[citation][nom]crisan_tiberiu[/nom]Piracy doesn't make the PC world very atractive. Thats the only reason why game developers turn away from the PC, they dont make money.[/citation]

You can pirate on consoles. They even sell PS3s and 360s that are already modded to accept pirated games in my area. Argument dismissed... troll.
 
I wish they would have shown tests on X fire systems, I am still having severe draw in issues when I look around. Those bugs have not been fixed yet, after all the updates. SUCKS

To be fair I haven't played this game. With that said, I don't think I ever will.

Last month I seen a 1/2hr long video by Carmack where he is on stage talking about the game pre-release and all excited about how great it is, and everyone was so excited, and clapping and stuff. But then I seen some video's on youtube, and I though, meh.... Well, last week a customer told me how awesome the game is on the Xbox 360, and it got me thinking "should I buy it?".... I checked out a few video's, nothing to long, and was instantly turned off.

Then I read this article, and thought it deserved another look. So I went on youtube and watched about 15 different video's. Now, they can say what they want to say, about it being a console port... They can say they did it because thats where the money is or whatever, and that PC is dying or whatever, but I don't think it's the truth.

The real reason I think they made it on the console first, is because they know it would have been shunned by the PC audience. Everyone thinks Carmack is like a god or something. And thats fine, back in the day he was a good programmer, maybe even a legend or whatever, but this game, IMO (not trying to hurt anyone's feelings), is horrible. Just because Carmack made this game, and he thinks it's awesome, doesn't mean it is.

Reason's why this game is bad:

1. boring
2. bad graphics (for a pc anyways), bad textures
3. dark, gloomy, feel's empty
4. nothing we haven't seen before, not a lot of imagination.
5. vehicles don't look like they drive realistically
6. slow game play
7. not a lot to look at, not a lot going on..
ect. ect.

(edit: oh yeah, forgot, bugs, glitches, oh, and music that I heard just doesn't set the mood for the game IMO.. Not even in the same league as some newer games like BF3, or modern warfare, Crysis 2, Skyrim, ect. ect. or even some older games. Doom 3 wasn't perfect, but at the time it was scary... So much more I want to say, but I'm gonna end it before it turns into a rant..)
 
[citation][nom]rottingsheep[/nom]amazing!a phenom dual core is enough.[/citation]

how is that so amazing ? i manage fine on crysis using a athlon 64 X2 5000+ black ED OC'edto 3 ghz and a radeon 5770, running high settings adna few ultra high, i'm nto amazed at all that this game which was designed for much older consoles , runs great on dual core chips
 
I ran this game on an Intel Core I7 2600K with 16 gigz of RAM and 2 ATI 6870 and this game is completely choppy. It's so bad that after 1 hour of gameplay I went back to the store to ask for a refund.
 
It's sad to see that the more recent new releases tend not to be as polished as they would have been had they been made a few years ago. Is it too much to expect a new game to be relatively free of bugs, optimized, and working correctly? We need more creative juices, too; games are beginning to look the same.
 


The CUDA code has nothing to do with frame rate. It's there to help reduce the time textures pop in.

 
[citation][nom]MasterMace[/nom]This is an instance of a company making a game for consoles and expecting it to work in PCs. This company will be abandoned by PC gamers, and it will settle in on the consoles. Eventually, they'll die off or change, just like the Red Faction series. This applies for the graphics and the quality of the game.[/citation]
i agree with your comment but i don't think it will die off because it is from id software, the same company that produced the Doom seris so it would be an embarrassment to remove it.
 
