Rage on.

what's so funny? shit's broken here

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Disable noscript for the page.

 

[shihonage]

I don't get it either. Not in FF, not in IE. Apparently I can't find a browser shitty enough to load the page in a "funny" manner.

 

[Regdar]

I don't get it. Is it the blurry textures?

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Yeah. They blur the text for half a second as you scroll around, then it sharpens.

rage is currently the best looking game on the consoles, u cannot slight carmack on this one, it looks better than UE3 and it runs FAST on a console.

the texture pop-in for the PC is fixed via the latest patch and the game looks excellent.

the game itself though is complete shit i did finish it and felt extremely dirty and used and depressed after doing so, so i'd advise people to play an hour or so to see the tech demo then stop there.

I have to use a proxy for it to load half-properly

better than crysis 2? riiiiiiight

This is the bottom line. I don't know why people keep debating the graphics. It could look like real life and it wouldn't fucking matter.

ID Tech 5 with MEGATEXTURE

ID Tech 3 (Quake 3 engine) without MEGATEXTURE

Oh oops...

The texture pop-in wasn't the issue, it was the extremely low-res textures on world objects and textures. They still haven't been fixed.

That's not an issue. That's how the game is supposed to look.

Game automatically resizes all textures in the world depending on the system's performance and primarily your GPU memory. Get a 3GB card atleast if you want the best possible visuals as shown in their trailers.

Also, having finished this game on a 512 card, this game runs amazingly great for the kind of visuals it throws at you. After solving the texture issues (and uninstalling the first update which broke the game), I forced the game to use 4096x4096 on my 512MB card. Game was running at 50+ FPS on my age old dual core CPU and looked great.


My only gripe with the game is the shit ending and the fact that the world is static like it was in Doom days. I am pretty sure Duke Nukem 3D had more going on in the world than RAGE.

If you ask me, Ni no Kuni and Eternal Sonata are the best looking games on consoles. You can dress up yet another post-apocalyptic desert with all the mega or giga or teratexturing you like, it's still boring as shit. I feel bored just looking at RAGE, and I'd probably fall into a coma if I actually played it.

Instead of masturbating over megatexturing, id should have thought about the game's setting and art direction.

Obviously every tard who hasn't played the game knows everything about art style over those who have.

So the game's appearance becomes fundamentally different when it's being played and not just watched? Care to explain to me how that works? Does it require special glasses? Maybe rose colored ones?

 

[hoopy]

I don't go around examining peripheral textures. The problem with RAGE is that it's just another boring post-apocalyptic desert. It does not interest me at all. Even if there was some minor difference between playing and watching it, it wouldn't be anywhere near enough to make the game look interesting.

You may not understand russian but the moment you will try to scroll this review you will understand everything

Oh, and

Those fucking 2d trees are hilarious. There was a whole little garden of them at the entrance of the mall or hospital in mutant town; I forgot to grab a screen, but I really should have. No 2d sprite ever looked that low res in any Id game previously.

 

[kingcomrade]

so 20 pages in, we have ample evidence that despite all the pretend elitism, the trying so hard, the condescension, the derps here are just graphics whores. what is that screenshot? it has 8xAA instead of 16x AA? HAHAHA LOSER

cool story, bro. i have a 4gb card, forcing max quality uncompressed textures via cfg. i don't have pop-ups, but everything still looks like shit.
they shipped blurry and shitty textures for objects that you don't view all that often. the less time something is supposed to spend on screen, the shittier the texture it has. the game only looks good if you don't stand still or approach objects and look at them and just keep running through that endless corridor without ever stopping, which would be ok if they didn't hide shit like cards all over the place actually requiring you to stop and look around and notice how blurry low res shit looks or how they fucking forgot to even texture some visible backsides.

it has nice crisp textures on characters and vehicles, shittier blurrier textures on environment, and completely shit textures on minor background objects like boxes or discarded shoes and so on. it only looks neat on a first superficial glance or in low rest youtube videos.

3GB limit is recommended for the max texture size supplied by game (16384x16384). Game doesn't come with 150GB of uncompressed textures id had and which (apparently) they plan to release as a update for PC in HD texture patch (probably will resize it cause no one is stupid enough to download 150GB data for a game).

Game looks amazing when you stand still. I have no idea how the fuck you manage to appreciate anything while running and gunning but good for you. I know that small objects appear low-res but idTech 5 was designed more for the seamless terrain you see everywhere. From what I know they plan to add this feature to models as well by the time Doom 4 ships.

Anyways, I enjoyed the game, looked fine to me even on my shit system despite the bugs. Still, id made a shit PC port in the end then blamed drivers and later "PC's not being so important compared to consoles for them anymore" (- Carmack). The first update actually introduced stuttering for me every few seconds while opening up 2-3 config options in video options in-game.

id is a consoletard Bethesda company now, looking forward to how they fuck up Doom 4.

The game looks exactly the same on all 3 platforms. The only advantage PC users have is higher resolution and AA. There's no difference in how the game looks between my gtx 260 and a gtx 580 for example. So no, you dont need 3 gigs of gpu memory to run the game on "max" settings.

This applies to me too. My problem is even if some people say 'Well, you're not supposed to look at that', so many games have junk tossed about which you're not meant to look at (Crysis, Crysis 2, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Half-Life 2) and they didn't fuck up the graphics in those games.

RAGE has no excuse for looking so shit.

You cant load a high res megatexture off disk that fast thats why they have 2 textures a really low res one and then a slightly higher that pops in. I think the patch just loaded all higher res textures in a radius so u cant notice the pop-in. If they bump up the mega texture size on the computer up you're going to get a lot of HDD lag because I'm sure the next increment will be bigger than 16 GB.

I'd love to play it with 32 GB of ram using an array of SSDs with the full HD textures loaded.

the game itself is shit and so is crysis and all the briandead COD shooters, im just fantasy about this technology being used in a FPS RPG imagine the world details.

 

[MetalCraze]

What ortucis says is that apparently you need to install 3GBs videocard on your XBox360 too otherwise Rage looks worse than every single console shiter there.

Take Carmack's cock out of your mouth, man.

I'm sure XBox360 also gets a lot of HDD lag with Rage, right? 4 years old Crysis looks much better with 512 MBs videocard than this crap with anything.

Have you seen official Rage screenshots? It looks like HL2 at best. Retarded "innovashun" of Carmack failed miserably, there are no magical crisp textures in that game that you unlock only when you install a 16 GB GeForce XXX980 SUPERMEGAOC.

It just looks like shit.


I can't believe there are retards on the Codex who seriously argue that a game made first and foremost for 7 years old hardware needs the most modern one.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

I don't know what game you're playing guys but I play the game with 8K pages and it looks pretty friggin awesome while running with 60 fps.
