Final gameplay video for RAGE takes you into Jackal Canyon

Bethesda has released one final gameplay video for RAGE before it’s release, and it’s called: Jackal Canyon: Recover the Decrypter. In it, the Resistance has heard rumors of an Ark surfacing in Jackal Valley, and you are tasked with searching the site for a data decrypter, which is apparently very valuable. Finding it won’t be easy either as the Jackal Clan awaits those who dare to venture into their territory.

RAGE releases next week in on October 4 in the US and October 7 in Europe.

Amazing.

thanks for posting that Anaron.

not expecting this to be RPG at all, but it seems there's a lot of weapon tweaking involved, so that's role playing right there in a way. also, are we still having problems pre-loading this on Steam? haven't tried recently.

EDIT: still getting the server busy message when trying to pre-load. i hope they fix this, i wanna play Rage by the weekend!

dude it's 21 gigs of game, it can't be all that bad :p i am def looking forward to this, to me it looks very nice. looks like the sequel Borderlands should have gotten (as it is Borderlands 2 just looks like a big DLC for the first game...)

Rage looks interesting, even though I haven't paid much attention to it. Unfortunately, looking interesting isn't enough to justify me purchasing games at the moment. This is the time of the year when everything I want releases, so I can't see myself being able to get Rage as well. It looks fun, but as was said above, I can see it being overshadowed by the major first-person shooters. I did notice a novel based on the game in my local supermarket though, so I might be able to pick that up instead. £3.97 for the book of the game is a lot less than £39.99 or so for the game. Perhaps it'll be on offer or something though, and I'll be able to pick it up cheap. We'll see. The art direction is very nice, though. I like it a lot.

i'm surprised this game isn't getting more love from everyone around here...

Well I would love to buy this game at release but funds are tight and I have to choose between this and BF3. In the long run I'll get way more game play out of BF3 so I have to go with that and Rage will eventually be ~$30. Sadly I think that's how most people will look at it and this games sales will not be what the game probably deserves because of that.

Yeah, I already plan on buying Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3. If I had the money, I'd also buy this game. It's such a shame that it's being released so close to two major FPS titles. :(

While I understand if people cannot do it for financial reasons, I do see this game being drastically different than MW3 and BF3 so it does not bother me they are being released so closely together. Really, really looking forward to checking it out tomorrow. All of a sudden extremely excited. It was truly a surprise when I launched Steam today to download the Gotham City Imposters Beta and saw I could preload it which led me to check the release date. I preordered it awhile back, so really had no clue. Cannot wait.

Ign gave it a 8.5/10. Not a bad review, does not seem like my type of game, though. Just a straight up shooter will not hold me, i need story, or a robust competitive multiplayer. I'll be passing on this game for a bit, till it drops in price a good chunk.

The first review ain't too hot. But other reviews are more solid.

I have a feeling it's going to be like Doom III: id fans will enjoy it.

Cant really trust any review where reviewer only played for a few hours. Reviews should be written after the completion of the game.

Erm, most reviewers get the final code well before the release date. It takes a couple of weeks to press the final version to discs. So it's more than "a few hours."

    • Nobody is buying a PS5 only for playing Until Dawn 2. Their loss.
    • If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.
