Who else is ready for Rage 2? Announce at E3 is looking highly likely.

This generation is when allot of the tech in Id Tech 5 would have truly showed what it was capable of.

Last generation consoles simply didn't have the DRAM or Bandwidth to make something like Megatexturing/Partially Resident Textures/Virtual Texturing truly shine... And that did impact the PC version which should have fixed up all the shortcomings of the anemic 7th gen console hardware... But the development time simply wasn't put into it.

And it shows, even today. Having the game on an SSD, you'd think would help with the megatexturing pop in issues, but alas it does not. 

Tech 6 just seems like a step above anything tech 5 was doing, with it performing that much better and generally supporting a higher refresh rate.
