PSInsider: Behind Closed Doors: id's RAGE

PSInsider writes: Today's behind-closed-doors showing of the 30-minute E3 2010 RAGE demo set my little heart aflutter with memories of ancient mega-texture and DVD storage-limit debates. Whose predictions would play out? Would the 360 (and presumably PS3) buckle under the weight of gigabyte-sized textures? Would loading times force us to go make a sandwich? Let's find out.

CreativeWriter5430d ago

...here is the claim that KZ3, Uncharted 2, and Red Dead Redemption have escaped the Uncanny Valley for facial animation and lip sync. RAGE's in-game NPC interaction is pretty bad by comparison, and the animation woes stand-out precisely because the texture work is so beautiful.

Coded-Dude5430d ago

i thought the exact same thing. however the detail they used when creating the worlds and towns was very impressive

raztad5430d ago (Edited 5430d ago )

Rage is very flat, I've told that already. There is very few things going on at once, kinda remind me Bishock (indoors) and outdoors (when racing) it's not even close to MS mayhem. However I do agree the TEXTURE WORK is SUBLIME. Just beautiful, at least what I've watched in the not so good videos. That megatexture tech is mindblowing. Carmack is genius.

Shaman5430d ago

Says you and some other Sony fanboys,but journalists who are there are praising it more than KZ3 and Crysis 2 which means it does indeed look amazing.Anyway...you can count on most visual awards to go to RAGE and not a single 360 game compares to it...

Fireseed5430d ago

Was that through you're first or second playthrough of the game... or are you just speaking out of your ass.

seij5555430d ago

No one is being a fanboy here but you, Shaman. It is a valid argument that although the texture work is amazing, the environments are very static and the animations need some work.

Coded-Dude5430d ago

i'd say that the animations will remain lackluster due to space limitations. the game is gorgeous, and the world looks interesting. i am personally excited about this game.

CreativeWriter5430d ago

What in the world are you playing at 120 FPS? Counterstrike? Quake?

What Rage is getting praises for its animation and dynamic AI.

And fuck the graphics it's freaking running 60 fps the people slightly interested in Real time rendering know what im speaking about.
16.5ms vs 33ms is all im going to say N4G is not worth the problems and time to go real nerdy.

KILLERAPP5430d ago

Is running like that now and they have more development time because it comes out next year so expect it to be even better looking by then…

evrfighter5430d ago

more fps and not 3d is the real road to the gaming future.

60fps has come to look a little choppy to me as I've grown accustomed to 120fps.

30fps IS unplayable in fps gaming to me. It sounds far fetched but it really kills the gaming experience.

KILLERAPP5430d ago

I hope they sell this engine for use in other games because am tired of the unreal engine…

bviperz5430d ago

Is why it can run so well while still staying pretty. Doesn't take away from it's beauty and technical genius. Can't wait to see what they bring to the table with DOOM!

TheViper5423d ago

^Nice name.

The Uncanny Valley shows itself as some features look amazing which allows the unnatural features and flaws to become more pronounced.

Needs a better balance.

[4K] Developer_Direct 2025

Welcome to Developer_Direct 2025, a behind the scenes look at new gameplay, features, and the latest info for some of the biggest games coming to Xbox in 2025. You’ll hear straight from the game creators at id Software, Compulsion Games, Sandfall Interactive, and a surprise studio for a game that we’re excited to unveil.

darthv7296d ago

Looking forward to the announcfement of Halo MCC coming to other platforms. I'd love to see an influx of new players for some blood gulch matches.

darthv7296d ago

Sadly.... no. There is always E3

InUrFoxHole94d ago

I was hoping for gears beta 😒

Lightning7796d ago

Speculated games that could be that 1 more thing.

Resident Evil 9 (maybe imo)
Persona 6 (not likely imo)
FF Remakes (not likely imo)
New Lost Odyssey (definitely not, its not a long running franchise)
Ninja Gaiden 4 (maybe and hopefully)

I really hope it's Ninja Gaiden 4 but its probably Resident Evil 9.

Christopher96d ago (Edited 96d ago )

I hope they don't waste the direct advertising a third-party game. We get enough of that with Sony.

Edit: Ugh. Disappointed. Not that it's NG4, but that they used this time to advertise a game that doesn't need it over another 1st Party title.

Lightning7796d ago

Ninja Gaiden 4 is freakin back! I played all of them so I'm excited af for it.

96d ago
Lightning7796d ago

Not saying this will happen at this show but apparently a new a Halo could get announced. Yep a brand new Halo. Could be a spin off or something but. A new a Halo announcement would be pretty wild.

VersusDMC96d ago

And i thought it was xbox exclusive since i didn't see ps5 during the show but it on psn right now to purchase.

It's more than time. I could use a good, new horror shooter.

jeromeface289d ago

Quake isn't new... far from it.

1nsomniac289d ago (Edited 289d ago )

I’d love another Quake, maybe even a more horror slanted Doom.

I’d be very happy with a new IP though.

Friendlygamer289d ago

I would like a wolfstein reboot by Id, machinegames ones are good but too enfatuated with cinematics

coolbeans288d ago

id would deserve major props if they rolled the dice on *either* of those choices.

Im glad he leaving. Bethesda has been terrible under his leadership. Redfall, Starfield, Fallout76 and the list goes on an on. His leadership style is outdated. Hopefully, MS bring someone in that knows what they are doing.

RhinoGamer88561d ago

I will give you Fallout 76, but Redfall and Starfield's blame needs to fall somewhat on the terrible Xbox publishing team. With all their resources and supposed smarts...they fungled it.

VenomUK561d ago

@Mika He’s the communications guy - you can’t blame him for the quality of the product.

jznrpg561d ago

Maybe they can go to their earlier purchases for replacements . Like Rare devs , Gear devs or 343, one of the very few studios they built up and man they are great.

Crows90561d ago

That could work ...if MS knew what they were doing themselves ...

But let's be real. Xbox was in charge of redfall and Starfield. They just don't know what a good game looks like.

RhinoGamer88561d ago

I interviewed at Bethesda once, and while there were some very smart mid level team members, the upper ranks (EP/VP/Studio Head) were a total boys' club. The Madmen series ego in that lunch was stiffling.

generic-user-name561d ago

Pete Hines was against locking out the majority of their console playerbase (ps gamers). Probably disgusted at the hypocrisy of white knight Phil assuring PS gamers that they can still play COD. Acquisition goes through, Hines goes out.

Goodbye Pete.

gold_drake561d ago

i wonder if he was asked to leave.

im pretty sure not everyone was on board with the acquisition.

Profchaos560d ago

Pretty much everyone outside of Todd has made snide comments against the acquisition but money talks
