Battlefield 3/Modern Warfare 3 Underestimate Intensity of RAGE (Interview)

"As attendees of E3 2011, Jessica Nigri and Nick saw a collection of impressive titles set to grace our gaming platforms at some point in the future. With shooters being unarguably the most popular genre this console generation, the competition was and still remains fierce. With Activision beginning Microsoft's Media Briefing with raw gameplay footage of Modern Warfare 3, to Electronic Arts blowing attendees away with Battlefield 3, the companies came out full force this year to prove why their title deserves all of the attention later this year or even next year."

I was not even anticipating RAGE until I had hands on behind closed doors at E3 2011. Its looking to be SICK!

NukaCola4718d ago

Rage does look good, but what does BF3 or MW3 have to do with Rage? Rage's only MP is car battles and plus Rage is in the vein of Borderlands, not a linear shooter.

Organization XII4718d ago

I think we'll be seeing the PlayStation 3's Cell put to many different kinds of jaw-dropping use in the next few years, as developers try different ways of using it.

meetajhu4717d ago (Edited 4717d ago )

Funny part Cod's on console has outdated graphics 60fps@600p and Rage is next gen graphics,sandbox and 60fps@720p. Powered by idsoftware and John Carmack

tmanmushroom4718d ago

I just wish it wasn't delayed. But that only means it's going to be more polished ;]!

killajd4717d ago

rage is gonna be huge and so is bf3... IV gotten every call of duty to date but mw3 might have to take a back seat for a bit, why u say... same ol same ol!

SixShotCop4717d ago

MW3 looks to be the best COD yet. However i might be wrong. Either way i'm picking it up day one with BF3. Fighting in the streets of NYC will be epic!

Darkspade4717d ago

RAGE isn't overlooked, it's just New, Also it comes out in Oct. So they'll have a Month jump on MW3 and BF3

jdfoster004717d ago

Listen Rage can NOT be compared to these two. Rage does not have multiplayer. It does but it's vehicle only combat (racing etc) unlike bf3 and mwf

ShoryukenII4717d ago

That's why I might get this alongside Battlefield 3. They're both different so I can justify it. :)

hiredhelp4717d ago

For me it will be battlefield 3, and id tech,s new Rage.
Why cos unlike call of duty's. "Same old" thoes 2 games have got Not just fantastic game but great new engines that will hopfully push into other future games.
Big money gets put into new engines that takes ages to develope. Yet ppl give hundreds thousands pounds into activisions cod games and dlc support. What do the gamers cod fans get back,
Not new engine just price hike. And personal grudge match with dice.

I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.

But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.

Hofstaderman4d ago

EA can thoughtfully eff themselves.

Makersbreath24d ago

EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.

Chocoburger4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.

Report: Sexual Misconduct Investigation Conducted at EA, Suspects Named and What They Did Revealed

EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.

isarai10d ago

Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.

Cacabunga10d ago

I wonder if it will be censored with some in game ads.

MrBaskerville7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

Microsoft did, Phil Spencer played a minor part. He instigated the buyout that led to Kotick escaping all his controversies while getting a golden handshake.

Someone on Twitter calculated that the people hired in Tango and Arkane Austin could get a decent salary for roughly 17 years for the money Kotick was paid.

InUrFoxHole7d ago

Yeah some thing tells me Kotics $ was already guaranteed before MS made the deal. As for the studios... Let's be honest here... none of those studios made system sellers.

XiNatsuDragnel10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.

MrBaskerville7d ago

Then they shutdown Codemasters and studio behind Jedi Survivor.

Atleast they could hardly do much damage that EA hadn't allready done. EA has shut down most of their studios by now.

ravens5210d ago

What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.

Extermin8or3_10d ago

I mean part of the issue is that things transpired outside of work....

MrBaskerville7d ago

That's the thing he mentioned about not being a creep at all.

KwietStorm_BLM10d ago

You think deviants care where they are? Work sometimes makes it an even better situation for them because they can abuse their power.

mudakoshaka9d ago

Nerds think they are Gods when they are making video games.

NotoriousWhiz10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."

Yep, EA is disgusting.

Extermin8or3_10d ago

I mean the fact stuff happened outside of work puts EA in quite a difficult position legally. These women don't seem to have reported the matter to the police which kinda ties EA's hands on what they can do. If they don't file reports of the crimes then yeah from EA's perspective it is stuff that happened outside of work. The only exception is the guy that apparently referenced things in the slack channel for work, spending on what he said proving it may be very hard and he may well be able to get away with plausible deniability. I don't like EA and I think these people need to be dismissed but without any legal action being taken, EA can't really do much without risk of being sued themselves for unfair dismissal etc.
