, virtualized textures allow for completely unique texturing, but it also has a much small memory footprint, allowing more vram dedicated to fillrate.
It'd be ideal if they also decided to release the full texture quality version. I hope they do for Doom 4. Carmack has said they're going to fill a bluray next time, so hopefully the PC people will get a Doom 4 'HD' version which is optional, like Rage HD is on iPhone.

Hate to be negative here but the game is pretty soulless, gameplay is nice and the artistic direction is brilliant but I hated the rinse and repeat borderlands missions and this is so much like it it ain't funny, good thing I only rented it.
The resolution of the textures is fairly meaningless when they're compressed to this obnixious degree. The point of running at 30fps is for a richer simulation, not higher res textures. It can have considerably higher enemy counts for one.Solo said:
For someone with a PC, I don't really understand why you care what the console version runs at.
