On the consoles we're 60 frames per second. One of the things that always sucked about 60Hz games is traditionally, if you're v-syncing on there, if you miss by a tiny bit it drops to 30FPS, which is catastrophic. That's a fall off a cliff difference there.So what we do on the consoles, where we have this tight control, is we say, OK, you're going 60FPS, it's v-syncing, there are no tear lines. But if you miss by a tiny little bit, we'll let it tear at the top of the screen and we adjust the resolutions dynamically to let it catch back up.

Nice!

That sounds fantastic. I just can't wait to put my hands on their level editor!

fuck off

textures are still second to geometry

looks awesome!! cant wait for it

Don't get me wrong, this looks good and all and I'm definitely going to buy it...

but... is it just me or has every RAGE-trailer/walkthrough with commentary talked us through the simplest and most un-original mechanics while presenting them as revolutionary?

"Instead of just tossing a grenade, you toss down a TURRET"

yes!!! Then I am not the only one who noticed

ALL dev videos are like that

ehhh, with the amount of triangles engines today can push, I have no problems achieving the geometry I want. Texture memory is usually the issue and imo textures are very very important to communicate the look of something, way more important than geometry.

What I hope post-rage megetexture technology will be like: Some kind of virtual megatexture, where everything isn't baked in one huge texture, but this is done in realtime while the game is running. Basically imagine some objects that really need it having huge (mega)textures, while at the same time a lot of stuff is made the old school way of tiling textures, decals and instancing. This way there wont be any restrictions on texture density which seems to be a problem in rage because of there is only a certain ammount of gigabytes that will fit on a disk .

so it would be a bad thing to be able to replace what i assume to be at least some worthwhile amount of texture memory for triangles?

Nu-uh. Usually they talk about something a bit new, or atleast "re-packaged" with a fancy name, or some gameplay gimmick at least.

It's id dude, not thatgamecompany, they make competitive MP games, and mindless fun SP experiences. Deal with it.

I know I know and I love them for it (also, I'm not a fan of thatgamescompany).

But they're trying to angle it as something revolutionary, and it's oh so funny

New vids up

The Wasteland

Borderlands 2. I'm cool with that.

Dux ...

Hype really is through the roof for this one.
