I am starting a new game on Nightmare and decided to take pics of all the garbage I see as I progress. So I have three from my first "quest".

There will be many more to come. My favorite by far though is the top pic. I think they just took a random screen shot out of the SNES Crash Test Dummies game and glued it in their background. Beautiful!

i dont see whats so bad about those..meh..

You are a crazy person sir. Crazy.

you may be on to something there..

If we have to be 100 % honest, detail levels of some things date back to 2004 maybe backwards...

I urge you all to take screen caps of any other recently released games. Don't forget extreme close ups.
You know, for comparison, rather than blind fury.

Sure, lemme hop on Witcher 2 real quick.

lets save you the trouble. here is a screen cap.

ya, it looks sooo much better.
check out the split and wood grain not lining up on the peg on that wheel.
the blurry and inconsistant textures on the wheel it self.
lack of depth on the leaves in the BG

See how easy it is to tear apart a screen cap?

rage has no repeating textures=win

Stop trolling man. This game looks extremely good on my gtx260. Az it runs at 60 fps. So stop trolling.

That looks nothing like my Witcher 2. Those are probably set on medium settings. Why is it so hard to admit that there are puke blurry textures everywhere? Are you guys so up on Carmack's sack that you just deny blatant facts? You are like Republicans and Christians. You just see what you want.

I am not trolling. I am giving people a place to vent their disappointment about this games lackluster textures. The title of my thread states what it is, so if you don't like that topic stay the [GROWN UP NAUGHTY WORD] out of the thread. [INSERT ANOTHER OBSCENITY HERE]

.....and the difference with you is.....?

When I see something bad, I don't pretend it doesn't exist.

No, but when you see something good you completely ignore it and home in on any bad, even the smallest, and blow it entirely out of proportion. Go on, prove me wrong, start an "Awesome Rage Screenshots" thread. I dare you.

A few shots:

Totally forgot about Metro 2033. Beautiful looking game.

Doesnt matter what the settings are at, if the textures themselves don't match up.
a single piece of wood in that pic has two different textures on it, and the splits in the end of that gear dont line up.
thats not a setting issue, thats mis-matched cut and paste texture.

I certainly do not deny that up close some textures look blurry in RAGE. Context is key here.
I am aware that this is a result of the textures having to be compressed, because you simply wouldn't be able to store the uncompressed hand painted textures on your machine. In short, for this game to run to its fullest potential, HW technology has to play catch up. and whats more, other games that you would compare this against will have repeating textures, which RAGE does not have. 60FPS is also a pretty big deal- dont mind a bit of up close blurriness to have more fluid like movement in game. Like i said, context is key. You can lament that the graphics are a step back 10 years all you want- to this date, there aren't any other games that use completely unique texturing. So until you find better looking games that have completely unique textures, i will continue to throw the BS flag on threads like these.

That is because the ugliness ruins it. Let's put it in different terms.... take a GORGEOUS woman... I mean just absolutely head to toe gorgeous. But when you see her naked, she has weird blotchy nipbles that don't match her skin at all and her downstairs arrangements look like someone stepped on an Arby's sandwich. Now... are you ever going to look at her the same again? NO.

anytime you're willing to refute my statments with something substantial like facts other than a really poor metaphor that doesnt really add up, i'll be here.

How did you come to the conclusion that that comment was directed at you? I quoted the person I was retorting to and that person was not you. Unless you have 2 names for some odd reason.

opps

still stands though.

Not really. I posted pictures of Rage's horrid textures. What else do you need? The whole point of this thread is to post pics of the dog crap textures so HOPEFULLY they will be fixed.

They hyped the 'unique environments' because of megatextures. Too bad that takes up so much space, that the end product looks like a steaming pile of S'HIT. A unique steaming pile of S'HIT.

The fix would be releasing and uncompressed game, which wouldnt be practical.
good luck DL'ing over a terrabyte of textures


as for the person you did quote, they were alluding to this,.
instead of looking at what rages graphics are- completely unique, you go for the "graphics r blurry" response as if you don't understand why they are the way they are.

I will go for these semi-blurry. completely unique graphics over tiled reapeating textures any day of the week, because its only going to get better with time.
its actually innovative, instead of doing a semi-decent job using the same old tricks that everyone uses, which are at the height of their potential..

Meanwhile, in Battlefield 3..
