Rage: Totally Original

My ass. I was flipping through Game Informer and saw this game, Rage for Xbox 360, PC and Ps3. So here's the story line

"The setting is definitely Earth, but a post-apocalyptic vision of our terran turf, many years after a catastrophic comet impact. Id aren’t keen to give away the whole picture just yet, but you’ll play a character from the past, part of a plan to rebuild society after the comet hit. “Your primary goal is just to survive,” explains Willits. “To learn about the conflicts, the factions - the bandits, the mutants. And then as the story progresses, you discover that there’s something bigger going on. You’ll work to establish the correct structure to rebuild society."

You wake up from an underground, safe haven and wake up in the wasteland because humans were prepared for the asteroid and build underground places where people could ensure survival. Well the underground holding, something goes wrong and you're the only one who escapes. You then explore the wasteland and see what is left of earth, and learn it is corrupt, evil and you have to do something about it. Oh yeah, there's mutants running around that you have to kill, because people who didn't make it into the holdings got stuck with the aftershock turning them in to filthy brainless zombies. But, the best part, some mutants didn't turn all the way and just look messed up and they speak and are members of society, but are treated harshly.

Sound a little familiar? Yeah, total Fallout 3 storyline steal.

Oh, but it's an asteroid. That makes it totally fine then.

I thought it was pretty good looking. But I guess originality is getting less and less these days.

 

Guys you got the title wrong it should say Fallout 3

 

Sounds sort of like Tribal Rage as well. Minus the whole stereotypical factions ofcourse.

 

DURR FALLOUT 3 CAME OUT BEFORE RAGE SO THAT MEANS IT MUST BE ORIGINAL RIGHT GUIZE?

Barely anything is original anymore and bitching about it is really stupid.

Plus, this game is looking gorgeous. I watched a walkthrough of the new id Tech 5 running this game and what it can do and it blew me away. John Carmack truely is a god among programmers.

 

True we realy shouldn't complain about it but still you have to addmit post-apocalyptic games seem to be in. But it does sound alot like Fallout 3

 

I guess it's something... Then again... Game producers are running out of things to make games about... It's just something we are all gonna have to put up with for a while...

 

I actually thought Fallout 3 meets Left 4 Dead but whatever.
