It isn’t all running and gunning like id’s previous efforts, as its got ”towns, driving and exploration” that ”doesn’t detract” from the action. Rage 2 seems certain.
”While we have corridor shooter maps in Rage, there’s much more to it. It has all of the driving and the exploration and the towns that come in,” said id’s technical director John Carmack, named by Rage’s creative director as the most important guy in the industry.
“It doesn’t detract from the shooting at all. It can still be an incredibly fast, guns blazing action shooter, but when you’re taking a break from that you can kit yourself out with extra stuff. All of the towns, driving and exploration have turned out to be very beneficial to the game. I’m very excited for where we’ll go with this in Rage 2,” he continued.
Rage releases on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC September 13th in the US, 16th in Europe. A ton of gameplay footage has been showcased at E3 this week - check some out below.
