    It sure looks pretty but every one of the elements they were flagging up as gameplay innovations/departures there...were not.

    Not sold on the vehicle only multiplayer mode, I see this as single player game for now.

  • Eraysor #3 10 months ago

    It looks like Borderlands, only with no sense of humour and a generic art style!

    "Not sold on the vehicle only multiplayer mode, I see this as single player game for now."

    Yes, because we're really lacking in multiplayer FPS' these days.
    Anything different or unique is more of a selling point alongside the SP campaign than yet another generic grind-a-thon MP FPS.

    Anybody else bothered by the fact that all of Rage's NPCs seem to have really animated upper bodies but lower bodies that NEVER MOVE?!

    I like the bit in the video where the reavers were chasing the Claptrap but then the cowboy with the katana stepped up. His Bloody Mess perk made it fun to watch.

    I...I've seen too much post-apocalyptic space cowboy stuff recently. Sorry.

    Hah. All these hi-tech-guns-and-ten-gallon-hat games are copies of the daddy of the genre, <a href="http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/r_gunchron">Gunman Chronicles.</a href>

    I have to say, the more I see of this game, the more I want it!

    Not sure how I'm supposed to find time to play it in November though...

    I am getting some serious Fallout 4 vibes from this. Which is not a bad thing but like one person said, it's not exactly an innovative game. With the exception of cars it's anything but innovative, it just copies what others have done and turns it into a great game. Which is not a bad thing. Graphics too me loke a lot like Fallout as well. Maybe a bit better, which is even more astonishing considering this will run at 60 fps. John Carmack did some magic there. The shooting mechanics seem to be classic Doom/Quake 2/Q3A, that's a good thing. Still not convinced on the storytelling abilities of id Software, the past was not very good. Overall Rage is becoming my most anticipated FPS this year. Somehow I doubt it will sell a lot, cause it's been too long since the last id game and it's the first new IP since forever. Unless marketing really gets going now I have no high hopes, and Bethesda already failed with a new IP, Brink. Despite pretty good marketing.

    Well, Rage is the only game I preorder this year. I need that double barreled shotgun.

    Looking forward to this, from what I've seen it looks like its going to have a really strong SP experience, which is what I want from a game.

    The post-apocalypse setting has been done before in games, buy I haven't played any of them so it doesn't bother me. Even if I had played Boardlands or whatever, I'd still be interested. I mean I don't play one sci-fi shooter and then automatically dismiss all other sci-fi shooters.

    Well to be honest, they did not flag elements in the game as innovations, they just stated the different gameplay elements that should make the game fun. People get hung up on the innovation word to much and id probably would be the first to say innovation isn't their main selling point.

  • stryker1121 #15 10 months ago

    If it plays well, then innovation be damned. "Unique" doesn't necessarily mean "good." Dead Space is derivative as hell, but that doesn't preclude it from being a great game.
