[VALVOLINER]

The IGN review was for the PS3 and said nothing about the problems you listed.

The IGN Review did'nt say anything about the PS3 or 360 versions, true.. but ALL game footage showed in the VR is 360 footage not PS3

... and about what the IGN review was for PS3.. ejem

Here's the IGN review for PS3:
https://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/119/1197935p1.html
And here's the IGN review for 360:
https://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/119/1197972p1.html

Conclusion : That was exactly the same Copy & paste text for both reviews..





If you can read spanish here:

https://www.meristation.com/v3/des_...0&idj=cw46b629a9d3792&idp=&tipo=art&c=1&pos=4

"cierta lentitud en la carga de texturas en las versiones para consola (notorio especialmente en la de PlayStation 3)"

"Some slow loading textures on the console versions (especially noticeable in the PlayStation 3)"

"A la versión de PlayStation 3, y en menor medida a la de XBOX 360, les cuesta en ocasiones gestionar las “megatexturas”.

To the PlayStation 3 version, and to a lesser extent to the Xbox 360, sometimes find it difficult to manage the "MegaTextures"

Once again, Do'nt trust to much on IGN reviews my friend

Thanks, Valvoliner....ended up with getting 360. I have no problem with a 3 disk install

 

[Rotfish]

I've got seven minutes left on my install for the PC version... can't wait to play this thing! id Software's my favorite game developer and regardless of whether or not their new endeavors reach absolute perfection, you always know you're going to get a solid, quality game out of it.

 

[snappahead]

Just played for about two hours.

I couldn't install it because of HD space issues. I have an old 20 giger that's almost full and most of it a cant go, so this wasn't an option. As a result, the texture can take a while to load and that affects the look of course. I turn and have to wait a second for the textures t appear. The game runs like butter otherwise. The feel of it is fantastic like you'd expect from an Id game. The guns are fun and the atmosphere is just awesome. Definitely the best looking wasteland to date. Lots of variety and it's all great stuff to look at. I think I'm going to love it.

Had a nasty glitch. Was driving and ran into a invisible wall. Then my buggy and I shot about a 100 feet into the air and I couldn't do anything, so I had t load my last save. Speaking of which. Save every chance you get guys! This game doesn't auto save at all as far as I can tell.

There're 3 discs, 2 for the campaign and the third for the coop multiplayer.

You can install just the first disc, (7gb) and once finished, delete it, and install the disc 2 for example.. but please, play the game installed, because you'll notice a big difference (even Carmack recomended installing the game for both console versions)

I have both consoles but I'll get the 360 version aswell, neverthless i'll installing the 2 campaign discs first, and once finished, Il try the third disc (MP)

Edit: BTW I'm playing the first Crysis on 360 right now (until RAGE arrives), and guys! this is beautiful and awesome too!! :eek :eek

 

[snappahead]

I don't have 7 gigs available hee. It may be time to upgrade.

 

[Matt S]

I have the orginal elite and still have 93 gigs free. I save the save files only, del most of the rest. Once done playing a game, I just delete the installed game....lasts me forever, it seems. Will play this installed for optimal experience

Cant get to it until done with current game

 

[snappahead]

It's mostly DLC that's taking up the room..not that there's much room to be taken. A few map packs and extra quests here and there add up when you've got a small hd.

 

[McHavyck]

Picking it up this afternoon.

 

[EVILFACE]

So this is Fallout with cars?

More like Borderlands without the cel shading.

 

[snappahead]

Yeah that's a decent comparison. Rage is not an rpg though. That should be made clear to everyone considering this. You don't level up your character. There's a bit of looting, but it's limited. It's all about the gameplay. The great thing is that it's a pure shooter. When you're fighting it feels they way youd expect an Id game to feel. Very polished.

The setting and the 60 fps have me all excited....

 

[Craze]

Yep super smooth and polished, plays great.

 

[VALVOLINER]

I have read that the PS3 version had problems with poping and loading textures.. but Man! this is terrible !!

[Matt S]

Thanks for that; glad I went with 360 version

Texture-popping is worst on PC, but I've attempted a fix by adding the codes mentioned in these articles/pages (I have an NVidia card, BTW):


https://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2011/10/rage-on-pc-is-a-mess-but-you-can-fix-some-of-it.ars

https://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?/topic/1236250-rage-support/page__view__findpost__p__18746920


Thanks to these, V-sync has been enabled and best of all, the texture-popping has been reduced by 99% (now it's practically unnoticeable, only happens within the first few seconds of loading a level, and only at the very edge of my screen -- after everything's been loaded the first time, it runs smooth and problem-free). I will say some of the textures are laughably low-res, but there's nothing we can do about that. Lighting system still manages to maintain a heavy sense of realism, so I can't complain too much graphics-wise. It really does look amazing.

Hope those links helped anyone who's gotten the PC version and has a card by the same manufacturer.

 

[Matt S]

So is the 360 having the least issues at the moment?

 

[snappahead]

I can't speak for other systems, I get a lot of it on the 360 too. I didn't install it though, so that may help with it. It's probably the worst texture pop in Ive ever seen. Really unfortunate for such a great looking game to have that problem.

Please, first thing before saying anything : YOU MUST TO INSTALL THE GAME ON 360

I'm playing the 360 version aswell since this morning, and with the game installed AND DOES'NT LOOK LIKE THE PS3 VERSION, I have notice a very slight texture loading, a very few times, but not so greatly exaggerated and noticiable as the PS3 version does on that video.. thats for sure

Even on 360 when you try to play RAGE, without installing a messsage appears recomending installing the game on 360 iand ndicating the GB you need: 22gb for the 3 discs if you want (and this is the first time I see this message on a 360 game)

Edit: I have been searching some forums, and it's true, the PS3 loading texture problem is much more noticiable and exaggerated than the 360 version, and the PS3 owners feel totally dissapointed

And btw this is what happen with the resolution on PS3 a few times according with some forums:
"640x720 in some points in the PS3 version"





However the texture loading problem on PC IS JUST INSANE!!
