GR: According to Creative Director Tim Willits, RAGE will have several locations on its map with locked doors, doors that are only accessible to players that purchased the shooter new. Unlike most new-purchase incentives, these doors do not have a purchasable access code tied to them. That means you either buy new or you go without these missions.

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.
Developers and publishers need to stop trying to kill off the used game market. For some reason, people think its ok to do this with video games but not other markets.
I hate when the content is already on the disc and you have to pay to unlock it. Then I feel like waiting for GOTY editions, which are usually much cheaper anyway, and buying it then. Obviously doesn't work with some games. Those I gotta have straight away. Here's looking at you Skyrim, UC3, Mass Effect et al.
But it does feel a bit scummy, its kinda like - "lets chop a bit off the game and if they want it they have to pay extra for it". Just make the whole game accessable and if you have extra content, make that for me to download later...
you're not necessarily paying extra though if you buy it new, it's only the used game people that're paying extra.
I think people are taking this out of proportion (in THIS case). The entire single player campaign is playable. There's extra content that is locked unless you buy it new. But you can play the WHOLE campaign. It's like DLC that comes with the game.
Now, besides this case, this type of situation is actually worse to me than locking the multiplayer, because I'm a single-player guy more. If Uncharted 3, for example, had it's whole single player experience locked out unless you bought it new, that would be disastrous.
Fortunately, it's only extra stuff that is locked out. People who really want to complain about a bit of extra gameplay outside of the main campaign should either buy it new or wait for the price to drop to buy it new. With the releases still coming out this year, how long do you think this game will be $60? A couple of months, max.
im going to write a article about this and submit it after I have completed the current one. Hopefully it gets approved.
