[Wag]

OK, I just pre-ordered the PC version w/50%+ trade-in deal at Best Buy. If it sucks everyone here is going to have to pay me $1.

The asst mgr told me he got to play the 360 version at a press-junket over the weekend. He told me the game was a lot of fun and some of the bosses took quite a long time to beat. More than average for a FPS is what he said.

Interesting, PS3 version to have less texture pop-in?

John Carmack discussed as recently as QuakeCon earlier this month some of the issues with optimising Rage on all platforms, and confirmed that tech limitations still result in such things as texture pop-in on versions of the game.

Willits told NowGamer that the way Rage uses the PS3's multi-core processors would reduce pop-in.

"The extra cores are assigned to work on textures in the background, as there's tons of visual data on the blu ray and on the hard drive," he explained. "We load compressed JPG data, and assign those extra cores to work on these textures, and uncompress them in the background so there is no nasty pop up, or blurred textures."

I so want to get this game but I won't have the required available HDD space for my 360 until I upgrade.. oh well.

 

[Cystm]

I was only somewhat interested in this game until I read through this OT. Got me hyped. Well done.

Oh the PC version works too? I only saw the console versions online.

Will need to pick that up.

you've just been Carmack'd

 

[garath]

Well, failing to find a better deal I pre-ordered the PC version on Amazon with the $10 promo credit. I order so much stuff from Amazon it's as good as $10 off.

This is only the 3rd game I've pre-ordered this year. I can't wait.

old news. i posted it earlier.

 

[Chesskid1]

most games ship to stores on thursday/friday so we can prolly expect direct feed footage around then, except for PC version of course. was fun with LA Noire.

Wait so if I have 360 and PS3 which is the version to get?

 

[Man]

If no or little texture pop-in then that's a big win. Carmack described it as one of the engines main flaws.
You get it every time you turn around (especially if you back up a long way and then turn around).

 

[jfkgoblue]

game looks badass... still trying to decide between PC Version and 360 version, the game will look so much better on my laptop, but I just prefer playing games on a console for some reason

 

[spirity]

iD are legends in my eyes, the Doom and Quake series astounded me as I was growing up. Getting Rage was never even a question. Can't wait.

I was about to laugh and give you the obvious answer, but a laptop? Hmmm. Screen size could possibly diminish the experience. I'd probably get it on the console if those were my only two options.

BAH! He can pipe his laptop visuals to his monitor. Like a bauce.

 

[8sanders]

Damn. Just saw a commercial for this last night. Went from completely off my radar to totally fucking hyped. Looks incredible.

 

[Gattsu25]

That's actually the Rage TV spot commercial

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GooazR-tmG4

You can tell just by watching this that they are not allowed to shoot living creatures in game ads. Every bullet against robots are dead-on but shoot at a living enemy and they aim for the ground (the jetpack backpack being the sole exception).

have a 24 inch 1080p moniter that i hookup my xbox and laptop to... so screen size would be the same

It is an id software game - it'll probably be better optimized and have the right feel on a PC due to their experience on that platform (just like any PC dev like Valve, Crytek, e.t.c)

 

[Bloodrage]

Wait so if I have 360 and PS3 which is the version to get?

3 DVD + optional full game install (22 GB) VS. 1 BD + mandatory install (8 GB)

Am I missing anything?

^ PS3 footage, and can't find shit on the 360 version.

I'd say wait for a proper comparison by Digital Foundry 'cuz we really don't know shit.

Get the 360 version. Gaming on a laptop? Ew.


(i used to play counterstrike on an old HP pavillion and still have a sour taste. it's probably actually fine)

Yeah, gaming on a laptop is actually not that bad. Especially if you use an external monitor, speakers, mouse and keyboard.

360 version was shown at E3 2010, actually, they are mainly showing 360 version.

tbh it doesnt really feel like I am playing on a laptop when when I play games.... I have an asus G73sw with a 24 inch 1080p monitor will play pretty much every game on max, my computer is not the issue at all, it is kinda hard to explain but I like playing games on consoles more than PC even though my PC is very good

 

[Gav47]

The preload had better materialise within the next few days, its going to take along time to download on my connection -_-

You know, I'm actually sad there is regenerating health. I just played through singularity recently and it was a nice throwback to have health and healthpacks/stims.

The water effects are incredible though. I love the droplets on the scope.

You might really enjoy Resistance 3 then.



The only headache with waiting for a Digital Foundry analysis is that then you're likely to miss out on deals. For example, Amazon is offering a $10 credit if you pre-order RAGE.

 

[Fersis]

You know what would be the best Rage Limited Edition bonus ever ever?
An armbar by Carmack.

 

[Mechanized]

It's funny. When the game was first revealed and showed off I really didn't care about it at all, but in the last few months I'm really digging it. It just looks so slick. I want this game inside me. PC version for me.

yes, yes, submit

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

quick question that may have been answered already but does this game have any RPG elements (like fallout) or is it more of just a straight up FPS?

 

[Alienups]

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

this looks kinda lame. invisible bullets out of the gun?

 

[Wallach]

Muzzle flash, smoke, recoil. Yep, it's a gun.

 

[Grayman]

that dive looks pretty awesome. not many games get responses like that.

The game is not an RPG like bethseda's fallout but some people have really talked up the exploration and town aspects in previews.

 

[Salsa]

It also has an inventory

Strange thing is nobody has really answered this. There is still a ton of confusion surrounding how the gameplay is actually put together. We know there isn't stats or loot. I think it's going to be like Wolfenstein or Deus Ex: hub areas with NPC interactions, who will then send you out on missions to locations that are their own, self-contained "levels."

 

[Eurocult]

This will be me on release day

Thanks for ruining what could have been the biggest surprise of this weeks Breaking Bad. You know it only aired less than 24 hours ago. The hell is wrong with you?

So many people think they are going to get borderlands or fallout. I think it might get a blowback like Brink, but smaller.

 

[Gvaz]

I've never seen breaking bad, don't know who any of those are, and by the time I actually watch breaking bad, I'll have forgotten all about whatever he posted and the relevance.

Feels great man.

 

[Sutton Dagger]

So what's the cheapest price for Rage, any decent deals?

 

[Grayman]

One time I got mad at Dylan Jobe for spoiling a UFC fight on twitter, he responded it might have even been an apology, then I realized I was so far in wrong.

 

[RustyNails]

All hail based Carmack.
