Rage

Third Rage Developer Diary Brings Out the Big Guns
Written Thursday, July 14, 2011 By Richard Walker
View author's profile

Now this is what it's all about... Guns, and lots of 'em. As Rage's Creative Director Tim Willits notes in this third behind the scenes look at id's latest FPS opus, it's worth remembering that the driving, racing and other bits in the game are additives to the overall experience. And that experience involves holding a fistful of steel in your hands and shooting stuff to kingdom come.

Upon entering each environment, you're furnished with a new weapon, a new ammo type or a new engineering item to keep you on your toes "and keep the experience fresh" says Willits. Consequently, you'll have an ever-expanding arsenal of guns, ammo and gadgets at your disposal, which is what this new video looks at in more detail.

Whether it's the feedback of blowing off a head or enjoying a gruesome death animation, Rage's guns and gadgets are looking like they'll be a ton of fun, in keeping with id's unrivalled first-person shooter heritage. Check out the making of video for a look at all those lovely guns and gizmos that you'll be able to play with in Rage when it releases on October 7th in North America and October 10th in Europe.

Could be interesting, certainly slightly different from the COD clones we're used to.

This game is set to come out in the midst of some heavy hitters. I'm hoping that this will prove to be the best original IP of the fall season. Here's hoping for a full on rage and not just a hissy fit.

This looks like it could be a lot of fun... kind of like a Fallout-light.

ok i wanted this game since the moment i saw that glaive-like weapon but they should really consider changing it's name. Wingstick? really? killer boomerang, death blossom, flying blade of doom, but please not something that sounds like a new mcdonalds value meal item. :)

Bring on all the comments comparing this to borderlands and fallout.

Definitely not a day one for me, but I will wait and see what everyone has to say about it

Can't wait I copy pre-ordered for the 360. In fact I cancelled my Resistance 3 pre-order to pre-order Rage. Finally a something fresh and new. Hopefully it won't get milked to death like *cough LA Noire cough*.

Id knows their shit and they have years of exp to prove it. If it wasn't for the fact that it's coming out between gears 3 and uncharted 3 I would have bought it day one. I will still pickit up once the aforemention were off, which will take a while:-)

Over/under on how many times a Fallout/Borderlands hybrid is mentioned?

The wing stick seems overpowered to me. There's no cool down at all for it and it seems to be a one-hit kill on most enemies...so why even have guns when you can just spam that thing without needing ammo?

Looks cool anyway though. Worth a rental at least.

Also damnit this site needs to stop logging me out before I can read the article/watch the video to comment. Very annoying.

I do not see why people say this is a "Borderlands" clone. Borderlands was not even post-Apocalyptic and the only thing this game has in common is the driving. Day one buy for me. Coop,MP,Epic SP? Who could pass it up? People are so quick to jump on the "Clone/Rip off" band wagon it's sad.

@ 19

Clone no, this more like if Borderlands and Fallout had a baby.

@ 17

Lets have a non-fictional moment here. Did you see the size of that thing, you think if someone got nailed by that thing that they'd shake it off of something? Plus dude said it has a nano chip core, could be programed to go for vital organs. And there's no cool down because you have to buy the Wing Sticks, which means you can only carry a certain amount of them at a time. You can reuse the same one over and over until it breaks too. Hit up OXM's piece for more info.

Any FPS or (3PS for that matter) with rpg elements is straight on my buy list. And dont compare this to fallout or Borderlands. Both were awesome and this will be too.

Must buy and must-have title. I really excite about it mix driving and shooter which is so much fun. Love you iD you made fantastic job with Doom games and Quake games. RAGE is new IP title from iD and it look awesome. Plus Doom 4 coming soon after RAGE done, I heard earlier that iD said it :)

@21 I thought the same thing while watching the video. It looks like Fallout meets Borderlands.

@22 Drag a friend to the edge of the apocalypse with you in exclusive co-op modes or expand the battle across the globe in all-out online multiplayer mayhem.

^ from the Best Buy info page on Rage.

I for one am stoked for this game to come out and already have it pre-ordered.

I have to agree with 21 if Fallout New Vegas and Borderlands went and had a illegitimate child it would be Rage. I DO NOT MEAN THIS IN A BAD WAY. The game looks great I can not wait to play it. I just went and pre ordered this game.
