The first official trailer for id Software's Rage has been released, letting us all have a good look at the Quakecon video in high definition and not captured from a hand-held camera.

The 2 minute clip shows off the lush new id Tech 5 engine in the game's post apocalyptic desert and sewer environments and finishes with some road-warrior racing action. Check it out right here in the AusGamers video library.

is it just me or is that really unimpressive and underwhelming?

Not really sure tbh. I'm kinda torn in that the storyline potential looks pretty weak, but the engine looks really slick.

I'm kind of the other way Dan, sure the game engine looks awesome but no game engine is really going to stand out anymore like previous new id technologies have. I'm prepared to judge this game on its story and gameplay.

Looks fairly nice but that doesn't mean shit. Plenty of action games look nice and turn out to be another generic single player experience.

This video has been out for 2 or 3 weeks, saw it somewhere else, think from quakecon..... I like it, the graphics look very nice.

This will be a showcase for the tech5 engine, the next game (doom4) will be a true game using the engine.

Seems kind of boring ... you know what would be cooler? Quake V ... without the cartoony textures of Quake IV and Doom III. What's with id games looking like that anyway? They need a new art team.

Even Rage looks cartoony.

Damn im excited for this game. Reminds me so much of that star wars 'pod races' in the desert feel.

Not much Gameplay in the Gameplay Trailer :( Remember the old days, when we'd get doctored screenshots, but at least they'd be in-game footage. Now they don't even pretend.

Ah the good old days.

I dont get it...
what Genre is this game based on. is it an FPS? racing?
other than that the visual's look like they would effectively kill my comp.

I find the visuals a bit meh - sure they are very detailed, but they dont strike me as the least bit realistic. Particularly the (I assume) human characters, some of the environments look pretty good.

Both afaik, which should hopefully be awesome, GTA3/4 with a good first person view would have been the holy grail of games for me.
I still don't understand the obsession with 3rd person view these days...

you mean a remake of quake1.. using todays video game developing technology and maintaining/modernising the essentials from quake1 like the gameplay/physics, sounds, gibs etc etc
