RAGE Release Date Announcement Signals Shift In Game Production

id Software, the iconic team behind the Wolfenstein, Doom and Quake franchises, is currently working on their first new IP in over a decade, RAGE. The upcoming cross-genre title, largely considered a first-person shooter with driving and open world elements, was recently given a firm release date of September 13th, 2011 in North America. The announcement comes over a year prior to the planned launch, a rarity in an industry that tends to reveal launch details at the last possible second in production. id's release announcement shows a degree of consideration and planning that the larger gaming industry should work to adopt.

I did think it was rather odd that they'd announce the release date so far in advance.

N4GAddict5429d ago

Me neither. The game is more than a year away.

Hardedge5429d ago

Good read, but did they ever announce a release date for GT5 and then delay it? I thought they simply never spoke of it.

Coramoor_5429d ago

GT5 never did as far as i remember, I think there was a lot of speculation by journos and retailers, but i don't think they ever dated anything, although the prologue may have been delayed at some point

JDouglasGU5429d ago

with GT 5 it was more that they revealed the game, put out a ton of information and demos, then didn't really do anything it. sony just left everyone hanging, which is the problem.

ShawnCollier5429d ago

I wonder how many people are "raging" over the change? :p

Darkfiber5429d ago

Because of one game? I don't think so. People on the internet get so worked up over nothing.

Malebaria5429d ago

Not sure I like their approach for no IP for a decade but Rage´s looking phenomenal.
Doom 4 a safe bet for 2012 then?

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.

darthv72158d ago

Sadly.... no. There is always E3

InUrFoxHole157d ago

I was hoping for gears beta 😒

Lightning77159d 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.

Christopher159d ago (Edited 159d 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.

Lightning77159d ago

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

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.

autobotdan159d ago

Ninja Gaiden 2 Black!!! Wow!!

VersusDMC159d ago

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

jeromeface352d ago

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

1nsomniac352d ago (Edited 352d ago )

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

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

Friendlygamer352d ago

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

coolbeans351d ago

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