RAGE is a groundbreaking first-person shooter set in the not-too-distant future after an asteroid impacts Earth, leaving a ravaged world behind. You emerge into this vast wasteland to discover humanity working to rebuild itself against such forces as bandit gangs, mutants, and the Authority - an oppressive government regime that has a special interest in you in particular. Featuring intense first-person shooter action, breakneck vehicle combat, an expansive world to explore and jaw-dropping graphics powered by id’s revolutionary id Tech® 5 technology, RAGE promises an experience like no other.
Fearing a planet-wide extinction from a massive asteroid headed towards Earth, world leaders are faced with the inexorable task of ensuring human survival. Left with few alternatives, life-sustaining pods filled with select people are buried deep beneath the earth’s surface. You are one of the chosen members of these modern day arks and abruptly enter the RAGE universe after surfacing alone. Leaving you to your own devices to stay alive in a world filled with those who prefer you dead, RAGE combines powerful storytelling with heart-pounding action.

01:17:55 the look of pure boy-like ecstasy on Brian's face when Dan Connor says he'll let him use his sniper rifle. Perfect. ... and not 40 seconds later he destroyes the buggy. WHILE HE WAS BEING TOLD TO BE CAREFUL.. I've never been so disappointed. LOL.

Rage 1 was amazing, 2 didn't feel the same but i really want them to make a 3 TBH, I'd even take another madmax game.

@gamerdad9051 18 күн бұрын

I'd love a new Mad Max. Keep the formula and dont try anything fancy or live service-y. Just a bare bones open world 7/10 game. Just fun (By 7/10 I mean it just wants to be a game, not a hype-tastic experience)

So many good games came out in 2010, which is when I got RAGE here in England. I bought these too the same year. Fallout New Vegas Mass Effect & 2, because Mass Effect 2 came out. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 BioShock 2 Mafia II I am only mentioning the ones I have.......... Aliens vs Predator That is my lot. More came out but these I are the ones I purchased and played. I checked the list for 2010 and this is my list along with RAGE. I love them all and played them multiple times, RAGE is worth playing again 100% now you have reminded me of it. Cheers ! I can't remember the ending lol.

Just had this video recommended by KZfaq. Have followed the Fallout series all the way back to Fallout 1 (before bethesda got it) This one somehow got under my radar. After watching this will buy it. Looks like Mad Max got together with Fallout New Vegas and they had a baby and called it RAGE.

Underatted for sure IMO. It's just a fun shooter end of the day. What is REALLY cool also IMO is the Mega-Textures (or Super..) technology that was used. What it does is allow for WAY bigger texture files to be used on things. So like walls or especially outdoor rocks you aren't gonna just see the same "wrap" around all the rocks cuz the program has so much larger of a pool to choose from. It really did/does work and I'm not sure whatever happened to the tech but I wish it would return. Or maybe it has and it's just low-key now...IDK.

Brian Menard, Not sure if you have ever heard of the game "Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition". It is like GTA but also different and with a setting in Hong Kong. And this game has tons of content ( because in has ALL of it's DLC in it! ) This game is truly a HIDDEN GEM in everyway possible!!! Just a suggestion for you to play and look at.

@fleshtonegolem 4 күн бұрын

I played this on default difficulty and liked it, but honestly I beat it without dying once. It was a bit too easy once you learn the AI. Each enemy has AI that is easy to cheese once you know their moves.

@Wonzling0815 27 күн бұрын

If I remember correctly, Rage introduced the megatexture technology. Everything you see is basically one big texture instead of many textured objects put together. That's why it looks beautiful at first glance, basically every inch is hand drawn. But everything is static, in a physics and a lighting sense. For example, if you see furniture in the game, every piece will look unique but you will not be able to physically interact with any of it. That's probably why the animations of the enemies are quite reactive, so there's at least something dynamic in that world :P

Enjoyed this game when it first came out, but the game was too linear and compartmentalized. That said, I think people like me just didn't appreciate it for what it was, a good game with excellent graphics and decent physics. In the future, I recommend you move your face cam to the right of the screen so we can see the health bar and loot.

@The-Man-On-The-Mountain 3 күн бұрын

Rage was a really cool game but it wasn't so popular because there was already another one very similar but much bigger, wacky, and much less linear than Rage: Borderlands. For me, it was 2 things: Rage was super linear, and super focused on racing, which to me ended up being really boring, because it's not a racing game, and that is what I remember the most. You were not forced to race, but the game wanted you to do it a lot. And if I wanted to race, I had Forza Motorsport. Another thing is that the game seemed much longer than it really is. It's very short for what it seems and that was disappointing. So with Borderlands existing, and with all its replayability, Rage was like meh at the time. But the game is not bad at all. It's a pretty good game, with cool ideas, super fun to play, and amazing graphics and setting. If only the game was longer... But I am talking from my experience and my perspective only, that's what I remember.

In my opinion, Rage failed because that time the "Open World" hypetrain already rolling strong. Every gamemaker, every player was hyped about open world games so...when Rage came out it was basically "Too Basic Old School Game" I did enjoy Rage when it came out.
