The new Quakecon trailer for Id Software's new IP Rage looks absolutely amazing! I can't wait to get this game. The vehicle parts remind me of the old PC racing game Powerslide, but of course with more guns, and the FPS parts look as solid, and fun as anything Id has ever done.
I think with this new game and the Zenimax buyout, Id is going to come back in a big way, I love their original stuff, and although they had a few stumbling blocks with their formula getting a bit stale and their IP getting mis-handled be other developers (Raven, I'm looking at you).
@elsa yeah, it's definitely a lot prettier/more epic than borderlands, I think borderlands will still be a lot of fun and the cell shaded style's cool too.. though the more I've seen of it, the less I like some of the character models etc and the text all over the screen.
@cartman.. I think I saw at the end of the vid it said Commodore 64 as well, so you might be in luck.
Damn, this has a huge Half Life 2-meets-Fallout feel to it, which is incredible!
As for the Borderlands comparison, the landscape seems very similar, but I'm not sure how RPG-centric Rage is going to be. From what I've heard, Borderlands is taking many queues from Diablo II.
I hope the experiences are as separate as their inspirations, because both are looking like must-owns.
@RONBURGANDY: No, no you're not. I'm not impressed with this shit either. Fuck you, id, you're dead to me. You haven't come up with a good storyline for a game in like... EVER.
my god I cannot wait for this game.. id Software is back indeed! <3 :D

Maybe if you find the other half.
As for the trailer, I'm digging it and I really, really can't wait to play it myself. Borderlands is just filler till then.