I think the game was teh biggest letdown ever. Thankfully I got a friend who bought it for PC and I didn't. I knew from teh start the game was going to be overhyped, Nvidia and ATI helped that part too...Anyhow the game looks ok, nothing above average. This is the first game in awhile I actually play with at my stock GTX 480 clocks rather than my usual 875/1750/2000
 
[citation][nom]busuan[/nom]They should have let some good gamers make the game, not the programmers, regardless how skillful they might be. Programmers want to make a game "realistic" with ever more fancy codes and graphics that rely heavily on cutting-edge hardware, while not realizing (!) the intrinsic contradiction of their behavior. id's games were fun during Doom era, but much less today; in these days, keep "shooting" at things is no more gaming per se, IMO.[/citation]

Cutting edge hardware? Did we read the same article?
 
Rage is very light on the GPU

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk0SUbWTCLc

recorded my system playing it

Have a Phenom II x4 965
and a GTX 460

both the CPU and GPU usage are very low during game play

(I also has the logitech software running in order to record using my logitech c910 webcam (rage does not like fraps very much)

and before anyone yells, yes I am using cheat codes (I do when ever it crashes to desktop causing me to lose like 20 minutes of progress due to it not autosaving during a mission)
(PS don't use cheat codes through out the entire game, the main focus is the combat and cheating makes that boring, which is bad for a game with almost no storyline )


Overall I wish more game developers will use this type of rendering for PC games, (once the texture and detail issues are fixed, it can be very beneficial for many games)
 
[citation][nom]cbeermann[/nom]Any1 know why its running so bad on my PC. I have a Phenom X2 550 3.1 Ghz, and a HD 6950.According to this review, it should be able to run it fine but whenever im playing my CPU is at 100% and it runs choppy as hell. I've installed the new RAGE performance driver, as well as that 11.10 thing, neither helped. I added the cache folder for textures, still choppy. I am curious however, that since I have my Steam on my K drive and not on my C if that could be screwing with the cache, anyone know?[/citation]

i dont know if anyone already said this but i think your cpu is bottlenecking.

The CPU benchmarks on page 8 disagree with that suggestion
 
[citation][nom]nebun[/nom]i don't like mediocre graphics....can't wait for next gen consoles, maybe then the ported games will support dx11[/citation]

They will support DX11 or atleast the Xbox 720.
 

Lol nice.. But by then pc's will be DX13 and we will still be in the same predicament. :??:
 
DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. I was a huge ID fan until recently starting with the defamation of wolf, followed by one of the worst games I've ever played; brink. This company has headed in the wrong direction for years. Spare yourself the disappointment. Coming from a hardcore Id fan who has always bought 4 copies of every id to give to friends or brothers. Buy this game in year for 5$ in bargain bin at walmart after the community has had time to fix it, clearly Id isnt going to fix it. The texture popping and severe consolitis make it for a horrible gaming experience. I recommend going back and replaying slightly older games or mods like doom 3 with insanely upgraded graphics and textures using sikkmod or last man standing mod with some friends. Its really that bad. A few friends told me to get it, compared it to doom 3 said it was that of this gen games, nothing even close. So pissed I wasted more money on another junk console port, at least this time i was smart enough to only get suckered into 1 copy. Cant even force it to look good with overrides, spent 30 hours trying and I'm an experienced PC gamer with an extremely high end PC. I'll stop rambling, hopefully you save yourself the money and wait for a decent game.
 
Even with the details set to their maximum levels (and 4x AA applied), the Radeon HD 6750 and GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 manage an average fame rate of about 40 FPS and a minimum above 25 FPS at 1080p.

I think you meant to say 6570 GPU not 6750 GPU. I could be wrong, but I dont' remember seeing a 6750 GPU out there.

There is a 6750, check newegg... it's an updated 5750 with 3D Blu-ray decode acceleration.

But yes, I meant 6570! :)

cry about piracy as much as you want, but do you realize that you can pirate all 3 platforms, two of them very easily? (xbox360 and wii)

I have seen new modchips out for PS3 as well so that one probably is easy as pie too.

RAGE has been a great game from the start for me mainly due to that I don't buy AMD/ATI garbage for my system builds.

Anyone wanting Carmack to fail is just another Gaylo fanboy. What an atrocious POS game that is.
