Rage Developer Diary Number Five Is All About The Enemy
Written Thursday, July 28, 2011 By Richard Walker
View author's profile

In Rage, it's bad enough that you've got an inhospitable post-apocalyptic wasteland to contend with, so that it's also inhabited by a variety of clans and other nasties means you'll definitely have your work cut out for you. And each clan has their very own distinctive hallmarks, so you'll know exactly who you're fighting.

For instance, you'll know if you're up against the Ghost Clan, as they'll probably drop onto your head due to their acrobatics and nimble moves. The Wasted Clan meanwhile lack combat skills, but they look stupid in style, and the Shrouded Clan attack you with remote control bomb cars, which is awfully nice of them.

There's human enemies and monsters to face in Rage, and each antagonist not only has sharp AI, but they also raise questions. Like for example, are the mutants the result of the radiation following the asteroid impact or are they failed human experiments conducted by shady militant overlords The Authority?

You'll be able to find out when Rage launches on October 7th in North America and October 10th in Europe. For now however, there's a fifth dev diary to watch below before the sixth and final instalment arrives.

Read that as "all about the Emmy". Had a wat moment where I was trying to figure out how RAGE won an Emmy.

Probably going to pick this up once it goes on sale. Too many good games this year.

This used to be a day one buy for me, but with Saints Row, Gears, Battlefield, Deus Ex and Anniversary, this is gonna have to wait ...

Screw "waiting" to pick this up. All those other games can wait. Day 1 buy.

Why is the US release date listed on most sites as October 4, but a few (such as this one) list the release date as October 7?

Have a lot of games on my list this autumn. I suppose I could technically afford them all, but I try to control my games budget pretty tightly.

I am probably going to end up grabbing Rage and Arkham City of BF3 and MW3, at least until after Mass Effect. Generic military shooters can wait, I guess. Not that Rage seems all that original, but it does seem well put together. Sometimes that is enough.

@8 But it says it's coming out on Oct. 7th for the U.S; while the release date for the U.S. is the 4th, U.K. the 7th. I started a thread on the RAGE forums here, but it still hasn't been fixed. :/

Day one buy for me. This is the game I'm looking forward to most this year though I'll probably snap up another 6 before the year is out and then I have Mass Effect 3 to look forward to. It is good to be a gamer right now.

Hopefully I'll be able to get a job at Game or Gamestation (After searching most places) before I go to 6th Form, so that I can grab the 15 or so games I want this year on a bit of a discount and my monthly allowance will also help (But thats for clothes shit).

Still torn between this one, Dead Island, and Deus Ex. Leaning toward the last at the moment, but will definitely play this one. Looks really out of this world, and more original than most people give it credit for.

I'm really hoping this and Human Revolution will breath life back into the ever stagnating FPS genre. I wrote this off in the beginning as a clone of Fallout/Borderlands, but I've got to say that it looks like it might be even better than both of them. The more you see, the more you can't resist it.

Sooooooooooo many incredible games to get in 2011, so little time to play them and do them justice...
