Support NeoGAF

I think IGN got its review right. I mean, they praised what you expected from id - groundbreaking visuals and great shooting, unfortunatly story probably sucks and thats what brings down the whole experience a bit. Mind you, it still sound like amazing game for all FPS lovers (myself included) but I'm glad that people finally recognize that for 9+ you have to have more than just pretty graphics and great shooting.

Can't wait to play it, my copy has arrived

Is this the... Ermmm... Quake V logo?

Running SLI GTX 560ti with the latest beta drivers and no problems here. Graphics are kind of blowing me away.

SLI GTX 560Ti w/ latest beta drivers (Win7 x6). No framerate/hitching issues.

Running on GTX 580, 3D 120hz monitor, (8xAA, 2xSS, 16xAF, Triple Buff and Vsync all set with Nvidia Inspector). EDIT: Using Nvidia 285.38 BETA drivers.

Game is running silky smooth with frame rate locked @60 with no dips. Other than some blurry textures close-up and some minor pop-up occasionally when making quick turns I haven't had any problems with the graphics. I'd definitely like to increase FOV and make a few tweaks, but I'm not having any game breaking issues so far.

Great news. Sounds like it should be alright for Green Team then. Good to see some SLI reports, as I'm running 580 SLI. I'm expecting to run this game at 120fps+, and in 3D. Gonna crush this game.

Played a bit on PC here. Game is gorgeous but textures up close are pretty awful. It's inexcusable to not allow PC gamers to tweak the settings. Still, it's one of the most gorgeous games out there and the engine is very impressive.

It still feels like an amateur attempt at creating a AAA game though:

- Weird transitions from cutscenes to gameplay
- Jarring tutorial pop-ups
- Combat is boring with unsatisfying visual feedback from the enemies (thus far)
- Driving is TERRIBLE. It feels like I'm driving a vehicle in a PC game from the 90s. No physics just turning the "camera".
- No physics on most objects in the game world
- Sound for the pistol is awful, same goes for other things... perhaps it's a bug because it doesn't sound like I think it's supposed to. Too bad I can't change the settings...

I'm extremely early on obviously, but I'm unimpressed save for the gorgeous graphics.

Well I can't really comment on the quality of the game itself because, well, I have an AMD card

I can say though that the audio quality in the intro movie is ABHORRENT. It would have been quite beautiful if I wasn't trying to claw my ears off from all the distortion. The sound quality from the FMV in Quake 2 was better than this!

8 more hours....GO FAST, WORK DAY, PLZ

 

[Mohonky]

So whats the verdict....

I like Achievements, but PC's are getting way beyond what's achievable on a console. So;

Xbox360 for achievements?
Or will it look vastly superior on my PC (i7 920, 6gb DDR3, 1.2gb GTX570)?

If the PC is only marginally better at what settings I can run the game at on PC, I will get Xbox360 for achievements. However if my PC is going to blow the Xbox360 version away visually, will get on PC.

Also I'll be using 360 pad either way simply because mouse + keyboard isn't viable laying in bed in front of home theatre.

Discussion on that comparison occurred a few pages back.

Oh, didn't see, thought it was only just posted on the site :x

 

[D6AMIA6N]

Too much of a mixed bag. Nothing I've read on GAF, or otherwise has made RAGE sound like a day one purchase. Son I am disappoint, pre-order cancelled.

EDIT: Back to Gears

 

[sykoex]

Aw I was hoping there'd be a RAGE demo to see how it ran on my PC. Ah well. Looks like a pretty cool game judging by the Quick Look on Giant Bomb.

What tutorials???
And you don't think when you hit enemies how they stumble around depending on where you hit them is not satisfying? the fuck? Or how they use their environment from cover to running and dodging you as satisfying?

 

[Nostalgia~4ever]

(not my pic)
So the game autodetects all Hardware, and it seems that the configurator thinks that some cards have 0 MB video memory, and currently there are not way to manually override this. lol.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Autodetecting settings being shit compared to just choosing your own options? Who would've guessed.

What a fucking retarded idea.

 

[Solo]

First day technical issues aside, how is it, my master race bros?

