Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



Admidst a flurry of announcements at today's QuakeCon, id software revealed their brand-new IP, Rage. Apparently the game is set to be a departure of sorts from their previous work, in that driving features heavily, and blowing stuff up is almost a secondary objective. With the lack of cybernetic, psuedo-religious ultra-violence, will Rage still captivate as DOOM and QUAKE have in the past? Whatever the end result, the tech -- id's brand-new id Tech 5 Engine -- behind this thing looks sexier than Jesus sodomizing a Large Hadron Collider.

Looks like id, smells like id, but I can't really taste id. Maybe their trying to break away from the doom initiation, and if they are, I wholeheartedly support them. This looks fucking awesome.

Well they could have picked a better name then "Rage". Maybe their next title will be "Depression" or "Mean".

But yeah, most of the beginning was shown as a Mac preview awhile ago if I remember correctly. Looks awesome to me though. Kinda has a cyber-western feel. Plus its pretty =]

Is Barter Town going to be featured? And will the road warrior make an appearance? these are the hard hitting questions that no one is asking.

Well that was...unexpected.

Nice visuals, hope it comes to 360 so I can actually play it.

Game didn't show much... but I do love that style of setting, so I'll at least want to know more.

Okay. It looks awesome. I want.

Now past that, did they just use the same model for that old guy Heavenly Sword uses for that king guy?

@ Nightdehumidifier: You got all that from that tiny little video? you must be pretty observant..... or pretty stupid.

To be fair, I'm a little both. People also find me quirky, deviant, sincere and downright psychotic. My personality has made more splits than Kerri Strug.

We all know that ID can do graphics but can they make a compelling story and gameplay, thats the real question.

demon_beast82: Dude... story: maybe no..
But gameplay wise id Software are the king, they make the most crisp, clean and responsive feeling FPS in the industry. They literally NEVER fail to deliver gameplay.

Visuals are as good as to be expected, and I was one of the few people who enjoyed doom 3 (stoned, in the dark, with ambient electronica). I'm not in the least bit excited though, until I see some fun looking gameplay elements. Still, can't knock Carmack, he's a total legend.

So long as it comes to 360. With the ludicrous push to make PC games only run acceptably on PC purchased in the fucking future I doubt my current setup will be able to take it.

Woah.

A brown, sci-fi FPS, this time with driving.

Color me bored.

I think it's a little early to pass judgement, I am interested in the direction id is taking it though. The whole Doom thing was getting a little played out.
