Speaking of Goodman, I love that he does a voice in the game.
Slowdown (mostly in the overworld, not too bad elsewhere), pop-in, and dialogue lines cutting off before they are finished. Using ATI though, so that seems to be the issue. ):
From what I can tell the game will actually be good when they get this shit together though. Really like the art design, and the shooting feels nice and meaty. If it weren't for the pop-in I would actually say using unique textures over tiled textures really makes a difference for the big picture.
Hopefully they can fix it relatively quickly. The slow patching was why I gave up on Brink, which I was liking but was just running bad.
Also, it crashed once.

Well with the 11.6 catalyst drivers, at least the game is somewhat playable. The flickering and screen tearing are completely gone, but goddamn if the texture pop-in isn't as bad as ever. It wasn't so bad while on the buggy in the wasteland, but everywhere else it was ass. The game certainly isn't running at 60fps most of the time either.
I made it a bit into the first "instance" and had a bit of fun shooting guys, despite the texture issues, but then the game crashed on me "Rage has stopped working". Yay...
I'm definitely not impressed with this game so far. The art direction is great, and I love the direction they are going for, but the game looks pretty damn bad. These are some of the muddiest textures I've seen in the last five years or more. Even when fully loaded, most of the texture look really, really bad. Of course, that might just be due to the engine picking lower res texture--I have no way to tell since there aren't any graphics options to play with.
Another big disappointment for me is the complete lack of interaction with the environment. Everything is static, and I don't think the game has a physics engine to speak of. Hell, you don't even get a little bullet whole decal on windows when you shoot them. I'm sure if everything was looking how it should, the game would be a pretty sight, but the static nature of the environment definitely doesn't make it feel like a modern game.

Rage is running perfect on my machine. Butter smooth. Some video options would be awesome though. Some of the most hit and miss art I've ever seen. Texture res is so horrible in places, it's almost hard to believe. But hot damn, those vistas are gorgeous.
Game feels incredibly old school, but not so much in a good way. Very linear so far. Now I can see what the Gamasutra interview was about.

Open GL games. It's been this way since Doom 3.leng jai said:
Playing Superior Xbox Version on my 1080p monitor (getting a little picky, eh).
Impressions:
I'm a little over one hour in, and I'm playing very meticulously.
Positives:
+This is obviously a game that wants you to look at it. There are a lot of unique textures and art assets being used.
+60 FPS is immediately noticable on consoles, and makes the generally sluggish gamepad controls feel twitchy. Feels good man, but I need some time to adjust.
+Texture pop-in is less than half a second, and very negligible. Doesn't bother me.
+This isn't a "brown" shooter. The artists at id have definitely gotten prioritized. The vistas are already incredible, and well put together. These touches are what give the barebones story flourish. For example, I can tell that the Ghost clan are hoarders from their metallic scarecrows made out of lamp posts and other contemporary metal goods.
+The sound design is good so far. The pistol feels a little too tinny, but other than that the ambiance is great. The sound of the wind whistling through a timeworn apartment complex changes from room to room.
+I can already tell Wingsticks are awesome, and having to cook grenades to get kills is something that I've always thought more games should implement. You're rewarded handsomely too, with dat blood mist.
+I like the enemy behavior. There seems to be plenty of variation already. I'm not sure if it's AI or prescripted, but it's worked well so far.
Negatives:
-The artists and high frame rate at id have definitely gotten prioritized, at the expense of some interactivity many gamers take for granted at this point. The player's model does not cast shadows against the gameworld. Shooting non-enemies rarely results in anything satisfying (I shot a small lamp, and it just showed a bullet hole). It's not that id tech5 can't do these small scale physics/effects, it's just that id has forgone these techniques to maximize preformance on consoles. The effect, so far, is a game that is beautiful to look at, but it's lack of life makes it feel a little more static than it should.
- Everyone is asking me favors up front in exchange for swag. I may have underestimated how much this game resembles Borderlands in structure.
- The buggy isn't that fun to use (and the player animates unnaturally in 3rd-person while driving it), but it's an introductory vehicle so I'll give that a pass.
- At least on Hard difficulty, headshots aren't always giving me a one shot kill. That seems wrong to me. If I shoot someone in the brain, they should stay down.
- Enemies drop weapons that you can't pick up. It wouldn't bother me too much if my arsenal wasn't limited to a pistol in these first couple of missions.
This game is still starting, so I'll hold my breath. It feels good so far, but not great. Still, the game is about the guns and gunplay, and I've not even tapped the arsenal so far. Not to mention crafting, racing, or the card game (WTF there's a card game in this?).

I believe the above site gives you working drivers for those laptops that cannot get them installed. It's been a few years since I used it. Not quite sure if there is anything bad about the drivers though.

I usually stick with a stable set of GPU drivers and I rarely have issues, green or red. Open GL games are an exception to that.pottuvoi said:

I got the console working... anyway to up texture res and stop it from failing to load?

So glad I didn't pre-order this. id not correctly programming for half the GPU market is AMD's fault, okay.

The game is running great here, solid 60fps @ 1080p, played a little over an hour, however I'm not sure about the green shadows im seeing in some areas? For example: http://i.imgur.com/jSvZY.jpg ,Not normal or?

So, they are saying achievments will be disabled if you enable the console. Be warned, if you care about shit like that, lol
