GameFront: Almost a year has passed since the release of id Software’s last major game, RAGE, and its difficult birth on the PC. The launch even prompted an apology from studio co-founder John Carmack during his keynote speech at QuakeCon 2012.
We caught up with Tim Willits, id creative director, during the convention and spent a few minutes talking about RAGE with him — what went wrong with the game’s PC launch, and what he and the rest of id thought they got right with the game.

Rage from id Software and Bethesda Softworks was largely overlooked, yet its handcrafted FPS open world and memorable characters transcend genre convention.
YouTube’s members ‘Digital Dreams’ and ‘Jose cangrejo’ have shared some videos, showcasing Pascal Gilcher’s Reshade mod – which adds Ray Tracing/Path Tracing effects – in some really old games such as Star Wars The Force Unleashed, Crysis 2, RAGE and Resident Evil 6.
I'm still learning how to look for the differences. At first I was focusing on shadows for some reason but I don't think that changes much, is it reflections that change?
It supposed to add more realistic light Not actually more light effects and explosions
I hate to say it but I’m fine with fake lights, shadows, reflections. I just kind of like the effect, it’s also great it saves resources for other things.
I’ve been checking out some original Xbox games on x360/x1x and the engine has fake light streaming in through a stained glass window, and I love it even though I know it’s not real time lighting. Heck it even shifts as I move about.
I’ve about convinced my self rt and hdr just doesn’t work for me. Before hdr I would even complain damn why are the headlights killing me they are so bright.
I notice most frame rate, then jaggies, then resolution; with the last two interchangeable depending.
Other day watched an enthusiast rave over 4k and the poor guy was in 1080p. I played the same game the night before and thought wow this is clean, I wonder if it’s 4k, but knew differently and I thought wow even resolution is not always important. The next day he apologized and was surprised he could be fooled.
How come the lightsabers don't give off any light? Even in the EA star wars game the guy uses it to light up a dark cave. I guess if it is using frostbite it will support rtx cards.
Rage is an amazing game. One of the best of 2011
the pop in on ps3 version drives me crazy though. has made me put it down even though i had been enjoying the game otherwise
Rage was a fantastic game. I love the controls and gameplay, let's not forget the beautiful graphics. Great job carmack.
If they could fix the pop in completely it would be one helluva game. Also the ending needs a massive tweak
Besides that RAGE is a beautiful looking game, if not one of the most beautiful looking game and a good example of tech and art combined. If only the tech was glitchfree.
Also the gameplay was fun with solid ai and fun shooting aspects.
Wish all the best for DOOM4. Show us again what id is capable of
I liked Rage. I thought it succeeded in doing what it was supposed to do which was to provide a fun, interesting first person shooter.
