Hi there,

I′m new here, and really impressed about Rage. The first thing that I natocied with "wow effect" in screens was the great sky(box) in Rage. I don′t know how, but it seems id uses any kind of new technology. Because they looking damn sweet and colorful, especially the clouds looks great and volumetric. Until my first live time presentation (at Gamescom 2010) I thought there is something wrong with the sky, because he looks to perfectly... But there is nothing wrong, its real in game!

I was confused, because Sky and/or skyboxes not are the strength of previous id-tech games (Doom3, Quake4, and so on), but this really a masterpiece. So grab some screens with Sky on top (you will find many) and post your opinion about the Sky in Rage.

I hope we can expect weather effects or a day and night cycle, is anything about that already announced?

best regards,
Fireseed

Wait until you see it in person.

Bio shock had the ocean(water realism)

but

Rage has the skies

Well, I guess http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pV_TDxl2UIo now

Does that Rage 2 will be underwater

or underground :hubbahubba:

Ehh... Sky is ok -- Its the horizon that grabs my attention and not back drop images/vistas. I like to see someting and be able to walk to it/drive. Well, rain too is great. Most creative rain storm in video games, Red dead redemption -- Puddles gather, everything gets wet, lightining strikes, clouds look realistic.
