"Recently, I acquired id Software’s 2011 shooter RAGE during an Amazon sale. Most of the critics I trust either gave it a thrashing or an okay score, but I couldn’t pass up a chance to see id Tech 5, especially for the meager asking price of $10. After five or so hours with the game, I was addicted. But why?"

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.
I too picked up Rage recently, but I'm having the opposite reaction. I don't give a damn about playing it and don't think the shooting is anything special at all. To each his own.
Ii actually got it for $7 from gamefly and i put it in if i want to see good graphics its the best graphics on 360 to me and I own skyrim and battlefield 3
Personally i think the gameplay itself, the shooting mechanics and stuff is top notch, i love it. Just it feels like its missing something that its not finished. I enjoyed it but it wasn't worth the day 1 purchase at all.
I bought it day 1 and even reviewed it on N4G. Thought I gave it a fair score. I even got the platinum. But I agree with IaMs12. It just doesn't feel like it was a finished game. It felt more like a tech demo to show you what they could do with the engine.
"But why?" - What a horrible way to begin an essay or article. Learn how to write. I answered your question right away - "I don't give a s*%# why!"
Horrible article about a horrible game.
News please!
