RAGE: The Scorchers DLC arrives next week

Tools aren't gimpy on purpose, that will be the response of UDK fanboys and modders wo are not real programmers.

Accessibility hurts performance and capability. Id wouldn't sacrifice that. Most skyrim creation kit modders won't have idea about id studio, only those who would invest the time to learn.
You dont need to defend id software. They arent relevant anymore when it comes to videogame development.
Short form: Absolutely nothing will be done with these "tools" when they are released. They released the source code for Doom BFG and after an initial flurry of activity .... well I think you see where I'm going. If they can't make their engine accessible and the tools useful then they deserve their irrelevency in the current marketplace and mod community.
Dont they have their logo on the startup of cod games? Its something I guess.
 
$5? Sold.

yeah they put a patch with higher rez me thinks

A sharpening filter was patched in, but it really doesn't help much at all and the game arguably looks worse with it enabled.

The first one they're selling separately. Rage had two prior DLCs (Anarchy Pack and Sewers), but they could only be acquired through other means, such as preordering.

I'm surprised those first two still aren't being sold on Steam.

The Anarchy Edition was only available via pre-ordering, but the sewers come with all new copies. (On the X360, said sewer DLC can be purchased for 800 points.)
 
Sold my copy way back when. Not even remotely interested.

Wait, you came into the thread just to tell everyone you don't care?

I beat RAGE on PS3...
If I rented it again on 360 and bought this DLC could I just jump into it right away or would it force me to play the whole game again first...?

that's a good question. I don't have it installed on Steam right now, and I'm not sure I have my saves still. Would like to just play through the new content instead of playing through the game again.
 
Bethesda has been on a heavy cash grab with ID since they arent putting out products... late rage DLC, Doom BFG edition and the Quake 4 re-release under Bethesda brand. I actually like all those things but im sure Beth would be happy for them to have Doom 4 ready.

Dont worry. They are focus testing it as we speak.
 
They arent going to make Doom. They are going to make what they think the market will want and it will be a disappointment.

Is this based on anything more than wild speculation?

Market tested and optimized doom sounds like a real devils contract by ID.

But it seems ID at least won against bethesda's battle for pricing this DLC.. it's way more content than what they're offering with dishonored and, for cheaper.
 
Wonderful game. Just the kind of back-to-basics FPS goodness the world needs and I'm damn excited for this DLC. Will play through again on ultra.

Wingsticks.

Wingtsticks!

EDIT: Here're the new screenshots, for the link dive-lazy:

Is it a new area on the map, or is this just going to load separately from the menu? I ask because awhile back I reformatted my 360 and this was one of the few save files I screwed up carrying over, so right now I have no saved game. I'll buy anyway, but if it's kind of expected that you would have your guns etc. I'll need to play through again first. IF it boots up separate and gives you separate gear, that'd be swell. But yea, for 400pts? Definitely.
 
The Anarchy Edition was only available via pre-ordering, but the sewers come with all new copies. (On the X360, said sewer DLC can be purchased for 800 points.)

Thanks, wasn't sure on the Sewers one. What was the point of that, discouraging selling used copies/encouraging buying new copies?
 
I think I'll finally nab Rage for cheap this steam holiday sale, then by the time I'm done with the dlc with probably only be a buck or 2.
 
I really loved Rage - bar the ending, it's probably one of the better FPS games I've played in a while. More of the same for $5 sounds like a bargain!

(unless they somehow manage to botch the launch again)
 
Lost all my RAGE savegames (I was a fool to assume Steam would keep them in the cloud) so this sounds like a perfect excuse for another run. 5 Eur sounds very reasonable too.
 
My 7870 was having some issues a few months back

If you're still having issues with texture streaming despite using the game's large texture cache setting and the latest drivers, the best you can do is take note of the last paragraph of the OP here and hope for the best. At this point, well over a year after release, you're simply unlucky if the game is temperamental.

Thanks you, wilco.
 
interesting. cant shake the feeling this may have been content intended to be in the base game but that didn't make it because id.

Scorchers clan was supposed to be in the base game, but was cut for whatever reason - DLC like this, probably.
 
RAGE has remained installed since release (except for a reinstall after a HDD died), awaiting an update.

Very happy to see the DLC finally come out, AND look so interesting :D



Though my RAM has halved since release, so hopefully it'll run alright with 2GB..
 
Looking forward to:

+ 60 fps
+ Glorious sound design
+ Meaty weapons
+ tight controls
+ Beatiful and seriously underrated art direction
+ Just more of an id Software game

(^___^)

Seriously, RAGE's last level can't undo the 20 hours of spectacular that came before it
