Want to try again and NOT link to a thread that specifically seeks to find the worst/lowest quality textures in a game?
I would just like to state publicly that I will not be pressing charges. I will also be leaving town due to personal reasons.I swear I didn't see lightsaber's video. I pledge innocence, you honor

I really do like the game, had no pop-up issues, looks good and runs very smoothly.
So I'll just leave this...

It seems alot of people had really high expectations for this game which I dont' really understand. Not since Quake 3 have they produced anything in-house generally considered "great". Doom 3 was meh and Quake IV was largely ignored. If you followed RAGE over the years or read hands-on previews, it appeared to be not much more than a simple, solid, shooter. Despite the ridiculous PC launch problems, that seems to be exactly what it is. I haven't seen enough to warrant a $60 purchase but with a few PC patches (including the mod tools) and a good sale, I'll be all over this.
The main thing I don't really understand is why they didn't incorporate even a simple multiplayer mode with first person guns and instead, only vehicular combat and coop. Hopefully this will be quickly remedied with the mod tools tho. Can anybody who played the current multiplayer comment on if it's any good?

Although I think I'll also wait until it pops up in sale, can't afford it at the moment

2 player max in co-op, played just one game with one of my boys, who started the Friends Match on his crappy AMD X2 3.00Mhz machine.
It worked very well.
2 player is ok but not much fun.
4 player in Doom Cars.
Untried.
I paid 37

Given the developer's attitude towards the PC market, I'd be rather surprised if they release mod tools. The game basically shipped without a graphics menu ...

I remember recently seeing a developer say the same thing about an editor for their game. It never materialized. Both the game and the studio are now dead.
* Not suggesting a correlation between the lack of editor and the game/studio death, just saying hold your breath only once the thing starts to download.
Things have changed I imagine since the union but 'id' do put out SDKs for their games.
Here is a review of the game which I believe has got it right.
I'm still being surprised by the mutant attacks, another little thing that I liked is that when you shoot (some) steam or water pipes,,, steam or water spurts out, its the little things that count...Rage Review - Billy Shibley - YouTube

I'm currently playing this. The graphics are a two-edged sword. On one side they're great if you're looking at things from a distance. If you get up real close however you notice that the textures are extremely washed-out and well, simply put, real ugly.
Gameplay is similar. On one hand it isn't too bad, on the other hand it's way too easy somehow to really offer a challenge and missions somehow feel like they're always the same. The driving is fun and a nice change now and then. It's not that it's bad, it's just not very good either. They have a very realistically looking post-apocalyptic world, yet there's pretty much no real story at all so they completely fail to build up any more atmosphere than what exists due to the graphical representation of the wasteland.
All the games I recently played or currently play excell in something. Be it The Darkness with it's superb storytelling and atmosphere, Red Dead Redemption with it's epic scale or Deus Ex: Human Revolution with it's perfect FPS/RPG mix. RAGE excells in nothing really, and therefore probably won't be remembered very much either.

Thread resurrection!
Got this in the sale on the cheap - I can't really get over how bad the textures are...seems to run OK, but I should ****ing hope so with textures like this.
