those stills are prolly before the manditory HD texture pack in the battlefield patch

yeah rage is definetely a stellar looking game. Rage just feels more natural. I love how the ID tech 5 engine doesn't have any angles. Everything has curves and I love how the textures don't repeat. AMAZING.

90% of the time Rage is one of the best looking games period. It's those close up muddy textures that don't stand up to the rest of the game. Once you stop looking for the crap textures, you'll realize just how good the game looks. I think Rage is definitely a next gen graphics engine, compared to a heavily modified current gen engine in Frostbite 2. I can't wait to see more games use ID tech 5.

RAGE = fail
BF3 = win

And this is coming from a die-hard id fan who played some of id's earliest games like Wolfenstein 3D.

Comparing BF3's graphics with those in Rage can be difficult since they are completely different games. BF3 tries to look photorealistic while Rage look more surreal.

But from a technical point of view, BF3 utilizes more effects, better lighting, destructible environments (something that Rage doesn't have at all), soft particles and plus some very very heavy shader effects especially on wet surfaces that look downright impressive.
Texture quality could be better but it still is miles ahead from Rage.

Rage manages to impress with solid performance, unique world setting and large scale environments. It's special in its own way. But the technology is certainly not cutting edge no matter how bad we want to believe it just because it's an id game.


I agree BF3 is much hyped on graphics but people who own the game and are able to play in ultra settings with zero compromise, will appreciate it better in later levels through the campaign mode. But claims that BF3 has crappy graphics and such, definitely come from people that either don't own the game or are negative biased towards it.

I hate the way you type. Is it so hard to add a few extra letters ?
Also you come off as a right really devoted fan. People hate it because they "svck".

a) Grow up.
B) Or they just have a different oppinion *gasp*

You're trying to reason with a post like that? Hah..

I don't see any "debate" going on here - just a bunch of flaming in all directions. Stop telling each other to "grow up" and behave like a grown up by not insulting each other.
