Why is nobody excited for Rage?

This game looks absolutely phenomenal. If you haven't heard of it, youtube some gameplay or such.

It looks like a brand new Borderlands, but that much better.

This is truly in my top 3 most hyped games of 2011. I'm just shocked that nobody has mentioned it.

I mean... why not? :(

Im excited for it its one of my games lookin forward in 2011..Been following this for a long time.Looks amazing..KInd of borderlandish but better im hopeful..

I'm excited for it dude its my anticipated game of 2011.

I'm pretty excited, but I haven't seen any commercials or too much news on it, so I'm not very pumped just yet.

Yea me too. The hype generally will start growing when approaching the release date.

because there is little info on it?reachrocksman

Eh, I could see it going either way. id software has been rehashing Doom, Quake, and Wolfenstein for almost 20 years. A new IP from them could be really good, or really fail.

im excited for it, but release is still quite a way off, so not really that hyped yet, there are quite a few games coming out first that im more excited for at the moment, but as we get nearer release then i will be hyped for sure

it's not even 2011 yet, and I still haven't heard a release date.

I am sure the hype train will get rolling once it gets closer.

Looks fantastic, a must buy for me. The hype will continue to grow when it gets closer to release time.

It LOOKS great, but there's still a lot of uncertainty about the actual gameplay. There's some vids of gameplay out there, but that doesn't really show the overall picture, nor does the gameplay in the vids really seem all that fantastic.

We'll see. When the game gets closer and we learn more about it, maybe the hype will increase a good bit.

First came Doomcodezer0

Seriously?

Doom?

You're gonna use that as an example of an 'unplayable' game? Doom was a landmark gaming acheivement. The gameplay was brilliant. The level design was top-notch. The different weapons available were fantastic. The game was SCARY(for its time). The monsters have become stuff of legend.

Seriously, bad freakin example there buddy.

relax, people are excited, they just aren't doing cartwheels and backflips in the street while running around naked.

Have some patience. We don't need to start hyping a game coming out late next year. There are still tons of games coming out in January through March. But yes, I am excited for it and it looks like what Borderlands should have been. I was really disappointed in Borderlands. I just couldn't get into the art style.

Im very excited for it but have only seen 1 video

It was boring as heck for me, and you couldn't jump. Duke Nukem 3D came out and had mouse look, verticality (at least, multi-level/story maps), jumping, and was all out a lot more fun. Doom 2 was a snooze by comparison to me. I'm not knocking its technical merit, which is what you seem to think I'm doing. I'm saying the game wasn't fun. Duke3D was.codezer0

I already played this game on the iPhone.

Exactly.

I would agree however that Carmack does seem to have an ego the size of Russia, but hey, I've never met the guy, he could be really nice so who am I to call him out on character traits, heh.

I am excited for Rage because I loved Doom and Borderlands, so this by that equation should also be excellent.

The-Longshot

It just doesn't look that great to me. And because the post-apocalyptic genre has been done to death and back again. I'm not saying that the setting will make it a bad game. But fighting raiders (I know the gameplay involves more) in a ruined landscape and crafting vehicles Mad Max style doesn't get my juices flowing. I've seen the gameplay and it just doesn't excite me. Might be a different story if I play it. But for now? Not that up for it
