This year at Quakecon, DPrime writer Derek Sommer spent a cozy two-and-a-half hours on the Xbox 360 with RAGE, id’s longtime up-and-coming FPS, to give you the low-down on what to expect from the title after its seven years of development at id.
"Well, John Carmack is no longer interested in game development and he is not interfering with any of ID Software's game content. He is mostly behind the technological side of things and developing game engines. Rage, ID's upcoming title, will use the next generation IDTech 5, which is also one of Carmack's creations."
"Critical Gamer writes: Of all the Dev Sessions going on over the weekend, the only one that got me interested was this one. Quake was the first LAN multiplayer game I ever played, staying late at the office just so I could pepper spray Dave from IT with a nail gun repeatedly (for ‘pepper spray Dave’, read ‘Dave annihilated everyone’. Gleefully). Doom was the first FPS I played. So when I found out id, makers of both FPS icons above were showing off Rage, their shiny new FPS, I was more than w..."
"Critical Gamer writes: What sort of man should I expect Tim Willits, the Creative Director for Rage, to be? Perhaps a slobbish Comic Book Guy style stereotype, given his hardcore PC gaming background. Then again, he worked on the Doom and Quake games; so perhaps you would expect an aloof business type, corrupted by the astounding success of id.
When I meet him, Tim Willits is neither of these things. He’s a casually dressed, casually spoken guy who shows deserved pride in id’s heritage, an..."
Matty and Creamy from Defcon: Awesome give you the details of their behind the scenes look at Rage and Fallout: New Vegas from E3 this year. And, as always, they manage to throw in a couple of dick and fart jokes along the way.
"After the impressive in-game videos revealed during the E3 (click here if you missed that) I wanted to know more about Rage’s gameplay. Rage is developed by id Software, those who created Wolfenstein 3D and Doom and which hasn’t released a new franchise since 10 years."
Featuring a clean art style, excellent shooting, and an expansive world, Rage may have just enough variety and design polish to separate it from the growing crowd of post-apocalyptic FPSes.
"Id Software’s RAGE is poised to be released sometime next year. There’s a lot of hype surrounding the game, as gamers always have high expectations for John Carmack, his latest game engines their impressive 3D tech. The man who brought us Wolfenstein 3D and Doom provides major releases but a few times a decade these days, so there are plenty of reasons to be excited about his latest project. As confident as people are beginning to feel about RAGE, however, I can’t shake the feeling that the g..."
"Rage. What a name for a First-Person Shooter video game! Such an emotion, a feeling that beats your stomac. Rage has been the new id Software’s intellectual property since a dozen of years. It’s running with the id Tech 5 engine which is a new version of the mythic FPS engine-creator. It’s a new hope for FPS lovers."
