id, which is also
responsible for blockbuster franchises such as Doom, Wolfenstein and
Quake, first revealed plans for Rage at last year's Quakeon. Rage will
take gamers through the apocalyptic landscapes of a futuristic Earth
affected by a massive collision with an asteroid.
"It's
more than just a first-person shooter," id CEO Todd Hollenshead
promised at the time. "We will show vehicles and racetracks, driving
and racing elements." Players will aid the villages' inhabitants in
fighting both an oppressive regime and various mutants and monsters
roaming the wasteland.
