id Software's RAGE Map Recreated In Unreal Engine 4

When RAGE was released, a lot of gamers criticized its engine, id Tech 5, as it was plagued with... well, a lot of issues. But what if id Software's shooter was powered by a different engine? Well, Polycount's member 'AkiRa' (Sebastian Schulz) is currently working on a scene from RAGE in Unreal Engine 4.

Rage had mad potential, but for some reason I just couldn't finish it, it felt empty or something idk. Hopefully they can build on that game and come up with a new IP with the foundation of Rage and new concepts.

I just completed Rage the other day. I played the PC version. It was decent but as you said, could've been a lot more.

I'm wrapping up my RAGE platinum today, got Obsessive Compulsive yestersay

=D

My biggest issue was that it was a masked world. The main area just led to spoke areas. Linear levels that you ziplined out each time. I'd love to see RAGE 2 truly openworld.

Rage as a game had lots of potential. For me the shining star was the engine.

I mainly picked up this game to see what the Tech5 engine was like. Really impressed and it's extremely scalable. Besides texture pop-in issues on previous generation consoles, the visuals were impressive.

Take the latest Wolfenstein - The game was practically identical on both the Xbone and PS4 @ 60fps.

This engine should be utilized in more games.

Rage did it for me with id software. If I'm ever interested it their game, I'm waiting for a severe price cut. Unless one day they completely blow my mind, that's not going to change. Ever.

id couldn't finish it either so don't feel bad:P

Just a joke...sort of

The gunplay in Rage was top notch, but it felt like half a game. I was surprised the campaign was so short.

Perjoss3572d ago

I loved Rage, the game world, combat and enemies were fantastic, shame about the disappointing ending.

seanpitt233572d ago

That ending was a joke after 6 years in development they had enough.

BattleTorn3572d ago

Hah hah!!

I'm getting my last two trophies in Rage - as I write this. (Gotta finish co-op, anyone?)

Yesterday I got all the cards, and schematics (both missable)

I loved re-playing, it has aged extremely well. First time playing on PS3, the texture pop in wasn't nealry as bad as at launch.

Clown_Syndr0me3572d ago

This reminds me - did anyone notice how many shots of "Rage" box and title screen were in Breaking Bad? Often in Jesses house they snuck in some sort of reference to the game, be it the pause screen or the game on the shelf.
It was like theyd been paid to promote it, only when Jesse played Rage it was a light gun rail shooter...nothing like the real game. False advertising? Or am I over thinking it??

BattleTorn3572d ago (Edited 3572d ago )

There is also Tuco's grill inside the crystal cube - the one Hank gets - inside Captain Marshalls Office in the game

They had some sort o advertising deal

Nodoze3572d ago

Not nearly as bad as the BLATANT Chrysler ad. Loved the show, but that was ridiculous.

Fans??? This is done by one person

WoodsRatesGames1105d ago

Someone else was commissioned to do the music and another person modelled the batmobile. Links to all involved are included in the article.

Am I crazy or is there an Unreal Engine 5 now? Why promote old tech?

waverider1125d ago

I really dont understand either? isnt the Unreal Engine 5 already available for studios? arent they already working with it?

masterfox1125d ago

UE5 Is for PS5 only, deal with it! :D

***runs away from this thread with pride!**

Tacoboto1125d ago

UE5 is not released yet and developers for years will still make UE4 games because that's where their tools and customizations are.

Mortal Kombat still uses UE3. Mass Effect Legendary Edition is also still UE3.

Magog1125d ago

That more of an embarrassing indictment of those devs than a reason to promote old software.

Tacoboto1125d ago

Embarrassing indictment? You know nothing of software development then.

Spenok1125d ago (Edited 1125d ago )

Because a ridiculous amount of the industry still uses 4, and because no, 5 is not out yet. They said it would launch later this year.

AuraAbjure1125d ago

Companies still use Unreal Engine 3.

Really impressive tech but I don’t even notice all of these benefits in real life, never mind being chased by zombies in a video game. Rather devote resources to resolution and frame rate.

Magog1125d ago

If you suddenly stopped casting reflections in a mirror I think you would notice.

Edit: i misread this.
N4G really needs a delete comment button lol

Einhander19711123d ago

Yes after seeing the Unreal 5 ps5 reveal, I thought that's where we were heading. But saying that I have read various articles that suggest its easy for developers to still work on Unreal 4 and carry everything over to Unreal 5 when needed, we shall see.
