Rage will be a cool game to get during the steam holiday sale a year after it comes out for like $12.50. Until then it's still got a lot of work ahead of it to prove itself, at least to me personally.
Although I'm not any more excited for Rage than I was for Doom III I have to say that there is no other company, aside from maybe Naughty Dog and Crytek, that does something that brings innovation to their engines, and the gaming scene in general, with (almost) every game they release.

I was half-sold on this until I saw it on PAX East. No shit, it runs at 60 FPS on a Xbox 360 and has more detail than any other game I have ever seen. Id Tech 5 completely destroys CryEngine and Unreal Engine 3. The downside, of course, is that megatextures use a LOT of space. It'll probably be 3 DVDs on the 360 and fill up a Blu-Ray.
Gameplay wise, looks a lot cooler than I expected, like a Borderlands/Fallout mix with amazing gunplay. Not sold on the car combat though.

As well as this technology could be implemented, the entire game looks bland and generic. Having big areas does not mean your game is non-linear, and having the ability to change textures doesn't make your aesthetic any better. RAGE has disinterested me since the beginning, and I feel validated wit every piece of info that comes out with it.
I think the only thing we can hope for here, is that the hype is like "Doom 3" hype back in 2004. Other than that, it looks interesting to say the least. And I will leave it on that.
Was I the only person who thought, "Why is he running up those steps to kill those guys? That's where he STARTED the level!"
Eh? No, really, Quake 3 is the best thing you've ever made, and that will never change.
Respect anyway.

I have officially dubbed Rage "shooter heaven." That's what I see.
I'm not entirely sure about the multiplayer, but we'll see when I get my hands on it.

Blasphemy. Nothing will ever beat Doom. Actually... You cant really blaspheme as Doom seeing as it is.. blaspheme itself.
Nope, Im still not excited for this game.
They say "totally new thing" but I just only see a brown FPS.
They are thousands of those.

Can't say I'm excited. Yeah, it looks good, but the aesthetic's still the muddy brown mess that Borderlands and Bulletstorm were... I'll probably buy it anyway, considering how much I loved Doom 3 and the Wolfenstein series (got into Quake pretty late, though).
There is absolutely zero chance that they will ever put out something as awesome as Doom/Doom II. Zero chance.
That's ok though. Not many companies ever will. It's debatable whether or not anyone will.

While Doom 3 was a bit of a disappointment, id hasn't even genuinely let me down. I can't say that about many companies. This includes Valve and Blizzard.
I hope Raven uses id tech 5 to build a sequel to Hexen. Hell, anyone could make a magic/fantasy FPS with a horror setting and I'd be happy.

I kept getting confused by "new" and "different" until I realized they weren't actually talking about the gameplay. I have nothing against improving the visuals, and I think some of the "OMG ITS BROWN AND/OR GREY" complaining is stupid, but I still can't get super excited for this. I want to play it, sure, but the unique art-style of something like Borderlands does a whole lot more to grab my attention than "mega-textures".
If it ends up being well designed and polished, I'll be happy. The enemies look kind of lame, though. I hate a lot of melee opponents in FPS games, because running backwards is boring. Part of the reason I gave up on BulletStorm was the completely pattern-based approach to enemy AI. Want to impress me with a FPS? Smart enemy AIs go a lot farther than mega-textures.

id - All right, who broke the embargo!

this looks good it kinda gets me since they say its the best thing ID sofware as done and i grew up with doom i remember being 8ish years old playing doom1 and 2 scared the shit out of me but i loved it. i hope rage isnt a let down like brink was. but its looking good. i cant wait for rage.
I love me some ID. But really, that video just wreaked of PR horseshit.
There is absolutely nothing about their game or engine that is "revolutionary". It's an awesome looking engine and it looks like a very sweet game, yes. But you shoot, interact with NPCs, collect items, improve your skills and drive a vehicle. Not exactly a revolution in gaming. The only real difference is you'll be doing it with nice textures at 60fps.
If they want to revolutionize, then they need to work on movement, interaction, gameplay mechanics, characters and story. Make us CARE about what we are doing. Too many games focus on shooty and pretty, and it creates fun, but ultimately shallow, gaming experiences.

I think what we all want to see in a new ip is classic, silly, fantasy. Not hyper-realism. Remember how we all loved Kirby/Zelda/Mario/Donkey Kong/Star Fox/Metroid/Pokemon and still do today? There just aren't any new games that provide that level of fantasy anymore. They are all just too focused on MEGATEXTUREZ!
Graphics has become something we EXPECT to be fantastic. Your fancy graphics are not impressing us anymore. Sorry, id.

Why are people being such bitches about the game?
They have not even played it.
Just because it's not from fanboy favorites Valve or Crytek?

@Arianol: True, true. Embrace the golden age of video games where one generic shooter after the other gets released.
I haven't seen any new gameplay mechanics but the post apocalyptic setting with a little bit of western flair is pretty cool in my opinion. But yeah, it's graphics, again, and not really something new.
The funny thing is, the games you have listed are pretty much games for children. Well maybe not Metroid but the rest. Nowadays 'Mature' rated titles are the majority and I don't think that's really a good thing.

id reaffirms their technical superiority with every engine they release, but whether Rage will actually be fun remains to be seen.
