The post-apocalyptic town of Wellspring gets its name from the intricate underground systems pumping water up to the surface, so when a group of bandits threatens to poison it, heads are going to roll, and possibly explode.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been truly excited about a first-person shooter. Mildly interested or somewhat amused, sure, but there’s something about id’s Rage that has me eagerly anticipating the game’s September 13 release date. I’m not sure if it’s the scenery, the setting itself, or the many different ways to take out your enemies as demonstrated in this video. The game just speaks to me.
I mean, did you catch the part where the guy throws a knife, the player dodges, and then decapitates the enemy with his own knife? That’s what I want to do. It’s those sorts of gaming moments I live for.
Anyone else feeling excited?

Saturday, June 4, 2011 at 9:36 AMAs cool as that would be, t’s not the bandit’s own blade – it’s one of the 3 bladed shuriken things that the player has been using since the start of the video…
Love the Pinky demon Pinkies cakes though, lol…

Saturday, June 4, 2011 at 11:55 AMI haven’t initially kept up to date on Rage myself… but after seeing what looked like a mashup of bits I liked from Halflife, Bioshock, Prey and Dark Sector I am now interested :)
Also Quayola Quayons and Pinkies :p

HOWEVER, whilst I am excited for this release, I think that the gameplay looks pretty standard. Nothing ‘exciting’ about the mechanics that I’ve seen.
I would go as far to say that the graphics have given us rose-tinted glasses and we miss the fact that the gameplay is pretty generic and uninspired.
Still a buy for me though, I just think we need to be more reasonable about this.

Saturday, June 4, 2011 at 2:00 PMI think I’ll turn up the gamma if it is that dark in the game. Otherwise it looks awesome and most likely a second day purchase.
