LOL id's incompetence knows no bounds. The patch broke Steam achievements and made the game looks worst on players using custom settings...settings that they were forced to research and carefully tweak to get Rage working in the first place.
Yeah, and John Carmack's was surprised by the "ferocity" of the fans negative reception to Rage.
It's like, people doesn't like flawed and shitty games? No way!! Market research said you'll buy anything with our name on it. What gives?
Rage is an epic fail on all platforms. There are low resolution textures in this game that the world haven't seen since the late 90s.
This is Carmack's the emporer have no clothes moment. Career, over.
This game rocks. Played the damn thing for hours on end.
LOL. Look @ you guys.
There are a lot of pissed off PC gamers because they are the biggest iD fans. But the truth is, Rage sucks on all platforms and it's the PC gamers who actually have the best version of Rage. That's the irony of the situation. PC gamers expected more so there for they are the most pissed. Console gamers are used to crap textures so they simply don't know any better.
Case in point. PS3 version of Rage

LMAO!! These "glorious" 1080p screenshot illustrate perfectly the Jackal and Hyde nature of iD's Tech 5 engine, and how completely unavoidable the low res textures really are.
Epic fail, Carmack. Epic fail.
This game deserves an F for the epic fail that it is. No dynamic lighting, no physics. Forget about the Killzone 3, Crysis 2 and Gears of War 3 comparisons. The graphics and texture work in Rage is a total scam.
Here's why.
The game frequently goes from this

To this
This is a very impressive port. It doesn't have Crysis's PC textures that can bring machines back in the days to their knees, but it's good enough to run on the consoles without looking like total crap.
That alone is an achievement.
No where near the PC version, but they did a damn good job with the console port. In fact this necroing of a dead game is 10x better than what iD is doing with their turd Tech 5 megalowrestexture engine.
Creepy as hell. Seriously, WTF.
It is on my PC :) Even on the console at least you get an open world, physics, and dynamic lighting with day and night cycles. Rage feels like a trip back in time to 2001 when none of those things existed.
Crysis is a what, 4 years old game? And the textures and engine looks way better than Rage.
That 2 months wait will be well worth it. The game will be done with it's paid beta by then.
LOL @ the Ceasary adds on this site.
It reads "One click for a Roman orgy"
Marvel Online is dead.
I'm sorry to say but it looks like Rage is a bust on the PC. Blurry low res textures might be fine on the consoles, but on the PC they're unacceptable. This engine is optimized for the console and it shows in the glaring amount of features that it gives up just to run 60 fps on the PS3 and Xbox 360. The lack of real time lighting and a world completely devoid of physics being most notable.
Don't get me wrong. There are moments when the game looks good, and the PC ...
The iD 5 engine sucks. There's way too much compromise. The game is designed to look good far away and at medium distance but when you get up close there's blurry textures everywhere. This is specially noticeable when you get in tight environments in doors. Another problem is the lack of environmental physics and real time lighting. Everything is nailed down and all the lighting is static.
I can see why iD said they're no longer in the engine business, because wit...
Wow are those real screens from the console version? There's low res textures galore.
Native 60 fps, LOL. WTF is native 60 fps?
I'm glad the id is a console company now, because that means the PS3 version of Rage shouldn't have any issue...oh wait.

I guess this happens because PS3 isn't the market leader on the console. Seriously, I can't wait to hear what kind of completely bullshit excuse these idiots come up with next.
