Rage

We grabbed the controller, we looked over our shoulders to the long line behind us and we pressed the start button. One of our most anticipated games (I say that a lot, don't I) is finally going to be played by my hands. As soon as the game loads in (extremely quick), I look around. The environment is gushing with detail. It seems as if every piece of gravel, every blade of desert grass, every rock formation was something unique. And it was! An iD guy was there to answer our questions on the demo and he confirmed that you will never see the same thing twice (except perhaps a sand particle or two). This blew our minds, can a game to this extent actually be real?



Oh it was, and to your surprise, not on a PC. No, not even on the PS3 . It was being shown off on the Xbox 360. 60 FPS on what had to be the best looking multiplatform game I've ever seen. Did not experience any hiccups, any frame tearing or any slowdowns. Truly a technical marvel.
Enough of the technical details let us continue the hands on. So we jump into a nearby dune buggy and immediately take off. Three enemy bandits find their way to me but the auto-aim for the machine gun on my car quickly took care of them. However, one found it’s way directly behind me and skidded me off the road. I turned over and was shot in the air. Let’s just say that iD were kind enough to let me restart the demo.


This time, everything went smoothly. Finished the combat racing segment pretty nicely and landed myself into a small town. I was told that many like these would exist throughout the game and much bigger ones would be part of the story. I explored the town, bought a new weapon (modified shotgun) and continued to the next part of the segment. The sewers reminded me of Fallout 3 but without the fail. Bandits intelligently jumped to the ceiling and then back to the ground to sever my body. I made quick work of them though with a rocket launcher and that previously bought shotgun. Loved the ability to aim down the sights. Once the sewer part was over, I was told to get up to let the next euphuistic gamer a chance to enjoy this technical masterpiece.

Looks better to me.

yeah definetly looks better but this is more of a GTA style while borderlands was more RPG style with specializations and all that

Borderlands is Cell shaded bro, this is sheer beauty. It's what graphic art is all about. They didn't use typical rendering, they did every detail individually, so no two items are the same. These are the guys behind Doom, so you know they have done things right. Those screenies are from the in game 360 graphics man.

oh yeah def better than borderlands but it reminds me of it


ill def be getting this game already putting money aside for it

Yep, can't wait to get it. Looks fucking awesome.

is there a multiplayer cause that would just seal the deal

Yes it's multiplayer. The id guys are amazing and have been working on this game for like 5 years. It's looking nice. Pretty much people are blown away when they see the game. Most thought it was playing on a super high end P.C. and the guy was like nope, Xbox 360. You just got to be smarter then what your working with. Game will probably have two disks on 360 though, but considering the install times on PS3, it's pretty much the same. Plus the 360 was lead platform for the game, meaning it was developed on the 360 dev kits, then ported.

Even if it was like borderlands,borderlands rocked and this would be a graphical imrovement.

Well I know this game offers larger number multiplayer.

Yeah dude, that schust looks like its atleast running on a 4 or 5 grand gaming PC.
