RAGE |OT| "It's done when it's done"

If you point your gun down that's okay but it's lazy compared to putting the gun totally away. That's HL2/Fear levels right there, and tons of games after it just holster that shit.
As for nitro, there's been other vehicle sections in games where you could game the system in that fashion but that's not a deal breaker for me.
If there's lots of backtracking, that's a big negative.
Story being derivative is whatever, as long as the combat makes up for it.

Rage ships with free mod tools out the box right ?
If so that is reason enough to purchase this game.

Its first person, you can't tell if he puts it away when he puts it down? Do you mean some sound effect that says, "I have put my gun away?"
Backtracking is there only in the aspect that you again, have to get missions and don't have a guy to call on a radio to give them to you remotely.
In the first 40 minutes you end up having 2 settlements and 2 other hotspots you can go to for quests. Not sure what your friend had an issue with. In fact the game is loaded with sidequests and just like Fallout or other RPG's you go back to the places the quest is given to turn it in. By supplies, and so forth.
Nitro is nitro and its a race, so I am ok with that as well.
But again, each to their own the AI and gameplay is outstanding from what I have played. So I think you will dig it.

No I meant if it's really broken by mashing thus being charged all the time like that guy implicated. If not that's cool.
I have a just-to-be-sure question about the texture load on ps3:
Do the textures stay loaded. Like if I'll walk 20 steps from one place and then come back, will they be loaded or is it reloading them all the time?
We dont know that yet. But considering they have no PC footage shown where it wasnt a controlled media release I am now interested in seeing how fucked up the PC version is. I mean it could be okay, or it could be like Brink. The meltdowns will be a great read if its like Brink.delta25 said:

Enemies that won't sit still making it difficult to aim... sounds great!
I suspect a lot of reviews will bash the game for not feeling like a console game, but I'm quite happy with these reports.
Really though, Bethesda should have sent out PC review copies. It seems obvious that's how the game was meant to be played.

No if you walk into the first enemy stronghold then turn around, the PS3 loads them again as you walk forward in either direction.
The 360 does this when you spin fast but doesn't seem to do it when just walking forward no matter where you are going....or when running like a ninny backwards like I have to do against the enemies. AI is amazing. Simply said. Having a great time with it.
I agree that many console fans will find the enemies hard as hell at first, and of course thats what I like the most. You end up feeling pretty satisified taking enemies out and getting out alive.
1 Problem. Fucking main handgun. Headshots on unhelmeted foes should kill. And sometimes these don't.

the biggest selling point they've been pumping is the tech behind it, the new megatextures and whatnot. All of that is designed from the ground up with consoles in mind, in order to achieve better framerate without sacrificing graphics. Makes sense that this is the early stuff they wanna show. No one's gonna be surprised of a game looking this good and running this smooth on PC.

A lot of games have day 1 patches, so there's still a chance that the technical issues will be cleared up.

I can see that bothering people. And sometimes, for some games I am like that. I am sticking with the 360 and due to that rarely seeing the issue. But if you look for it...ya it is there for sure. Just par for the course sadly.
For the PC we can hope it doesn't work like that. It sounded like, from Carmack's talks, that the consoles have that due to some tradeoffs. So lets keep our fingers crossed for the PC version for sure.

It's there in the PC version as well, but it's the least noticeable of the three platforms. This is simply a reality of the way the technology works, Carmack himself has admitted this.

No auto-aim and the speed of combat seem to cater to KB/M more than controller. This doesn't surprise me given id's heritage.
It's a recurring sentiment in many of the hands on impressions. "Feels like a PC game", "movement is too sensitive" etc.

If the texture issue is that bothersome, you can indeed install 1 disk at a time on the 360. That's another thing. I can't figure out why the install time is so short on this game versus others. The install was like 1/2 1/4th the time. I kept thinking something was wrong.

Found another ps3 vid.

Ouch. I can attest that all the texturing and so forth thats in that video isn't THAT bad on the PS3. The ground textures don't foggy and unfoggy that close to you. They do it but its a bit farther out, at least it was when playing it.
Though at 1:35 and 4:25 its really easy to see the textures haven't overlaid on the ground and later in the walls at all.
One of the good things is inside, like that video, its not that bad in places. Outside is indeed a bit worse as show in the dune buggy levels where the detail texture is maybe 9 feet in front of the car
Are you serious? I could BARELY see the texture pop-in in that video and I had to fucking squint to see it. If this is as bad as it gets on the PS3 version then I just breathed a huge sigh of relief. No way in hell that was any worse than any UE3 game.Karak said:Ouch. I can attest that all the texturing and so forth thats in that video isn't THAT bad on the PS3.

This YouTube channel has about the first 2 hours of single player and a bunch of the co-op missions for those of you who don't mind spoilers and want to see what the gameplay is like.

Video.
Sadly that aint the same thing as playing. Hey, I love the game so I am not hammering it. Just saying what to expect in the actual game and in the outdoorsy parts versus a video. When you get it up and running 720p or 1080p or whatever res you run at, its there.
Again I love it so it doesn't bother me at all. But twisting around, or walking forward on the PS3 version, is going to net you texture popin. No denying it. I would just say, buy it and then you can actually say if it is better or worse. I wasn't the one bringing up UE3 games, so I am not sure what you mean. But if you are talking about say a ME game, ya those are atrocious at times.
As I have been saying, the AI, and the world make up for it, well at least to me.

I think this game is my most hyped game with Batman. I'm so damn excited. It's the visuals man.

Don't have time to watch it all but from what I've seen... Overreaction total.
Pfft I expected a clusterfuck, shit looks great. Day 1.
Thing about enemies running at you while doing saltos and other circus jumps - funny as fuck!
About auto aim - you can turn it off in most console fpses what I do sometimes.
Aiming on a pad w/o autoaim takes 5 times more skill to then on a mouse so actually it's pc gamers that go easy way.

Getting this bad boy on the PC but I watched those PS3 vids posted above and I don't see "unreal engine" texture pop in. There might have been some slight pop-in but who the fuck cares. I'm just happy this thing runs at 60fps. Kinda blows my mind that's even possible with the fidelity I've seen in some of the official videos that have been released.
