Description: RAGE is a groundbreaking first-person shooter set in the not-too-distant future after an asteroid impacts Earth, leaving a ravaged world behind. You emerge into this vast wasteland to discover humanity working to rebuild itself against such forces as bandit gangs, mutants, and the Authority – an oppressive government regime that has a special interest in you in particular. Featuring intense first-person shooter action, breakneck vehicle combat, an expansive world to explore and jaw-dropping graphics powered by id’s revolutionary id Tech 5 technology, RAGE promises an experience like no other.

Story Overview: Fearing a planet-wide extinction from a massive asteroid headed towards Earth, world leaders are faced with the inexorable task of ensuring human survival. Left with few alternatives, life-sustaining pods filled with select people are buried deep beneath the earth’s surface. You are one of the chosen members of these modern day arks and abruptly enter the RAGE universe after surfacing alone. Leaving you to your own devices to stay alive in a world filled with those who prefer you dead, RAGE combines powerful storytelling with heart-pounding action.

Key Features:

# Visceral 1st-person gunplay and exploration – Take on bandit gangs and hordes of mutants using an arsenal of exotic weapons and special items, such as wingsticks, personal turrets, sentry bots, and remote-controlled bomb cars.

# Frenetic 3rd-person vehicular mayhem – Burn rubber across the wasteland in your very own super buggy! Upgrade and customize your car with special parts, paint jobs and weapons, then test your skills as you battle four-wheeling bandit clans and participate in deadly races.

# Three ways to play for unlimited action – Immerse yourself in a rich story-driven single-player experience, grab a friend for exclusive co-op modes, or go online for all-out multiplayer mayhem.

# An expansive experience – Beyond the first-person action and vehicle combat, RAGE offers a world open to explore, with unique characters, side quests, and a compelling storyline.

# Graphics that have to be seen to be believed – Powered by id’s cutting-edge new id Tech 5 engine, new Megatexture technology brings the vast wasteland to life in never-before- possible detail with action running at an astounding 60 frames per second.

I seriously can't wait the this game

Okay, I really hope those are 360 screenshots. The people look great.... and sure, that texturing system pretty much makes tiling textures a thing of the past.... but damn are some of those textures blurry! Half-Life 2 and games that run on 6 year old engines like Necrovision have sharper textures than that. I seriously hope thats just the 360 version with compressed textures, the PC version better be able to crank up that texture resolution.

Also, on some of those first person viewmodels like the ak47 and pistol looking thing, I think they could really throw some more polygons on that bad boy. Some of those polygon edges are just too blatant. some of the details on the gun just look really flat.... I know id is all about optimization but they shouldn't skimp on the object that you will be seeing from the closest perspective, carve out more detail into those viewmodels, please.

As an avid Quake fanatic I just offer this as constructive criticism and not as insults. Rage is easily one of my most anticipated games, I was saddened to find out recently that its delayed till 2011. I will be getting the PC version.

As far as I know, those are 360 screenshots only modified w/ AA / 1080p resolution. Even if this is the case, and these textures are low res on PC, there probably is a good reason for that. Seeing all of this in movement can definitely take you away from examining a still photo to find flaws . But I have no doubt the PC version will be beefed up.

Hello.Thank you very much for the basics sheet and the screenshots.I'm really excited about the game, I will love to see the progress of the game in the coming months. :celebration:

Thank you.

Textures look bad? No way! Textures look superb and i cant recall any game that has better textures. Just look that second picture where that cute woman is. I love the how the paint is run-down on the walls and that cola machine. :foodndrink:

Hopefully she is somewhat important character. Hopefully a companion or something like that. :whistling:

Nice.

It's like what Borderlands was supposed to be, but they didn't have time

Is this going to be a open ended game or just a story driven shooter?
