Let my proclamation go out across the land -- RAGE looks utterly, utterly, utterly, utterly, bloody, utterly, fantastic. I do not say that lightly, good friends!
This new gameplay trailer invites us to Dead City, where the player is embarking upon an upgrade mission. It shows off a lot of different weaponry, a few twisted monsters, and some of the most expressive animation I've seen in a game. It's good, in other words.
RAGE has been a long time coming, and my anticipation is at fever pitch. I have a good feeling about this one.

Holy hell, dat visual style.
Its like everything Fallout 3 wanted to be, but never could thanks to Gamebryo.
And i frickin love Fallout 3, so thats saying something.
I thought all of the videos of this so far were really bland and subpar gameplay wise. Seeing the combat in this has peaked my interests. I'm just hoping thats not the entire arsenal.
HA! The graphics are no where NEAR KZ3, but its understandable since its held back by the inferior 360 which can't produce visuals EVEN CLOSE to he power of the CELL!
HA! m$ sucks at making consoles, putting out such an embarrassment of a system with graphics that barley improved of the xbox.
@Mildpooptastic: I shouldn't be feeding an obvious troll, but the reason the graphics aren't as good as KZ3 is because this is running at 60fps. You should compare it to other 60fps games like COD.
Fallout 3 came to my mind as well, which is fine because I loved the game. I'm glad school ends in another month as I'm going to be having a hell of a backlog with all the games coming out.
Doesnt really look that good in my opinion. Its like the doom engine with more lighting. Woo woo.
I think ID lost out to Epic as far as graphical "holy shit" factor a long time ago. Who makes games with IDs engines? Who makes games with the unreal engine? exactly. This whole mad max beyond thunderdome drivng dune buggies and figting cannibal zombies shit seems a bit pedestrian to me. Not really blowing my skirt up here.
What ID needs to do is stop fucking around and just give people a new DOOM game. If i wanted to play fallout id play fallout, not this junk.
HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIT!! At first I was like "That old guy doesn't look that good, I mean look at the bending of his headgear and shit" then... just... wow. That game just went from on my radar to day one buy.
@B4DKARM4: Nobody uses id's engines anymore because id stopped selling them since idTech 3. Now they only license them to companies that work on their IPs like Wolfenstein or Quake.
lol bloody screen(so real)? really bethesda? what a joke. definitely not buying this. Can't believe you would try to combine rpg and COD style FPS and think you can capture both markets. Maybe Brink, which I will be buying but not a full on rpg
Fish Taco, you're a moron.
First of all, RAGE is not a full-on RPG.
Second, so FUCKING WHAT if it has both RPG elements and CoD-style combat (and keep in mind that the combat has a way-bigger focus on gadgets, tools and vehicular combat than CoD)? It doesn't mean it will automatically suck.
This game looks fuck ugly. This is why I've been looking at Japanese games much more favorably lately. Western devs need to learn some different god damn colors.

Looks great, I'm a sucker for almost any post-apoc game - but this looks to be taking it up a notch.
