We can go back to fighting over tech5 now, I guess.

TelekineticFrog · Aug 2007

That looks pretty great...hopefully a clear high rez copy will pop up soon for a better look at the detail. Gives off a nice kinda feel though...almost like Motorstorm / Mad Max / Blade Runnerish.

Ferg · Aug 2007

looks pretty sweet

I want to see what this crazy editor technology they've been hawking looks like... how they manage multiple artists working on the same enviro at the same time, and exactly what they meant by being able to have as many textures as you want.

TomDunne · Aug 2007

That very opening bit with the twangy guitar... my first thought is that it was gonna be like a Firefly video game

Not quite that cool, but still looks boffo. Don't wanna read too much into a heavily compressed video, but the lightning seams a bit harsh (my only real complaint about Doom3.)

doc rob · Aug 2007

Beautiful. The tech sounds pretty good too.

What I found interesting was the mention that id had been working on another game "Darkness" until relatively recently. I guess that got canceled and will never see the light of day? It would be cool to hear more of that story. . .

Asmuel · Aug 2007

Good to see them doing something different, I like the art direction

Mad Max/Tatooine/Abe's Odyssey? More interesting then interiors of space ships

Slum · Aug 2007

Yes! Post apocalyptic racing game/fps. BRING IT ON

IronHawk · Aug 2007

oh hell yeah. I knew that shit wasn't just a tech demo.

jam · Aug 2007

Good start on Rage... Quake Zero = win

McIlroy · Aug 2007

Man ID never fails to impress !

RazorBladder · Aug 2007

Very nice, can't wait for a real HD raw feed

U BETTER DELIVER!

*Waits impatiently for a vid of Carmack's Keynotes*

aesir · Aug 2007

Im interested to see how the blend of FPS and racer is gonna work.

Neo_God · Aug 2007

Daz · Aug 2007

That part reminded me of that scene in The Shining.

HellMark · Aug 2007

Looks great! Id always gets me geeked out for their games and their tech.

Some editor shots at IGN that start at image 6.

Renaud Galand · Aug 2007

MAN... I'm speakless... THAT WAS HUGE ! I'm found of everything. Univer, atmosphere, models, env, everything.

Mark Dygert · Aug 2007

Do they have a working real time skin shader or are they really good at faking it? Looks promising.

Ultemate · Aug 2007

Awesome! cant wait to see more

HonkyPunch · Aug 2007

this is pretty much fucking awesome.

Quake 5 better be motherfucking awesome
Because it should.
So rage is a game in it's own?
FUnnnn

Entity · Aug 2007

woah they really improved the shading on the skin since the last video footage

doc rob · Aug 2007

Also, maybe we here at Polycount should be more excited about Quake Zero. Maybe it will be the return of the PPM?

Let's hope the polycounters in attendance at Quakecon get some info.

indian_boy · Aug 2007

holy hot damn! so much has been improved since last they showed this tech to the public. particularly the sking, like Entity mentioned. im just wondering if this is all in-game engine! another thing i'm thinking: if the insects have so much detail, are all but modern engines gonna slow to a crawl? lol jk.

looking good! now i just hope that Quake 5 gets announced tomorrow, and it has a story line that goes after Quake 4, and it doesn't have a 'lame' ending.

JKMakowka · Aug 2007

Wow... those characters (and animations) are certainly a step up over anything I have seen rendered in real time so far (and I would almost dare to say rendered in general).
Especially the eyes made me go "wow"!

The rest is pretty good but nothing exceptional (ok those rock formations on the screenshots look pretty awesome too).

Oh and QuakeZero?
Bring it on!

HonkyPunch · Aug 2007

Quakezero?
Wtf is quake zero?
I demand knowledge!

I honestly cant express how excited I am.
I love ID software

StrangeFate · Aug 2007

looks great, ship it.

kite · Aug 2007

yum that's crunchy & consistent awesome

indian_boy · Aug 2007

i wonder if rawkstar is involved in any of these projects?

It's going to be a free and updated version of Quake3, that basicly is an team building exercise for the second internal id software team.

Steve Schulze · Aug 2007

Powerslide meets Quake eh. Looks pretty schmick.

moose · Aug 2007

looks cool, love the look of the characters. The old-muscle man is pretty awesome.

He did note that id is developing Rage to be a T-rated game, a departure from the company's dark and Mature-rated titles. "We did make the decision that, 'Yeah, the game would probably be a little bit more fun with exploding bodies, but it won't kill us to keep it down at a T rating,'" he said. (Via Gamespot)

Good bye gibs. : ( Id, you were the king of them all.

SkullboX · Aug 2007

Well the trailer itself was pretty boring as far as the game went, but it looked amazing.

I hope the vehicle gameplay doesn't completely suck like it did in halflife 2. Man that was awful.

Toomas · Aug 2007

Racing seems like huge part of the game so im sure they put some work into it.
Specially cause Carmack is quite a car nut.

spacemonkey · Aug 2007

so much interesting shiz from quake con, New team at id - Quake zero, browser based quake 3 style fun.
Rage announced and mention of a new quake with the tech 5 to be made after the second team is formed and they have finished Quake Zero!

Love the old man with the baseball cap!

RazorBladder · Aug 2007

FileShack have uploaded another HD video of the trailer, it's still cam but it looks much better:

http://www.fileshack.com/file.x/10928/HD+Rage+FileShack+QuakeCon+2007+Footage

FileShack exclusive HD footage of Rage built on id Tech 5 from id Software. Over 8 minutes of walkthrough hosted by Matt Hooper of id Software:
http://www.fileshack.com/file.x/10929/HD+Rage+FileShack+QuakeCon+2007+Walkthrough

GameTrailers have also got a 2part streaming vid of carmack talking a lil bit about the tech, looks like there should be a part 3 talking about tools to come.

Fuse · Aug 2007

Carmack explains the benefits of megatexture (Razor mentioned the vids)

THIS... IS... MEGATEXTURE! (cue NIN music)

RazorBladder · Aug 2007

OK, the huge 400mb+ HD walkthrough vid, ends the same way.
"Ok, let's go look at the tools now..."
End.

Fuck you media morons! Give me my tools video! >:(

EDIT: http://www.quakeunity.com/file=2513 <- Carmack's Keynote!

HellMark · Aug 2007

Tools video.

Snowfly · Aug 2007

The tools videos are amazing. My first thought was that it's a 3D version of the starcraft map editor. I'm taking it with a grain of salt, but it promises to make porting and texture budgets obsolete...on top of the high res models we do for normal mapping, it kind of blurs the line between game art and prerendered CG, doesn't it? Exciting times.

Imagine an MMO built around this thing!

One term I didn't catch though...what's virtualization?

Edit: Meh. Wikipedia to the rescue. Now slowly trying to squeeze that into the context of the tools vid I just saw...

LoTekK · Aug 2007

[/ QUOTE ]
A buzzword, as far as I could figure.

From what he was saying, virtualisation seemed to be referring to the way they were handling the resource allocation with the megatexture stuff. Not that I have any actual clue as to what that means exactly.

And yeah, those tools looked sexy!
