mkreku Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 go check out the trailer for "rage" http://www.gamespot.com/video/942657/61762...icial-trailer-1 obsidian i think you need to make Aliens using "teck 5" oh ****, is that Veronica at the end of the RE5 trailer? Woah, Rage is DEFINITELY added to my "looking forward to" list! We once had a thread on this board where we were to describe the game of your dreams and I described a game set in a post apocalyptic world where the gameplay was half RPG and half racing game (with upgradeable vehicles). This looks to be damn close! GO GO CARMACK! Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was probably Carmack's dumb (as usual) idea to put Racing into it. Otherwise, neat setting. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sogi_ya Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 it was probably a Tech demo decision that paned out. quake wars will have physicked vehicles, carmac probably was just still riding the wave from that. my inner vault dweller also tells me that carmac read how bleh-soft got fallout and said ... **** THAT! grrrrrr, why do i keep spelling "and" as "nad", or "driven" as "drivven". damn you lexdixa, damn you to hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgoth Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 (edited) With Beth and Id taking the rein on PA, one can only guess that publishers now become a lot more "approachable" to the PA setting. It's becoming the new Fantasy now! After everyone gets sick of it of course so that Orcs, Elves and Paladins become "Original" again. Hehe.

Carmack is a good programmer, but the less he is involved in game design, the higher the chance the game becomes actually good. There'll be a story in Rage, for example. That's quite an improvement.

@\NightandtheShape/@ Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Carmack is one of the best programmers in the industry, as for programmers being designers sometimes good sometimes bad, depends upon the angle the coder is coming from, if they want a design to challenge them, or because it makes total sense.

Alien_77 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I'm interested in Rage, but this is the first time I heard it will be some sort of an RGP, as far as I read it will be primarly an FPS. I hope Tim "I'm a hack" Willits don't get his hands too much on it. And it' seems Carmack may have finally done a good 3D engine since 1999. Carmack is good, but in my opinion he has to live up to the praise he still receive's, the current id Tech 4 engine got overshadowed by other 3D engines quickly.

GreasyDogMeat Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Saw the recent Rage trailer at www.gametrailers.com. I think the game looks amazing and the whole FPS, racing and adventure aspect has me very interested. The one thing I think id needs to work on most though, is AI. I'm really hoping enemies jump over things, hide etc instead of just charging up to smack you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theslug Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I had seen and heard about CoD 4 for a while now but I decided to really watched a few new trailers and it looks awesome. Can't wait to get that and play with some friends. Still waiting on a bunch of other games. I'm really worried about GTA 4 though. Game trailers gave it the most disappointing game award for e3. Very saddening. :'( There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgoth Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Which is ironic considering that the engine out performed the source engine. No way. Id Tech4 isn't as versatile as Source, not to mention that Source allows more aesthetical options to the artists, and offers better tools (FacePoser for example). Besides of Raven (Quake4), the Engine was never used from any other developer, another evidence that devs need more than a mere realtime Bumpmap generator. Rain makes everything better.

Tale Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 (edited) Performance in regards to rendering as measured in frames or as measured by percieved graphical appearance? Because with that whole plastic people look, I'd say that save for shadows it seemed a bit behind. I like Source because when there's another character in the game I don't automatically feel like I'm interacting with a plastic doll. Or are you speaking in terms of some sort of efficiency?

angshuman Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Performance/efficiency of two different game engines is extremely hard to compare unless you are running exactly the same artistic content on both platforms. I've seen one home-brew effort at attempting to run HL2 content on the Doom3 engine, but apart from that it's unlikely we are ever going to see an apples-to-apples comparison of two completely different engines. Furthermore, the fact that these two engines have completely different design goals and strengths/weaknesses (Doom = fully dynamic lighting and shadows, Source = "traditional" static global illumination, huge high-res textures) makes such comparisons meaningless. Artistic content is developed to exploit the strengths of the particular engine. Having said that, on my old 6600GT, Doom3 could barely maintain a steady 30fps while HL2 kept a consistent 50+ fps for the most part. Whether this is due to the nature of the content or a property of the engine itself is hard to determine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alien_77 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 As angshuman says... Also explain what you mean with efficeny and the Doom 3 engine? I would had agreed on .kkrieger from the same year with the term efficeny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoM_Solaufein Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I keep reading articles about Fallout 3 in magazines and seeing the screenshots, it makes me wish they would hurry up and release that.
