it's what happens when Carmack wants to keep his team small and still produce AAA games. I mean the game's development team has been around 30-40 people for most of the development and untill recently working on unfinished tools, the fact that they managed a game that looks as good as it does at 60fps and semi open world with such a small team is frankly mind blowing for a multiplatform game. For comparison games like uncharted 2 had teams of 200 on one platform!!! Not to mention the games you are comparing it to are linear games...

Are they really that small? I think I read somewhere that he likes to keep the teams at around 70-80 ppl nowadays.

well as of 2008 the RAGE team was 33 http://archive.videogamesdaily.com/features/todd-hollenshead-id-software-interview-p2.asp that probably isn't counting the ~20 engine coders tho. id in it's entirety is about 170 people including both the RAGE and Doom 4 teams as well as the mobile team and the engine team and non development staff. They are really small for a AAA developer let alone one making 3 games at a time on multiple platforms. Oh and they almost doubled the rage team in 2007...

Cool. They'll make a lot of money on Rage then, since it will sell at least 4 million on consoles alone.

That's not the only thing that is disappointing. Look at the enemy movement animations. I seen some of them sliding. I don't like the cheesy walk style of the character either.


And the AI also looks stupid. Enemies just walking into shotguns. Damn everything seems dissapointing after Killzone.

what do you expect them to do with melee weapons?

See enemies in Killzone. Thye flank hide and pounce on you. And you can still melee them.

It's about context too, though.  The enemies in Killzone are soldiers.  In this clip they're mutant survivors of a holocust, I therefore think in context I wouldn't expect advanced AI for flanking, etc.  I'd pretty much expect them to come for your throat.

Now, if all enemies in Rage do that it'll be dissapointing, but if the AI varies according to foes then it'll be fine.  I'd like to see what the AI for non-mutant foes is like before deciding it's overall bad.


Agreed :)

trailer is good, remember that Brink is running on id tech 4  and it looks pretty decent

(why it has been so delayed, they switched engines 3/4 the way through development)


A very highly modified version of id 4 the renderer is basically all new and a lot of the back end has been reworked to make it multi-threaded.

And RAGE was always meant to be id 5, it just took Carmack (and his small team) a long time to make it...

Good stuff!

That is my point, RAGE looks brilliant and will play as well.

People, no need to get your buts puckered, yet.



 

60 FPS >>>>>> shitty bloom, shitty water, and shitty post processing that supposedly makes a game "look" great.  If gamers were given a choice most of them would turn that crap off for multiplayer FPS, maybe even single player.

Even COD gamers recognize this, gameplay >>>>> graphics.

Wow, you guys are harsh

They just trying to lure him in!

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

yeah I was a bit disappointed as well.

I hope they pull of a Crysis 2 and improve the graphics along the way.


actually crysis 1 is better graphically then crysis 2 in some aspects.



Being in 3rd place never felt so good

IMO a difference of taste. I think this game looks insane!

random quote ftw.

I was talking about how Crysis 2 looked not nearly as good when the first footage arrived (or the beta) as it does in the final version.
