New RAGE gameplay trailer paints a generic ‘wasteland,’
The Fallout/Borderlands/Mad Max/etc. setting is decidedly uninspiring (calling it ‘The Wasteland’ almost seems like an intentional joke), but the world’s id-Tech-5-powered vibrancy, the quality of id’s character designs and animations, and the promise of shooting stuff in the head and driving buggies through explosions all holds our interest more than well enough:
RAGE is scheduled to release September of this year (the 13th in North America, 15th in Europe), and you can expect to see a helluva lot more of it in the coming months – id and Bethesda aren’t just seeking commercial success for the game, they’re also banking on the industry success of the engine. They’ve clearly already stepped up the game’s marketing push, as obviously evidenced by the look of our site at the moment.
