HoonDing Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Is this game going to be like Borderlands? I've looked up some trailers and they showed only racing... The ending of the words is ALMSIVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgoth Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 Is this game going to be like Borderlands? I've looked up some trailers and they showed only racing... Borderland has changed quite considerably, and no, Borderlands will be something like Hellgate London I think. Rage is a FPS from Id, although there'll be also large outdoors areas with some racing. Anyway, I always liked id games, including Doom 3, so I'm quite excited about Rage. New IP with good graphics is always win in my book. Rain makes everything better.

Kaftan Barlast Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Although this will probably the coolest game ID have ever made, the technical aspects are what Im most interested in. What Carmack & co have cooked up for hellishly diabolical new ways of doing things, tech5 was supposed to be a sort of 'Unreal3 killer' and they might pull it off. I still cant believe Bethesda bought them though, its like if the guys who made The Witcher would buy BioWare.

Bethesda didn't buy them, Zenimax Media did, making Bethesda & ID sister companies. ID continues to develop & publish their own games. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

Kaftan Barlast Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Zenimax is a sort of 'fake' company started in 1999 by the founder of Bethesda Softworks for tax reasons or some such. It's Bethesda in everything but name. DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.

Hurlshort Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Bethesda is a fairly large company that has grown quite a bit since the release of Morrowind. They really cashed in on the growth of the console market, Oblivion was timed very close to the release of the 360, and they have always published their own titles. Their success as allowed them to start publishing titles for other development houses. id, on the other hand, hasn't grown a lot over the years.

Morgoth Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Somehow though it's a bit scary. What if a Bethesda title flops? Does that mean they can't feed their several hundred employees anymore? Not that I'm concerned about a possible demise of Bethy, but rather id's demise would be very unfortunate. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I would imagine they would need more than a single flop to collapse, but who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfield Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 If someone as big as Bethesda tanked enough to close its doors, it would be a very bad thing. As much as people like to think that the RPG genre would be better off without the likes of Bethesda or BioWare, they are the ones that keep the genre afloat for the most part. If one of them went down, the fallout would spread to other studios as publishers would be even more hesitant than they are now to invest in an RPG.

Morgoth Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Bio is not going down before EA goes down, which is never. Beth going down is not very probable either, since they can rely both on TES and Fallout now. You have to give them credits though: Reviving a dead franchise and turning it into a multi-million success requires some balls. Rain makes everything better.

You have to give them credits though: Reviving a dead franchise and turning it into a multi-million success requires some balls. I agree that a doomsday scenario for either of those studios is pretty unlikely right now. However, I would say of the two, BioWare is in a more tenuous position than Bethesda is. If BioWare delivers one or two flops, EA could easily decide that their "RPG devision" isn't worth it, and close them. For Bethesda to go **** up, it would require them to seriously bork a couple of ES or Fallout titles (which seems unlikely--mainstream totally eats their stuff up). On topic, though: I can't get excited over Rage. This is probably because I view id software in the same light as I view Square Enix--they haven't made anything decent since the 90s. id totally lives off of an old legacy, IMO.

Jaesun Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Since post-apocalyptic settings are my favorite, this looks really cool. Now Zenimax with have 2 post-apocalyptic games. Is this a new trend?

Thanks So it's like a STALKER/Fallout 3 hybrid with vehicles. I'm still dubious about the "story", it's never really been one of Id's strong points. Also I'm not a big fan of the name, it sounds like a deliberate start-off point for Yahtzee.

HoonDing Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) id must be careful not to make a game that blows Fallout 3 away in every aspect. It might make Todd Howard cry.

Oner Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 http://www.gametrailers.com/video/quakecon...iler-rage/54147 Nice-o. wow is this a joke? i mean completely stealing from fallout3 is one thing but another post apocalyptic game is just too much. shadowfalcon1 has shown me the way! I, the ignorant fool I am, always thought there were other Fallouts before FO 3, but clearly, other post-apocalyptic games, movies or even books have never existed before Fallout 3, we just thought they did!
