Why is there no animation of you entering and exiting the cars?!

You do remember that in Halo Combat Evolved there was such animation for entering/exiting every single vehicle, furthermore that would be the only opportunity to look at your character(whom you upgraded with armor!).

I really hope you will add such animations in future patches...this is just sloppy and immersion breaking, popping in and out of vehicles with no transition whatsoever.

Does anyone know where to download high quality Rage wallpaper?

Official site has some HQ wallpapers, also other images too in Media section...

In looking at the wallpapers I realize that THIS is the game that I paid for, look at dead city alone, building textures look amazing - id trying to tell me I have to buy an xbox (since Carmack seems to prefer the 360) to get these textures and that my video cards which cost 3x as much as a console, or CPU that costs 2x as much isn't sufficient to process these types of textures?

I paid for the Rage I saw in the promos/these types of "HD" wallpapers, not one that has mario brothers type textures that look pre-quake.

Anyone know what the "justification" is for those looking so good, when in reality the game looks about 1/2 that clean? (or much worse in some spots)


Edit: Look at this: http://www.rage.com/images/site/downloads/wallpaper/set1/rage-desktop-1-2560x1600.jpg
compared to REALITY: http://oi56.tinypic.com/23h69zc.jpg (note, which is AFTER the tweaks to make it look 'right' link: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2166471&highlight=city+screenshot

By looking at the 'promo' or first link, you can see that the art team INDEED did their work, so is this all engine/Carmack fail?

In response to the thread, I'd like to have seen some animations to get in/out of the vehicles, but your /thirdperson and /playershadows don't have any animations so... wishful thinking.

That's a great link, thanks

... but the "in-game" screen still look like 1/2 as good in comparison to the HD ones "officially" provided. (above).
