Rage getting a tie-in novel

Well isnt this just a funny thing, lol :P

Somehow I'm not really getting into the look of the game. Technically impressive as always, the enemy animations look pretty sweet but the color palette and character design look like tweaked versions of Doom (III of course). Maybe I need to see the more open-world gameplay videos. I've seen enough trailers for this.

I want it.

this game looks sooo good

waiting patiently for this game to come out... should be fun and hope it has long a campaign and focus on single player experience... lots of games these days lack that....

First saw this game talked about in 2007 and they said they where going make this a blu-ray/HD dvd game(whichever won the hi-def war) cant see that happening now:(

Not sold on this game yet. Seems like Fallout with better graphics but less character. Where's the story hook? What new gameplay mechanic are they giving us?

I'll pick up the book also. I like reading, and I think this will be a good expansion on the world. I have been following Rage for a little while now, and it has been very intriguing to say the least.

cant wait for this game.

Ya Im still a bit skeptical on rage.. Idk it just feels so.. overdone now.

Books are good but they should of been like everyone else and just release a second rate straight to the store anime-cartoon movie oh wait this is a whole lot better idea

Sweet! Looking forward to this :D

Waiting for this one but really waiting for BRINK.

@Barighm hmm...sorry rdr is a geat game but i just dont see how it is similar to this...maybe its the picture that reminded you of rdr, that guy sure looks like a cowboy :) but anyway i dont think it will be anything like rdr, here's a few reasons: - FPS not 3rd person - completely different time period and setting - cars not horses - modern and made up weapons - completely different looking play style - etc.

game looks incredible...but dont know about a novel based on a game? never tried reading one so anyone read many books based on games? if so are they often good?

@Barighm Yeah right, because all game must be like red dead redemption, st*pid console gamer, can you imagine how much game rdr copied?

@raptures330 I'd wager the game still has to be good, like the others that you listed for example, in order for people to buy the multi-tie-in products in the first place. The universe doesn't sell itself without a strong game title as a launching point. It just seems now the industry is confident the game is going to be good so they are getting a head start on the merch.

Just gimme the game already!

I'm down with that if it's just one, not a whole series like Halo...

Heh, tie-in novel. The Mass Effect comics were popular enough (not to speak for the Halo novels). This is going to become the norm as we go forward. Companies no longer want to make a fantastic game. They want to make a fantastic universe (with all the added merchandise). Novels, comics, action figures, movies/animated movies, kitchen spoons, Halloween costume, posters, lego blocks, megabloks... The amount of money Halo makes just on the game is a paltry sum when compared to the merchandising monster that it is.

Too bad there isn't a Borders where I live, my library is also too out of the way so getting it through inter-library loan probably won't work.

Sounds like Red Dead Redemption, but in a post-apocalyptic setting.

Can't wait for the game ....... id u'r the best.
