bbcisdabomb posted:I haven't been able to see - does this have campaign coop or just mission coop? I regret to inform you that the co-op in this game consists of a series of missions, separate from the main game. Apparently they're framed as legendary exploits of wasteland dwellers some NPCs will tell you about. Also, the extra sewers area isn't pre-order exclusive, just a code they include with new games to discourage used sales.

Is this game still going to be on three discs on the 360 like they said it was years ago? If so, I'll just wait for Borderlands 2.

It's still three disks on 360, however disk three is just the multiplayer game. Fortunately the way the game is structured, supposedly once you begin disk two you never have to go back to any of the disk one content (though there's nothing really stopping you).

They've also said you'll be all right with installing only one disk at a time and skipping the multi-player disc if you're worried about cramming 22GB on your HDD to play Rage.

I believe it locks out unauthorized HDDs (read: just buying a 2.5" SATA on NewEgg and stuffing it into the enclosure), but you can buy their hilariously overpriced authorized drives.

You can upgrade a PS3 drive willy nilly, but if you want a Xbox drive bigger then 250 gigs you're gonna pay upwards of 150 bucks for their proprietary drives.

Have they improved the shotgun at all? The videos I saw all made it look like it was firing beanbags, there was absolutely no visible response to giving someone a faceful of buckshot at close range, which is one of the things that somewhat soured me on the game.

They've said however that one disc will be multiplayer only, and judging by the fact the PC version is only 18 gigs or so, you can probably just install the first two discs, and leave the third disc by itself.

Back in my day, we didn't need a hard drive in our consoles to play our games. Also, we played id games on our computer machines. And we liked it that way!  Rage isn't going to be a "console port" is it?

You can flash certain Western Digital Blue drives and they'll work just fine. $50 for a 250GB notebook drive is a lot better than paying the additional $100 Microsoft tax. Also, did anyone else notice on the TV Spot trailer how the player never shot anyone? He shoots the robots just fine, but misses the humans/mutants.

Streamlining in and of itself isn't a bad thing necessarily, but placing primary focus on console controls rather than making sure all control systems play just as well reeks of pandering. OneEightHundred posted:If I ever mod this I'll make sure it changes to the Quake 2 feedback: Sounding like an artillery cannon and turning enemies into catfood if they're closer than 2 meters. That's exactly what the shotgun should do and if you do ever mod it, you've got a guaranteed download right here. Underwhelming shotgun feedback has turned me off using them in most games, they just don't feel right, and as someone who owns a shotgun, I'm well aware of the mess even a 20 gauge can make.

I don't know why people still can't understand this but: pretty much all games are made for consoles these days, even when the developers claim to put more effort into the PC release it's mainly to placate the ire of the small but vocal PC supremacy whine brigade (see BF3)

At least they're showing gameplay and not just cutscenes, prerenders, or a freeze-framed scene made out of action figures.

Footboy posted:Developers focus on making a game fun; fans outraged. Neglecting a system's control scheme and leading to potential problems (see below) is diametrically counter to the fun component. You can't have fun if you can't control things adequately. Not quite the nerdrage you make it out to be. Finger posted:I've played the PC version. poo poo controls just fine. I'm glad to hear that. I should have had a little more faith in id. I suppose Red Faction: Guerilla and Mercenaries 2 (both had loving awful turret controls on PC because they were programmed for stick input) made me somewhat skeptical especially after having seen that video. This increases my anticipation of the game.

Yeah, Battlefield is a rare example of a game that makes less on Consoles than PC, that's the reason for the focus toward PC in BF3.

There is a program out there that lets you sign normal drives to use with a 360 since the only thing that makes 360 drives authorized is a small bit of data in sectors 16-22.

The implication of the hand-slapping anecdote is that the id people are huge PC-heads who left to their own devices would just naturally stick with mouse and keyboard, so he has to be conscious of that to make sure the console controls won't be given short shrift. I wouldn't worry. Wikipedia Brown fucked around with this message at Sep 29, 2011 around 04:39 |

A third disc JUST for multiplayer?! Holy hell. That has me wondering exactly how big, or how many co-op missions are included in the game to justify a disc on it's own. Or maybe the 6 player combat rally mode is bigger than we think it is? I don't know how it works, but I would assume a lot of the multiplayer stuff would just share the assets from the single player discs. Seems a bit odd to me. But then again, this could just be the same thing as the old id games having a separate .exe launcher for Multiplayer. Wazzit fucked around with this message at Sep 28, 2011 around 23:37 |
