Rage (ID game)

New games engine, only DX9, looks like it requires a high end pc to run at the graphics in the video, but amazing what still can be done with dx9

Rage rages against the DX10

Id drops big ones in Texas

THE WEEKEND was chock full of announcements from Quakevon, Id software's yearly get-together in Texas. Here's the run-down of everything you need to know.

The biggest news was the announcement of Id's new game, titled Rage. It runs on the Tech 5 engine that was saw demonstrated by Steve Jobs at MacWorld, and it looks awesome. It's what's known in the industry as 'original IP', i.e. isn't an existing franchise, has new characters etc. It's being released across PC, Mac, X360 and PS3 but there is, obviously, no date yet.

The game was billed by John Carmack as being "not so dark" as previous games, with wide open outdoors sections and a slightly lighter humour. Rage has adventuring and RPG elements as well as traditional FPS ones.

Bad news for Microsoft though - Rage won't be DX10. "There's no DX10 feature that's going to be driven in Rage," Carmack said in his keynote.

Expect some crazy vehicular gameplay too. Want to have a look at the first footage for yourself?