 

[daxter01]

any kind of motion blur in console versions?

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Also, where are the screenshots? I just checked the high res thread and none in there either.

 

[subversus]

Haha, that is terrible but expectd from autoconfigurators. It seems that I'm skipping this for the sake of my time.

 

[Mango Positive]

Whew... GTX 560ti and I was getting the WORST screen tearing. It was unplayable. Fortunately, someone recommended NvInspector and I was able to force it there. The game is beautiful when it works. Hope you other people find a quick fix for your issues.

 

[Solo]

I will be spamming the shit out of that thread in another 8 hours when I get to play. But yeah, no one has taken any shots yet.

No screenshots, but here's a video I've found: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWxh902LPoo

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

You should be banned from GAF if you get a PC game on day 1 and don't post a lot of screenshots.

Edit: Cheers for vid!

Agreed, what happen to the PC Screenshot thread, was expecting it to be flooded!

 

[derFeef]

Game looks great im motion.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

The outdoor environments, lighting and sky boxes are some of the best I've seen. Absolutely beautiful.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

That video looks quite nice in motion.

I wonder how the textures are up-close.

 

[luka]

In case anyone still wonders what the game looks like at 60 fps, our videos are up
http://www.gamersyde.com/news_our_videos_of_rage-12013_en.html

God...damn.

It makes me sad that I wish I had the console version right now.

 

[reektann]

Enemy reaction to bullets looks pretty great in that video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=TWxh902LPoo#t=229s

I've seen a few screenshots, and you don't want to know >_>

 

[Sutton Dagger]

I'm actually glad that Rage is coming out latter for us in PAL land now, just like Dead Island the kinks are patched out by the time we get it.

At least that's what I'm telling myself...

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

I've seen a few screenshots, and you don't want to know >_>

That's what I was worried about.

 

[angular graphics]

That's what I was worried about.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

... Those are ones that haven't loaded in, right?

It can't POSSIBLY look like that?

If it does, steam sale confirmed.

I can't and don't know for sure, but I think they are fully loaded..

 

[subversus]

Dennis will be pleased.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Jesus.

 

[StuBurns]

U G L Y you ain't got no alibi.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

U G L Y you ain't got no alibi.

Weren't you the one who was arguing that consoles wouldn't hold it back with me?

 

[derFeef]

So... I hope that's a bug and highres is somehow disabled, because I can't believe there are 21gb of lowres textures.

 

[StuBurns]

Weren't you the one who was arguing that consoles wouldn't hold it back with me?

Hell no.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Ah fair enough. I take my smugness back!

 

[StuBurns]

Ah fair enough. I take my smugness back!

DVD is the issue here. The PC version could be stunning, they could use the 100GB uncompressed assets if they wanted to. Carmack said people don't want stacks of 8 DVDs. I think he's wrong personally.

 

[pottuvoi]

100GB is uncompressed RGB megatextures.

Compression rate is around 1:20 so no.. uncompressed textures would be a lot bigger than 100GB.
Actually single 128k texture with 8 8bit channels (RGB,normal,specular) would be ~130GB and the game has at least 2 of those..

I'll help:

Wiki MegaTexture

Megatextures are also used for moving objects, although it's not the same one as for static objects.
Only transparent things like grass and particles do not use MT.

If it gives me games that look better than what's in that pictures it could be 1tb of textures for all I care!

I have tbs of space on my HDDs for a reason. Use that space, devs!

 

[Nostalgia~4ever]

wtf?

 

[angular graphics]

That's what Carmack said. The uncompressed megatextures are 100GB.

Thread title and iD's motto sounds funny right now.

Carmack said when compiled the uncompressed assets which were used for the final game were about 100GB. Maybe he's wrong though.

Yeah, exactly. Most people will buy it online, so they don't need DVDs, lots of people have uncapped internet, everyone has hundreds of GB of space at the very least.

Maybe they'll change their mind and release a 'HD' version like they did for the iPhone game.

 

[Arcipello]

welcome to the megatexture folks!

 

[angular graphics]

wtf?

The megatextures haven't loaded properly in this.

It should look like this:

which is still utter crap, but a little "better".
