MaceUK33 Dirk Diggler's stuntman Hotshot Registered: 01/10/05 Posts: 8836 Loc: Darlington, UK	I am really enjoying Rage, great game! Yeah the textures are blurry close up but the art style and gun play it excellent and this has to have the best AI in a FPS! Different enemies use different attack patterns and weapons, like the mutants who jump and swing and dodge left and right and some others who take cover, blind firing whilst a heavy armoured dude moves forward with a shield or a mini-gun. When you wound one, they will attempt to get away or try and crawl. Simply brilliant IMO _________________________ Antec 902 \| MSI GTX 570 OC Twin FrozR 3 1280MB GDDR5 \| Samsung F3 1TB \| Corsair 6GB DDR3 \| Gigabyte EX58-UD3R Intel X58 \| LG DVD±RW SATA DL RW \| Corsair TX 650W ATX2.2 PSU \| Intel i7 920 2.66Ghz D0 OC'd to 3.40GHz \| Coolermaster V8 CPU Cooler \| W7 HP 64 bit \| 27" iiyama monitor \| TM HOTAS Warthog #05225 \| TM Cougar MFDs \| Saitek Pro-flight combat pedals \| Track IR 5 Tolerance and apathy are the last virtues of a dying society.

Coot Gooood Morning SimHQ! Senior Member Registered: 08/30/05 Posts: 4555 Loc: !!USA!!	Which version are you playing Mace? Blurring as when you walk up to a mountain face you go crossed-eye blurry? Looks fun but I may have to wait till its cheaper. Too many other goodies coming out soon and I also want more ram and a new video card. Expensive couple of months here lol. _________________________ " Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime and pure...are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments."

MaceUK33 Dirk Diggler's stuntman Hotshot Registered: 01/10/05 Posts: 8836 Loc: Darlington, UK	PC version. It's because it uses a new texturing method where it streams 'megatextures' onto the surfaces and does away with tiles. Some people are going mad about it but for me it's completely playable and looks great. http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197970960396/screenshot/558669913778008088?tab=public It is great fun and it's what id are good at. _________________________ Antec 902 \| MSI GTX 570 OC Twin FrozR 3 1280MB GDDR5 \| Samsung F3 1TB \| Corsair 6GB DDR3 \| Gigabyte EX58-UD3R Intel X58 \| LG DVD±RW SATA DL RW \| Corsair TX 650W ATX2.2 PSU \| Intel i7 920 2.66Ghz D0 OC'd to 3.40GHz \| Coolermaster V8 CPU Cooler \| W7 HP 64 bit \| 27" iiyama monitor \| TM HOTAS Warthog #05225 \| TM Cougar MFDs \| Saitek Pro-flight combat pedals \| Track IR 5 Tolerance and apathy are the last virtues of a dying society.

Jedi Master Entil'zha Big Kahuna Registered: 02/15/00 Posts: 33095 Loc: Space Coast, USA	Yes, it's pretty obvious really that building it for the PC and then scaling down to the consoles would be more logical, but I guess they were too close to it for awhile to see that.
