id Software On Rage, Storytelling In Games

Posted by Soulskill on from the my-rocket-launcher-does-the-talking dept.

Tom Willits of id Software took some time recently to speak about storytelling as it relates to id's previous games, and how it will be a part of their upcoming shooter, Rage. He also dispelled rumors that Rage would suffer content cuts due to Xbox hardware limitations. Unfortunately, he called into question whether mods will be a possibility for the game, saying that the issue is still under consideration.

  1. Are There Still "id Fanboys"? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Id is a relic of the 1990s who for some reason haven't gone away. Gaming has long past them by.

    It was just embarrassing to have to listen to Carmack crying over how he couldn't handle modern console graphics hardware and parallel chip design. Or listening to him try to impress people with silly marketing buzzwords like 'mega-texturing'.

    Either close the fucking place down or hire some competent engineers who aren't still living in the 1990s like Carmack.

    Or is someone confusing storyline with backstory?

    Instead of ending your posts with sentences like that, you could try wearing a T-Shirt with "CUNT" written across it, front and back. You would achieve much the same effect.
