!!**Official RAGE Thread**!!

Just downloaded and installed this for the first time.

Holy moly the graphics are amazing! Absolutely no problems whatsoever, no texture pop-in or slowdown... as an AMD user this is a big relief :)
They really knocked it out of the park with how gorgeous this game looks.

Keep at a distance mate;) :p

I'm 9 and a half hours in now. Just doing the second Subway town quest. How long would you say i have left? I really can't be bothered to do most of the side missions so will probably give them a miss. It is not like they help you level up or anything.

It's funny, this is kind of what I was thinking. It's almost lacking in the game that there is no level system that encourages you to actually do the side missions! However, I kinda feel that i'm missing some of the game by NOT doing so them I am anyway. ;) On abuot 4 hours myself. Can only play on my 2nd computer at my old dears house as my main computer has a 5850 and I can't get it to work atm. This leads me on to my question actually.

Has anyone found a fix for AMD yet? Getting black artifcats everywhere even running 11.9. I tried 11.10 preview but that was actually worse.

I'm disappointed about not being able to play it becuase of this (on main comp anyway), but the thing saving it is that I've enjoyed the game and the unusual multiplayer side of things (compared to what I'm used to anyway) when playing on a GTX280!
 
Could anyone tell me why the 'Rageconfig.cfg' and the '+set com_allowconsole 1' options refuse to work for me?

I tried the rageconfig thing and all it seems to do is reset my video settings to the defaults, and the +set com_allowconsole option doesn't give me access to the console :confused:

I have the Steam version.

Cheers
 
Finished this tonight after probably 14 hours or so and I did all the car quests, the job boards and some random bits here and there.

Have to say I did enjoy the game but its not going to win any awards. It lacks any real depth but then again its also basically an old school style shooter with some extras.

The ending was meh though seriously it seemed to be over and I was left feeling a little underwhelmed by it!

Theres word going around that since the patch the config files no longer work, not sure how much truth to that there is though.
 
Just completed the game, a little disapointed now as I was enoying it. The cars were fun, and the shooting sequences were brilliant. For the most part the graphics were good, when I'm actually playing the low rez textures aren't as noticable.

Just wish that when you completed the game they at least allowed you back to one of the central hubs so you could explore around a little more and perhaps go back do some of the quests you missed. Or find those you missed.

AStaley.
 
Really enjoyed the shooting compared to anything else recently, feels very different and the shotgun is so bloody awesome.

The ending is hilariously ****.
 
Just played my first 55mins fo this game today.

Its decent. I think having an ssd helps withthe texture issues the game suffers from.

As for the art design of the game I think its mean to look like a comic.

Decent so far, if a little bit simple.

To open the console you need to use the ' button (@ key) if you have a UK keyboard layout, ` doesn't work in RAGE.
 
The more I play this, the more I like it. The gun play is pretty damn satisfying and the way enemies react when you shoot them, makes it all the more fun, especially when using the shotgun. :D

The graphics have their flaws but at the same time, there are things in this game that I honestly have not seen in any other game. If you go far enough back and get a good well encompassing landscape view, the amount of unique texture and geometrical detail on screen is immense. The screen is packed out with stuff, view distance seems to be endless and there seems to be little LOD scaling at long distance - yet I'm still getting 60fps. In fact, apart from the intial stutter I get when I first start a game, I've yet to find any scene where I'm not getting 60fps. Most game engines would be choking with this much detail on screen.

Really looking forward to Doom 4 now!

It's true. Apart from appallingly low res textures in some places, the engine is really impressive. I'm sure there's plenty of potential to scale the game up to take advantage of the increased rendering power of the PC, and I can only hope some time is invested in this for Doom 4.

Well there's plenty of headroom in my PC fro it too take advantage of. I don't think CPU usage went over 30% and GPU usage over 40% all at a constant 60FPS at 1920x1200 4xAA.

Compare that to how poor Borderlands can run in certain areas, while using a lot more of the hardware availbale than Rage, and not look as detailed.
 
The first time I entered Wellspring I was floored by how everything looks. The game consistently looks great and I swear I haven't seen any single texture twice. The artists were phenomenal on this game.
 
It is impressive how easily the game seems to stay nailed to 60fps no matter whats going on.

Ofc I can't try with very many settings because the graphics take a ride to hell in a handcart on anything other than what it likes on my system.

But still, I'm hearing 60 is where its at for many people.
 
Anyone tried out the MP yet? Jumped into a random Road Rage... finished with more points than the other 3 combined on my first attempt. Then tried out the Legends but it was really jerky which made it almost impossible. Mutants would slow down to a crawl then warp forwards which made actually hitting them entirely luck based rather than skill.
