Hey look, a new Rage developer diary! This is good news because if you're like me, you're still looking for any reason at all to be interested in this game. I know, I know. It's a first-person shooter made by id, the Kings of first-person shooters. My problem, however, lies in the fact that...well...it's a first-person shooter. A pretty one, sure, but how much *bang*bang* can a guy take before the whole thing just feels tired.

In any rate, check out the developer diary as well. It may make you see the light, or not. Is Skyrim out yet?

    RAGE still has potential. Not so much hype going on here, but I'm certainly interested in this. Usually games thrive on hype to get their sales numbers, but it looks like RAGE is ignoring that traditional tactic. Kind of refreshing, actually.

    At first when I heard about this game I was like, "Meh, Fallout knockoff with emphasis on shooting dudes." Now I'm singing a different tune, not because it's pretty or anything but because from what I have read about this game is the levels are large sprawling environments not a linear line of scripted events that I would rather eat popcorn to then play. Who better to bring back traditional level formats in shooters then ID? Honestly I think this is a game worth keeping an eye on.

    I'm sorry but this industry is already boring me to tears with gritty FPSes that my eyes are getting turned inside out. I just don't see why anyone is still so excited about these gritty gun gangbangs that come along every month then go around claiming games deserve more respect. Shooters have become the game equivolent of romantic comedies and instead of Jennifer Anniston, we get glass garglers... or Steve Blum.

    Call me cynical but I just don't see that one great feature that puts this rabid dog ahead of the pack and the pack of dogs in question are already losing their bite.

    I really hope RAGE is as good as I think it will be.

    From when this game was announced i have seen a very similar change in both my friends and myself... we have all lost interest. Truth is, it seems like the majority of us folks have lost interest in the "wasteland mercenary" shooter. To me it seems like this games hook was the setting, but this setting has been done. Yeah, maybe that's the reason, or, maybe its because dark souls comes out in the same week!

    I've definitely been getting a bit of FPS burn out recently. Even the recent Bioshock Infinite vids left me unmoved, which surprised the hell out of me.

    I don't know too much about the game, but linear FPS's are all getting very unappealing to me. That being said, open world or FPS's that give you options for completeing a level still make me happy.
