Rage Unplayable

I have to say, ID gave this game the most apt name ever. Whilst the gameplay is pretty good, the graphics engine is so bad, Im stunned they went through with it, when its compared to engines like the Cryengine, there is no comparison. Im lucky enough to have the game running smooth on my rig but IMO the texture pop-in and really, really bad texturing in so many places in the game, its unforgivable.

A part of me thinks ID thought they would sell Rage well as it carrys their name on the box. You know, this is ID, they made Doom and Quake! Trouble is now, the sceptics are going to be all over their next game when it surfaces. I just hope whoever was responsible for the texture pop-in in Rage got a damn good spanking and ID dont have the same issue in their next game.
 
Fact is, id haven't introduced a new successful franchise since the 1990s (in terms of developing it themselves); in fact the only games they've actually put out full stop are Doom3 and Rage. Rage is the first new franchise/IP since Romero left and doesnt seem to have captured the public's imagination.
 
It will be interesting to hear what Carmack says this year about it all, and surely during this coming Quakecon we'll get some Doom 4 exposure! :)
