Jackal Canyon was probably my favorite level in the game. The train station and prison levels were also very good.
They should add a time attack mode or something where you can just pick the missions from the main menu. I'd love to go back and play through some of the dungeons again.
I just played Jackal canyon, very nice looking and some fun vertical areas. The Gearhead levels had more gleeful in my face action but the jackals had cool zip lines. The subway level was also god tier because of imp ghouls and a bash brothers fight.
The level design is good but there are too many waste high walls and odd clipping points. I am really getting tired of games that do not let me hop a staircase railing or run up the center part between 2 escalators. For what is there I think it is better than most games but I would put Fear above it because Fear had multiple routes and backdoors in each set of rooms.
Is there a working /map command for single player? In Doom 3 it was kind enough to deck the player out with appropriate starting gear. If not someone needs to mod in a score attack type mode with level select once the SDK is out. As someone else pointed out the downtime is a positive feature but sometimes I do just want to replay level x without juggling a huge collection of saves(that I can't name)

Have you even played Rage on PS3? Nothing in Gears is even remotely close to being as bad as Rage. I'm talking turn your head slightly to the left. This is constant, not once per level. Nothing in Gears 3 was "horrific." I noticed it once during the start of a single scene. Gears 1 and 2 was once during the start of each level and multiplayer match.

Yep, that was an awesome throwback to Doom, I think. Lots of more open areas with tons of enemies swarming you.

Not even close, unless you want to venture into subjective territory.
I mean, RAGE doesn't even have real-time dynamic lighting or physics or anything.
You may as well be comparing Myst to DOOM. Sure Myst presents a much prettier picture, but it's all pre-rendered.

but thats an absolutely horrible analogy.
I'd say its better then vanilla Crysis since I don't think its fair to compare Rage to major graphical mods version of Crysis at this point.(apples to apples)
The Witcher 2 definitely has better Texture Detail and lighting effects, tho the scope of its levels cant compare with Rages.
Artistic direction they're both fantastic.

I don't get it how this game is getting high praise for its technical achievements (not talking about art) when it doesn't even have dynamic lighting and physics in this day and age. And on top of that texture pop-in issues on consoles.
I guess hit 60fps and its all glorious :/

It's not a great analogy, but most analogies aren't.
Just about all of the visuals in RAGE are pre-baked textures, so I don't think it's unfair to call it mostly pre-rendered. Relatively low polygon count environments with pre-rendered and compressed images plastered on top of them. There's really not a whole lot going on technically.
The end result definitely produces some beautiful environments as long as you stand back. You can't interact with any of it, though.

You have a pretty nice line on PC of games ready to spank Rage in terms of technical graphics, dare i say overall look also. Witcher 2, Crysis, GTA:IV with Nhancer and the hard hitting but often overlooked Metro 2033. For all the texture variety talk you hear about Rage, the underground cities of Metro have a pretty good amount of texture samples and at a much higher quality.TheMan said:
With the advanced depth of field and the Physx effects Metro some times gives me the impression im watching FF: Spirits Within. It looks that incredible.
Edit: and this very month Battle Field 3, just wait for that bad boy to stretch its muscles.

The lighting and volumetric effects in Metro 2033 were simply incredible.
ONCE YOU BEAT THE BIG BADASSES AND
CLEAN OUT THE MOON BASE YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO WIN, AREN'T YOU? AREN'T YOU? WHERE'S
YOUR FAT REWARD AND TICKET HOME? WHAT
THE HELL IS THIS? IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO
END THIS WAY!
Finished the game on Nightmare, my last save was at 13:14. The whole last level was weak but overall the game was awesome. Really want a level select so I can just jump into the fun instead of playing through the whole experience just to get to level x though.
I never did fire up my BFG because I expected a bigger fight at the end. Also I did not notice i could make an upgrade to boost my health until I was at the last fight. The game is very easy but also one of the best single player shooters I have played in years. I have to play some more but it may even be the best SP action shooter released since 1996.

I refuse to believe that the game ended as the developers originally intended. I highly suspect they simply chopped off a few levels and are either going to sell them as DLC, or will use them to get a head start on the sequel.

Best effects in the business probably. I know Metro's character models are not of everyone's liking, however texture work for the uniforms and armors is astonishing, how they feature movile and dangling parts. How well curved parts are presented by the tesselation. And how the models convey a real sense of weight like NPCs are making a real effort to move, can't recall something that compares. Firts game of a small studio called A4 no less.Zefah said:

Way to spoil it for people who haven't played yet, jackass. Nice touch with the CAPS. Maybe you are from 1996.
There has to be a crescendo or super boss missing, the elevator probably should have gone up another level to an arena of jetpack authority pig mutants, a bull mutant, and a stronger version of the tall authority guy. The whole capital prime design was boring hallways, maybe the whole mission was put together very quickly instead of just cutting levels.Zefah said:

I should go replay that now that I have a better computer. Last time I went through it I was on a Core 2 Duo and a 4870. Now I'm on a i5 2500k and a 5870.

No worries, I just took it as a general irritation at the end of the game, which I fully agree with.
EDIT: Oh yeah, it totally is from Doom! Good one!
I'm playing through this again on Nightmare...it's actually the first time I've done that with an id game. Although the shooting is great, I really love the feel of the Wingsticks...best boomerang/glaive weapon in games. Dark Sector came close but this nails it.
Brandon F said:
It runs and looks great imo.
I'm using 8xAA at 1920 x 1080
Almost always 60fps.

You are set, only thing to watch out regarding performace is the advanced "dead" (depth) of field the most resource intensive effect. I don't know if at the the time you played the DLC was out, in any case go for ranger difficulty since it takes out the sight cursor and the enemies seem less stupid cause god only knows the radiation made those guys complete idiots.Zefah said:
PC baby boy, things are improving for Rage and they only can get better and lessen load times. Also consider you might want to revisit the game when you have juicier hardware, so PC all the way is the right way.Brandon F said:

The Wingblades are so awesome. Honestly, they feel almost like a cheat since they are so much better than most of the weapons and often result in one-hit kills.

You know another aspect of gameplay that becomes "cheap" or its abused by the player is the defib, it feels the player with such over confidence. I like the concept a lot but the mini game is way too easy, either it needs to be harder or put a chance element into it.Zefah said:
In conclusion i like the mechanic but it needs some refinement.
Speaking of which. Anyone knows a link with test on how the load times are reduced in the PS3 version with an SSD? Comparisons with the 360 version would be interesting also.Gravijah said:
My friend's having a rough time with Rage crashing pretty frequently. We were just playing coop and after we beat it it kicked him out and crashed on him while it was loading. He's got the latest drivers too.
Specs:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz, 12.0 GB DDR3, Radeon HD 6870 1 GB
Any ideas?

Makes as much sense as the rest.
Multi GPU is still a no go, from what I recall. But you shouldn't be too worried. This game runs at 60fps very quickly. That is, after you've changed the settings in your GPU control panel accordingly to RAGE's likening.jambo said:
I'm at a constant 60fps, 2560x1600 resolution and 2xAA. All this on a single HD 5870. (I have CrossFireX disabled)
