The 'making of' videos for id Software's Rage have kicked off. Titled "The Legacy of id," this first one kicks off the 6-part series and goes all the way back to the studio roots and how they pioneered the genre.

Rage from id Software and Bethesda Softworks was largely overlooked, yet its handcrafted FPS open world and memorable characters transcend genre convention.
YouTube’s members ‘Digital Dreams’ and ‘Jose cangrejo’ have shared some videos, showcasing Pascal Gilcher’s Reshade mod – which adds Ray Tracing/Path Tracing effects – in some really old games such as Star Wars The Force Unleashed, Crysis 2, RAGE and Resident Evil 6.
I'm still learning how to look for the differences. At first I was focusing on shadows for some reason but I don't think that changes much, is it reflections that change?
It supposed to add more realistic light Not actually more light effects and explosions
I hate to say it but I’m fine with fake lights, shadows, reflections. I just kind of like the effect, it’s also great it saves resources for other things.
I’ve been checking out some original Xbox games on x360/x1x and the engine has fake light streaming in through a stained glass window, and I love it even though I know it’s not real time lighting. Heck it even shifts as I move about.
I’ve about convinced my self rt and hdr just doesn’t work for me. Before hdr I would even complain damn why are the headlights killing me they are so bright.
I notice most frame rate, then jaggies, then resolution; with the last two interchangeable depending.
Other day watched an enthusiast rave over 4k and the poor guy was in 1080p. I played the same game the night before and thought wow this is clean, I wonder if it’s 4k, but knew differently and I thought wow even resolution is not always important. The next day he apologized and was surprised he could be fooled.
How come the lightsabers don't give off any light? Even in the EA star wars game the guy uses it to light up a dark cave. I guess if it is using frostbite it will support rtx cards.
wow id used pc games to do a sh!t load of inspiring for the industry!
now we have to many shooter..
I hope this is more like Fallout 3 than run of the mill FPS action, albeit one with great graphics. I suppose time will tell.
I'm on the fence, though. From watching this video, the I notice RAGE tends to veer towards the latter,, with a LOT of combat. I hope there is a big exploration element.
I've definitely got this one on the radar though, it looks spectacular!
Every other game studio in the gaming industry that's under delivering or wants to improve should be taking notes because they can learn a lot from john carmack & his amazing team at id software so they can start making games of this caliber too!
You know what would be great?
If Rage goes "Released"!
Hurry up already! Rage was revealed the same year as Borderlands.
Rage multiplayer = a missed opportunity.
