Introduction To Rage
by Bethesda Softworks, released in October 2011 for Microsoft Windows, the PlayStation
3, and the Xbox 360, and in February 2012 for OS X.[1][2] It was first shown as a tech demo
at the 2007 Apple Worldwide Developers Conference and was announced at
the QuakeCon.[3][4] Rage uses id Software's id Tech 5 game engine and is the final game
released by the company under the supervision of founder John Carmack.
Rage is set in a post-apocalyptic near future, following the impact of the asteroid 99942
Apophis on Earth.[5] Players take control of Nicholas Raine, a soldier put into hibernation
in an underground shelter who emerges into the wasteland a century later, and finds
himself a wanted man by an oppressive organization known as The Authority. The game
has been described as similar to the movie Mad Max 2, and video games such as Duke
Nukem, Fallout and Borderlands.[6]
Rage received mainly positive reviews, with reviewers praising the game's combat
mechanics, gameplay and graphics while criticizing the lack of story, characters, and
direction. A sequel, Rage 2, was released on May 14, 2019.
