Rage will definitely be biggest contender for graphics king of 2010...no doubt about it,after all its John Carmack that is developing it...game will use megatextures which will be huge step forward in terms of graphics...its open world running in 60 fps...

Well they are not exactly bullshots...its called megatextures...basically developers are able to use as much textures as they want to with no performance tax...the game itself is 1 tb in size because of that...everything you see around is one huge meagatexture,its great and it takes so little of console memory...

Don't get me wrong, the game looks good, but I do not understand the praise it gets. Killzone 2, Crysis, Gears and Uncharted 2look better than that to me.

You should look up some of HD videos...it looks phenomenal and it will run 60 fps,that says it all...after all its ID engine 5...they are known to bring the best possible graphics available with their new engines...

And yes...all those games you stated that look better are corridor shooters or linear adventures(thou they still look amazing)

If it's being done by Bethesda, it just as well may. Just look at Oblivion! Epic graphics, even if character design does look a bit... meh.

Crysis is the only other game that has a chance. The lighting and texture work is some of the best I've ever seen. Not to mention the draw distance and the fact that it runs at 60fps.

Hopefully it's still slated for 2010.

And again...this looks like bullshot because of great textures,we are not used to see that kind of textures in open world games running 60 fps but that is what megatextures are here for...

Rage is open world. The main reason why those three games you mention look as good as they do is because of how linear they are. Plus, Rage runs at 60 fps. So, on a technical level, Rage looks better, to me.

I guess you just have to see videos...they have it running on all tree platforms...again i say it all looks like that because of megatextures(men im starting to be boring :))but that is why Id and Carmack have so much respect in gaming world(excluding angry fanboys who cant stand the truth).You should check on youtube when he is demonstrating the tech...its crazy...no worry about amount of textures and memory they take...brilliant...

If it looks that good, is open world, and runs at 60fps, then it is technically impressive than any other game IMO.

Systems wise it will obviously be Crysis2 on PC

No in reality it will be Crysis 2 and Rage...Alan wake looks a little worse then it looked before and heavy rain besides great character models looks cool but not Crysis 2 or Rage cool...after all these are technical masters and when it comes to graphics it is hard to beat Crytek and Id...

Yup, the textures are insanely detailed for a game this size. It won't have the realistic look of Crysis, though. Can't wait for this game.

I have to agree, when I first saw it I thought it looked great but nothing special, but then I watched the video off of XBL on my TV and it look a lot better, can't wait to try the Beta and see how it turns out when it's finally released.

The only difference between that 2006 trailer and Halo 3 was the texture resolution on his armor, the poly count looked about the same. It looked no where near Crysis quality.

Its strange you all think that way...i mean both game will run at 30fps,alan wake somehow looks to linear to me and heavy rains environment looks meh at best...i dont know i still think rage will be technical marvel of 2010...just to see those open world gfx running in 60 fps on consoles...

I personally don't have any difference playing games locked at 30fps then one at 60fps. As long as both are locked and have no framerate drops then I'm fine.

Yes but in shooters it is always nice to play at 60 fps...not to mention what it takes to have great graphics at 60 fps...

I don't see your point. Rage has to make concessions here and there also just like a scripted shooter.

You should look up some of HD videos...it looks phenomenal and it will run 60 fps,that says it all...after all its ID engine 5...they are known to bring the best possible graphics available with their new engines...

And yes...all those games you stated that look better are corridor shooters or linear adventures(thou they still look amazing)

I don't see your point. Rage has to make concessions here and there also just like a scripted shooter.

Well you are free to roam the open world as much as you can...while in the for example alan wake you just can go with path that is programed to go with...its that simple,rage will probably(with crysis 2) be the most advanced game technical...you just cant have open world,great graphics and all that at 60 fps...its gotta be something...maybe Carmack...that fanboys love so much to hate :)
