New Rage Trailer

GTTV - This looks really good but I can't help but think of it as a more action-y Fallout.

QuakeCon is right around the corner so we're going to be hearing more about this for sure.

Looks pretty good (and it does look like it's borrowed some inspiration from Fallout 3).

I'd say it's hard to make a post-apocalyptic game without making people think it draws inspiration from Fallout 3.

Remember, Rage was first teased before Fallout 3 was released iirc. It was id's Tech5 showcase demonstration game.

However, I think they are bringing enough originality to the post-apocalyptic genre, and the driving aspect really brings a new level to the game. That, and it's a pure FPS. The dice-roll nature of Fallout 3 really bugs me sometimes - crossing FPS-aiming with RPG rules seems so wrong... but at least Fallout 3 is a pretty fun game, and as an RPG is still very enjoyable with a different twist. Just depends on how one approaches it - as an FPS, it's painful. But as an RPG, it has a different level of approach that is overall very fun.

Yep, that was what I was getting at. This is at the opposite end of the spectrum from Fallout. Like you say, a Pure FPS. Borderlands seem to fall in-between Rage and Fallout as it is a more FPS title with RPG elements thrown in.
