Support NeoGAF

[Danne-Danger]

On the offial forums they were talking about a 64bit version being available for download.

Oh that's... uhm, yes, mmhmm, oh yes.

The real question now on PC is... Controller or mouse and keyboard

I'll be going controller like I always do. It's not online so who cares? Go with what's comfortable.

 

[garath]

Driving is optional.

Check the OP.

I thought there were two mandatory races. Either way, it looks like it would suck to drive everywhere. Lol

 

[Truant]

The DB shotgun looks cool as hell. Will it be impossible to get it in-game unless you pre-order?

yeah :/

i dont doubt itll be available later with other stuff as $2 DLC or something. something something Bethesda.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

So, listening to Weekend Confirmed, Jeff mentioned that Rage has a fully featured collectible card game in it. Huh?

This is in Anarchy Edition, right?

Here in Poland 16 on 20 sellers are doing AE. For some time I thought this is the base edition, lol.

 

[Zimbardo]

i love the look of this game, but i have a hard time believing that its worthy of a $59.99 price tag on PC.

maybe i'm wrong, but it just doesn't seem like it'd be worth that price.

Anarchy Edition is a fancy way of saying 'First Run'

Non spoiler answer: yes

 

[delta25]

cant wait to see all the various weapons in Rage, id has always been well know for making awesome guns.

I rest my case:

It's 3 - 4 times as long as 90% of the shooters released this generation. I don't see how value could be argued at all.

It's hard to find non-AE here.

 

[Peterthumpa]

Huh? How long is it supposed to be? I was expecting a 10 - 12 hours campaign.

Gravity gun being one of them!

trolololo

There's no reason for it to be $60, unless the console versions are $70 - which they aren't.

 

[Sinatar]

15-20

 

[kinggroin]

Game length is hardly the indication of value.

 

[EmSeta]

I wonder if I could use a wheel for the driving sections only. I don't have one, though I might bite...

 

[angular graphics]

Huh? How long is it supposed to be? I was expecting a 10 - 12 hours campaign.

Eurogamer: Is this the biggest single-player campaign you've ever done?

Tim Willits: [Looks at me like I'm a nutter.] Hell yeah.

Eurogamer: I was thinking back, Quake 2 was quite long.

Tim Willits: Quake 2 was quite long. I made 45 of those maps. Let me tell you, it was long. But no, this is longer. It's more in-depth.

[GrayFoxPL]

Hopefully not Half Life 2 long. I can't finish the damn thing.

 

[Hazaro]

That has always been Carmack's goal, from day one: to deliver cutting edge tech which could still be played on the types of systems that 90% of people have (ie. underpowered, non-uber gaming rigs). Truly the holy grail, given how contradictory those two goals are.

Yeah, seeing optimization for the Fusion CPUs and even Intel 2000/3000 graphics doesn't surprise me.
Give it another 4 years and all new consumer machines will be gaming capable.

 

[DaBuddaDa]

Huh? How long is it supposed to be? I was expecting a 10 - 12 hours campaign.

Sounds like you could blow through it in about 10 hours without doing any side missions, mini games, exploration or anything but checkpoint to checkpoint. Otherwise, a normal person will take anywhere from 20-30 hours.

 

[Pimpbaa]

Game length is hardly the indication of value.

Maybe to you. Paying the same price for some other game that is over in less than 5 or 6 hours is a massive ripoff.

 

[Wallach]

Game length is hardly the indication of value.

Luckily this is an id game, so the more content there is, the more awesome you get for your dollar.

 

[piratepwnsninja]

I know some people hate Time Warner, but I love my Wideband from them. Finished pre-loading in an hour and a half.

 

[Solo]

GAF is so cheap

 

[Poimandres]

The real question now on PC is... Controller or mouse and keyboard

I think this will definitely be a game to play with KB/M.

- id's heritage
- rather fast and "precise" combat
- seems like little/no auto-aim
- one of the hands on impressions from earlier in this thread said it "felt like a PC game"

 

[Peterthumpa]

I know some people hate Time Warner, but I love my Wideband from them. Finished pre-loading in an hour and a half.

Holy fuck, it would take more time copying the game between PCs here on my LAN.

 

[Derrick01]

Game length is hardly the indication of value.

No but it's a factor that helps me decide what to purchase. I'm beyond fed up with paying $40-$60 for a 5-7 hour game. Thankfully most of the games I want this fall will be pretty lengthy.

 

[TTP]

Razer Hydra.

Is that supported from day 1?

 

[Shurs]

Game length is hardly the indication of value.

For you.

 

[epmode]

KB/M for shooting, pad for driving. Hopefully you can do that easily.

Because let's be honest, driving in any game on a keyboard is like eating glass.

Trackmania!

 

[Peterthumpa]

No word on it, but they constantly release profiles for brand new games and you can always create your custom profile by yourself.

 

[tenz0r]

The real question now on PC is... Controller or mouse and keyboard

I am going to switch off using both. I love how PC games these days implement the 360 controller, and button layout. Sometimes I just want to sit back on my recliner, and play with the controller on my big screen, while other times I just want to sit on my desk and play with the keyboard and mouse. The option of being able to do both is great.

 

[JaseC]

So I couldn't log into steam then :/

Might wait until official release.

You could, not doing so is simply a precaution operating under the assumption that Valve wouldn't take kindly to unlocking the game early.

 

[PaulLFC]

I know some people hate Time Warner, but I love my Wideband from them. Finished pre-loading in an hour and a half.

... wow. What speed is that?! That's ridiculous. In a good way, of course.

Yeah this is how I am too. During my controller periods, I'd say that Fallout was much better with a controller. Then I'd find myself playing on my monitor with KB/M and deciding it was better. Then I'd be back to controller. They each have their advantages.

 

[DaBuddaDa]

I have Time Warner but they don't have Extreme or Wideband here, only Turbo which isn't very fast Wideband sounds amazing.

 

[Spookie]

According to Tim the BFG will make an appearance in Rage too.

 

[Mastperf]

I think it's 50mbps, right?

ha ha ha. that is so great.

 

[Sullichin]

Any video reviews yet? Even with uncharted 3, re4, and gears 3 keeping me busy I can't wait for this.

 

[iAmMaximus]

So I've been pretty out of the loop with RAGE. What kind of game is it exactly? Borderlands + Fallout?

 

[piratepwnsninja]

... wow. What speed is that?! That's ridiculous. In a good way, of course.

50/5. True speed too. My steam downloads are generally a sustained 4.5-5.0 megs a second down speed. Great stuff. Pay out the ass for it, but its been worth it.

 

[Wallach]

So I've been pretty out of the loop with RAGE. What kind of game is it exactly? Borderlands + Fallout?

I'll kick your fuckin' ass.

 

[iAmMaximus]

I'll kick your fuckin' ass.

Was it the Borderlands + Fallout connection?

 

[GrayFoxPL]

It's a game about ragequiting.

 

[Wallach]

Was it the Borderlands + Fallout connection?

It's just a joke about this thread, circa a page or so ago. Kind of.

But really the similarities to either of those games aren't too deep. Especially Fallout. Borderlands is closer, but the core design of that game is real different.

 

[Gvaz]

Hopefully not Half Life 2 long. I can't finish the damn thing.

....what the hell? Half Life 2 is relatively short.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

On the offial forums they were talking about a 64bit version being available for download.

Not on launch day. It will come later and it's required to run the modding tools.

I wonder if that's just going to be a download in the tool section of Steam instead of a game update.
