WOAH at the texture loading, even when looking around slowly. Screen tearing a bunch too.

No options except for resolution and AA settings.

BAD first impression.

 

[pakkit]

So I guess it really IS like Borderlands, but with more scripted encounters.

Whatever the case may be, I'm downloading it now on to my Xbox. It was pretty much all NBA 2k12 guys for the midnight launch at Gamestop, and then a few for Dark Souls, and then me for Rage.

 

[Chocoboko]

...and the Gametrailers video review has gone bye-bye...

Ya, I was wondering what was going on. I want to watch it gametrailers, what is the deal!

 

[Gvaz]

GUYS, DON'T READ THE 1UP REVIEW IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE AN ARKHAM CITY SPOILER TO THE RIGHT OF THE ARTICLE.

fuck you 1up

It sounds like something that happens in the start of the game....and they've advertised

Spoiler

him

too much with the game for it to be a permanent thing. I wouldn't worry about it.

Lets not try and pep up your favorite game getting a couple unfavorable reviews by bringing down other games, please. That's GameFAQs level posting there

You gotta be kidding me. Even on PC? Specs?

 

[burgerdog]

Resolution, full screen/windowed, and AA are the only graphic options.

Joystiq: Rage Review

"Written by Arthur Gies"

*closes tab*


Not being a jerk, my opinions are never in line with what he likes so there's no point in reading his review.

I feel the exact same way, I'm not sure what gaming planet he lives on but it is not the same one I'm on.

 

[Grinchy]

I cannot wait for people to start posting their PC screenshots! I find this game gorgeous in a purposely ugly way.

Same.

 

[MisterAnderson]

I'm not a fan of the not being able to choose my own graphic settings for this game. I'll pass until someone makes a mod for this game so I can choose max settings.

....There are no graphics settings in this?

Same here on a Radeon 5870.

This shit is awful. The textures in the distance don't even load, and I'm getting some weird-ass flickering problem.

Fuck me for hoping that id would come through on this.

[Grayman]

so what is the arkam city spoiler. I haven't seen it but I assume it is something like revealing a character such as the joker?

I want rage now RAAAAAGE. maybe I can play some tomorrow.

Great, I have the same card. Did you download the new ATI Rage drivers?

Its an event early in the game that seems like a much larger spoiler than it probably is.

 

[Grayman]

anyone dump a console command list yet so we can see about getting around the lack of video settings?

 

[Sinatar]

Wow texture pop in is awful on PC. Framerate was all over the place too.

i7 950, 12 GB RAM, Radeon 5870 GPU. I guess I know why ATI is releasing Rage specific drivers soon.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

oh wow he was right just loaded it up the only graphics options are AA and res and brightness

Maybe it has Xfire issues?

 

[Saren is Bad]

First impressions on PC (I mean, like 10 minutes into game):

- No graphics options except rez, AA, and GPU transcoding

- Had GPU Trans on at first and had shit ton of frame drops (SLI GTX 580), so turned it off

- Solid 60 FPS, looks gorgeous

- Screen tearing like a bitch

- Texture pop-in when turning

 

[Poimandres]

These performance issues don't sound good...

 

[Persona7]

PS3 or 360?

 

[Deleted member 17706]

I installed some drivers on an auto update this morning, but I'll check to be sure.

This sucks.

Have you tried using D3DOverrider to force triple buffering? And what is GPU Transcoding?

 

[Deadbeat]

I told you people. Brink 2.0. They didnt show the PC version for a reason.

holy shit!

I really hope this is because of drivers...

 

[burgerdog]

Holy shit!!!!! Astronomical amount of texture pop-in and tearing and I'm getting 20fps @ 1080p with an e8400 / 6870. Haha, owned. Should have bought for 360.

[LeonSKennedy90]

Get console version, don't have to worry about "oh god can my system run it, whats all this screen tearing do I have the right drivers installed" and other bullshit

 

[delta25]

might just stick with the 360 version after all.

 

[Sinatar]

It's OpenGL, D3DOverrider as it's name suggests only works on D3D.

 

[Poimandres]

Different engine, different developer.

Don't start this in here!

 

[Derrick01]

For the PC people with screen tearing, do any of you have d3doverrider? If it's tearing with that then we've got a problem, since I downloaded that like 8 months ago I've never had a tearing problem and never had to turn Vsync on.

edit: nvm I guess, bad news is bad

 

[Salsa]

there is 0 reason to compare this to brink?

Good point, sorry 'bout that.

 

[NullPointer]

Maybe. Might make a custom profile in RadeonPro and see what I can do here.

But right now:

* 30-35 fps
* Lots of texture loading at the edges
* Lots of flickering and some tearing
* Any time I change settings in the menu the screen goes black. Goes back to normal if I alt-tab out and then back in again.

This is literally the very first area in the game.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

This kind of worry has all but disappeared in modern PC gaming. I haven't had a problem with any game since 2007 or so.

I can't believe this shit is happening with a game from id of all companies.

 

[LeonSKennedy90]

But I thought this was id software and they can't do wrong?

 

[Mutagenic]

What are you getting at?

 

[bloodforge]

Anybody else's game glitching like mad? I keep getting parts of the level blacking out.

 

[Sinatar]

Where is the download link for these ATI Rage drivers?

EDIT: Found it: http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/GPU121AMDCatRagePerfDriver.aspx

 

[DopeyFish]

yay! i can't even play it

"Rage has stopped working"

ati radeon 6990m

wtf is this shit

 

[MisterAnderson]

What does "GPU Transcode" in the options do?

 

[Deadbeat]

But I thought this was id software and they can't do wrong?

and now they eat their crow.

 

[GhostRidah]

wow the texture loading is so damn bad

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Yep. I stopped playing because of it within 3 minutes of entering the game.

The flickering, texture load (or rather failure to load) and screen tearing bothered the shit out of me.

The framerate was smooth at least.

 

[ProtoCents]

I'll check back into this OT on Friday. I think the PC performance discussion will die down by then.

 

[Derrick01]

maybe they uploaded the dev version on accident, that seems to be happening more and more lately
