Rage Finally Has A Date

id Software's next big shooter, Rage, built on its next big engine, id Tech 5, now has a ship date. Get ready to wait a little longer for Rage, for it won't be out until September 2011.

The PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 game will ship in U.S. on September 13, 2011. Europe will get it just two days later on September 15, 2011.

That's more than a year away.

frankymv5753d ago

Too long for this game.

New consoles will be right around the corner when this game hits. Not sure if I will be interested then....

Coffin875752d ago

New consoles will be right around the corner?!?!
Yeah, maybe a new rushed XBox, but for sure no new PlayStation that will be as revolutionary as the PS2 was and as the PS3 currently is.
That will take at THE VERY LEAST 2-3 more years.

rdgneoz35752d ago

@Coffin7 Yep, it'll be at least 2 more years for a new PS console. Hell, they just started getting into 3D for PS3 games coming out and they're releasing Move. They're not gonna have Move out for only a year before pushing a new console out. Hell, with the graphics they're getting and the capacity of blue ray disks, they got a while to go before the PS3 reaches its limits. For xbox, they'll probably try to get it out before Sony or Nintendo, and push it out in a year and a half at the least.

As for the game, sad that it'll be over a year till it releases seeing as they've been saying it'll run at 60 fps on all 3 systems and that it'll look beautiful on them as well.

Coffin875751d ago

thx lol. a lot of people here don't seem to get my point.
ps2's games and graphics kept evolving for 8 years (basically the same with ps1). ps2's first games looked like directx6 stuff, just look how mgs3 looked like.
the same will be with ps3. it will keep evolving graphically and gameplay-wise for the next, at least, 3 years.

everyone thinking differently must be kind of ignorant / too young to have witnessed ps2's or ps1's history.

Solidus187-SCMilk5753d ago (Edited 5753d ago )

I was thinking it would come out early next year. I wonder if we will have to wait longer to see doom 4 now.

JsonHenry5753d ago

I will buy this game when it ships for PC. But I gotta say by the time it gets here it might not look so top of the line anymore because of other games coming out between now and then.

Marquis_de_Sade5752d ago

People actually disagreed with this comment?

SeanRL5752d ago

lol, they just disagreed with a fact....

pixelsword5752d ago (Edited 5752d ago )

for the US:

Month: September

Year: '11

Day: 13th

For Germany/Europe:

Month: September

Year: '11

Day: 15th

Commission & Drug Companies Discuss Strategies to Counter Biological Threats in Europe 11/15/2001 in Europe in a meeting pre-arranged (before 9/11 happened)

Hmmm...

Just a little weird, not saying it's some conspiracy; but if you do think it's something funny about that, look up history and dates around September: you'd be just a little interested after a while.

Oh well. I'm sure its going to be amazing. Quality takes time.

TheSoviet5753d ago

more like they went form EA to Bethesda

kaos_fish II5753d ago

Yeah but Blizzard wrote and published Diablo 2 and an expansion, WarCraft 3 and expansion and World of WarCraft and all of it's expansions in that time frame.. exactly what has Id released since Doom 3?

number475753d ago (Edited 5753d ago )

Enemy Territory?

Not sure if that was iD...

I don't know, I feel like iD is going to pull a fast one. Won't even consider buying if theres no demo.

lastdual5753d ago

Enemy Territory was made by Splash Damage - same folks who are now making Brink.

raztad5753d ago (Edited 5753d ago )

Quake 4, Enemy territory: Quake Wars or something like that. Working in ET:QW Carmack started the development of MEGATEXTURES tech, which is being used in RAGE nowadays.

RAGE itself has a long time in development, was announced in 2007. Besides Rage, ID has been working in little iphone projects and Quake Live. Sounds a lot like Carmack is just having fun with the tech, and doesnt care about making money.

Anyways, that MEGATEXTURE tech is incredible. Just look how well it looks/runs on the xbox. Carmack has spent all this time optimizing it. It seems to be paying off.

Yeah yeah great great . . . How bout some DooM 4!?!?

kaos_fish II5753d ago

It's ridiculous IMO - more than year away and yet the mags and websites are hyping this NOW.. who's to say what'll come along in a year from now and push Rage to the background.

Cold 20005753d ago

Yeah and they got a year to delay it again..

I hope the devs can break away from MS and take their IP's with them in the not to distant future. This entire consolidation and mass industry firings that MS has spearheaded has been nothing but a disaster for everyone except the already rich creatively bankrupt tw@ts at Microsoft.

MS is nothing but a drain on the entire gaming industry and every facet of it.

1Victor151d ago

There is precedent already with bungie separating from Microsoft but I doubt Microsoft will let them go out with their IP’s without paying a huge price

Reaper22_151d ago

Good for them. From what I hear Microsoft supports it but unfortunately it still doesnt change much but its a step in the right direction. More devs across the entire industry should do this. But regardless, you just love to hate anything Microsoft or xbox. Who's fault is it that sony closed down studios? Who spearheaded that? What i don't understand is that if you hate Microsoft so much why the concern. If this bothers you so much you may want to find another hobby. Free up some of that mental energy for your own well being and stop worrying about shit you cant change.

@FlaggerD care to look at yourself in the mirror, obscure? It's like your 132456th account now, and all of them have you being obsessed with Sony. You just can't handle the fact they literally stomped on Xbox, LMAO! Juggernaut my ass haha. Xbots claiming Expedition 33 winning GotY is a win for Xbox because it was on Game pass is the funniest shit ever LMAO!

blacktiger151d ago

Good for them. With AI coming for their jobs and their new corporate overlords working overtime to replace them, it’s a smart move.

Notellin151d ago

It won't be long before Microsoft lays off everyone in gaming and routes that money over into AI.

Time for everyone at Xbox to update the resume and start coming up with Indie game pitches.

DarXyde151d ago

The point of unionizing is collective bargaining. Sadly, I do not believe they have any leverage, which is likely why Microsoft isn't impeding them: The investment in AI is gargantuan. We're talking about a data center in Wisconsin that's about 200 city blocks. That is massive and insane.
