Written by John Walker on August 4, 2008.

QuakeCon saw, at last, the release of some official screenshots of FPS Rage. And guess what. Only one of them’s brown! Click on the pics for bigger versions.

Carmack, Rage: Extended Trailer

Written by Jim Rossignol on August 1, 2008.

Eurogamer wrote up the Carmack keynote over here, in which he covers future tech and Quake Live stuff. The trailer, which you can see after the jump, is essentially the same footage as the E3 trailer, but with another section tacked on the end. It shows some kind of battle-racing tournament feature, with some shots of the racing itself. Hard to be sure how it’ll play off any of this, but it’s all Id Tech 5, and looking fairly amazing.

QuakeCon: Rage is All The Rage

Written by Alec Meer on July 31, 2008.

We’re not out at this year’s QuakeCon, currently turning downtown Dallas into a frenzy of happy meatheadness, because we all have a pathological terror of large, whooping Texan men. Eurogamer’s Tom Bramwell is a far bolder fellow than we however, so he is out there, and already he’s wheedled some tasty facts on id’s next game, Rage, out of project lead Tim Willits. Who has apparently shaved off his moustache, which by my maths makes id 75% more attractive.

RPS-ish At-ish E3: Day 1, Part 2 - EA

Written by Mathew Kumar on July 15, 2008.

Dear RPS Readers,

Thanks for the interested comments in response to my first post! They have warmed my heart and girded my loins for the rest of the week. Straight after filing my first report I had to dash (well, walk leisurely) across downtown Los Angeles to get to the EA press conference, held at the Orpheum Theatre – a truly gorgeous restored vaudeville theatre where they shot the theatre scenes for Last Action Hero. Which wasn’t as thrilling as accidentally ending up at Union Station (where they filmed the police station scenes for Blade Runner) yesterday, but interesting none the less. In a round about way that sort of sums up EA’s press conference, too. Not hugely thrilling, but unquestionably interesting.

E3: The Trailers - Rage

Written by Alec Meer on July 15, 2008.

id’s upcoming freeformish shooty-vehichley game in action, apparently now featuring Tusken Raiders and Him With The Face From The Goonies. The big news is that EA is publishing it, id having broken from long-time publishers Activision. Ooh, there’s probably some fun gossip behind that. Something to do with Quake Wars not doing so well, perhaps? Or resistance to the Acitivsion-Blizzard merger? Sorry, sorry, I’m being horribly scurrilous. It was probably just a big huge EA cheque.

The New Id Game Is Called “Rage”

Written by Jim Rossignol on August 4, 2007.

And it’s a vehicular shooter. The game will be based on Carmack’s new graphics engine, which makes use of the innovations that made Quake Wars’ large maps possible. There’s even going to be some co-op multiplayer. Gadzooks.

This is the tech demo from some computer expo thing:

So a racing game with better-than-Doom 3 visuals. A new direction for Id? Or their final undoing? Only time will tell.

In related news: all the Id games are now on Steam.
