Haha!
I actually remember something a bit different, an article from Edge about how what the engine does might not be what most developers would be interested in: http://www.next-gen.biz/features/rage-under-hood
There seems to be MUCH less pop-in in RAGE.Kem0sabe said:Its funny how people were all excited when "bethesda" (zenimax) bought id, hoping for elder scrolls games with rage graphics.
After the release of rage, its the other way around, people hoping for id games with skyrim graphics
Skyrim looks nice, but it's all outside corridors. Even then, the draw distance on bushes is horrendous (on consoles, of course).
Apples to oranges, IMO.

Hmm interesting.angular graphics said:
I think the article I was quoting (or paraphrasing, more accurately) was one of the very first about the game because it was from years ago.
Or I just remembered the positive hype comments and not the more negative ones, which is certainly a possibility.

Yep, once again id makes an engine that no one will really use ('cept their parnters) ala DoomIII

I guess i was just a bit disappointing by the "misleading" marketing on rage, ended up hoping for an open ended semi rpg shooter, to tidy me up till skyrim, but all i ended up getting was a traditional id corridor shooter with some outside bits tacked on... that leaves me a bitter bitter man

Really?
I never once thought this was gonna be anything more than a refined/evolved id shooter. They themselves said as such numerous times. Even the marketing didn't really suggest otherwise.
Frankly this is all I want.
Don't need open-world just for the sake of it ala so many games this Generation.

I'm glad I didn't pre-order this. Will probably grab it during the Steam holiday sale if the price is right.

Wow.

. I just assumed this was id's take on trying to do something new.Kem0sabe said:I guess i was just a bit disappointing by the "misleading" marketing on rage, ended up hoping for an open ended semi rpg shooter, to tidy me up till skyrim, but all i ended up getting was a traditional id corridor shooter with some outside bits tacked on... that leaves me a bitter bitter man
I'm welcoming a corridor shooter at this point. The trend these days is to make a shooter, add a cover system, throw a few RPG elements in, and you have just about every other game out there...

I'm such a tech geek. Its been so long since i experienced a buggy PC game launch that I'm actually excited to faff about and try different drivers and workarounds.
Obviously that's no defense for the game being released released in the state it seems to have been released in, but I'm going to get some perverse enjoyment out of it. I remember what the doom 3 launch was like... Patching in that code into the ATI version to make the flashlight work quicker and all that mess.
I won't have it until later tonight, but looks like I'll be rolling up my sleeves. Who knows, maybe I'll get to play and enjoy it a bit too.

I don't think so, but consider how large the world is and how little repeated art it contains. I honestly think a good bulk of the long development has been making all the assets.codhand said:

so Nvidia cards run the game fine? or still lots of pop in and stuff?

It's just archiac and kind of ugly at this point. If the trade off is slightly longer loading of textures (lest us not forget the 360 version still has this problem anyway), then so be it.
MS should have at least allowed for the option of one disc needed only after both discs are installed. Also, it's 20+ gbs worth of data, which IS a concern for some people.
At least Sony helped out id and allowed them to extend their HDD install limit. Was this the first game besides GT5 that they allowed to do this?

For sure, the Games on Demand version of Rage should be interesting
Are they any multi-disc titles on GoD right now? If so, how do they work?

arggg, the gamersyde videos they uploaded are a buttery 60fps, but it's the 360 version.
anyone know of anywhere that has 60fps PS3 version footage? doesn't have to be HD.

Man those textures are ass. Megatexturing may be good for development but if the end result is a 20+GB download of blurry textures and static lighting I can't see it having much of a future.

With Doom4 and MachineGames upcoming project, we'll see if indeed it's a dead end tech I presume.

this is what i've wanted to see for months/years. the PS3 version running at the claimed 60fps. i won't believe it until i see it.
i'm going for the PS3 version if it's solid, and pretty much as good as it can be on the console. i don't mind slight blurriness or whatever, as long as the framerate is what was promised.
a shoddy PS3 port will force me to buy this on PC, and i don't like playing on my PC

Heading out to get the PC version soon.

Well maybe it was ~25 not 100% certain as there was a small bit of time between change out for me, but it certainly felt up there with the longest installs. Runs so smoothly though I can't complain too much.
So with the multiplayer disc in this the install is probably about the same time wise.

looking for the PS3 version, not 360. i know everyone says "they're identical it doesn't matter" but a lot of us want to see it for ourselves.
all of the PS3 version videos i can find are all 30fps due to limitations of the video itself (be it flash video, or encoded at 30fps)

You know you've been doing engineering too long when the lighting fixtures and layout in their office bugs the hell out of you.reektann said:
Game definitely looks sharper on 360, but I'll go with the blue ray.
Hmm, so performance on ATI cards does seem to be poor. I'm seriously crushed here.
I'll try it when I get back, but I'm tempted to just send it back unopened and buy the console version instead. I just assumed PC performance would be flawless.
This is why PC gaming gets on my nerves sometimes. It CAN be great, but then you run into this kind of shit. Anticipating a new game only to find that it doesn't work properly on your hardware for no good reason.
