Rage looks like a great game, and with community support out of the box expect some stellar mods to come early and fast!

Want to mod Rage? Good. Speaking to PC Gamer at a recent press event, Id Creative Director Tim Willits revealed that the PC version of Rage will support modding and level design right out of the box. All you need to do, says Tim, is “Pull down the console, type ‘id studio’, then press enter. Then, bam, there’s all the tools we use.”

As for what you’ll be creating, that’s a little trickier; Id’s technology has moved on since you could fit 100′s of Doom levels on a CD. “Building levels from scratch is more difficult,” says Tim, “because we have a layer system in some of the levels. I can foresee somebody modding up Wellspring (a town in-game) and adding different characters, giving them different voice-over.” But if you’ve got the development skills to use it, the level editor will be there. “It’s built into the engine,” says Tim.

Will you be creating levels for Rage? Do let us know. We’ll try and feature the best mods when Rage launches in September.

Good news, I'm a huge fan of the ID Tech 4 engine. Very underrated.

id Software have always supported modders and modding, although later in a game's life, so this isn't really much of a surprise.

I think the ID Tech 5 is going to be great, I am intrigued by the virtual texturing which is a more advanced type of megatexturing enabling ridiculously detailed textures.

To dredge up a little covered game - Id's been doing the rounds. I believe it's out October 4th. It might be a good segue from New Vegas to something somewhat different.

In those three hours, I discovered a first-person shooter. Also, a racing game. And a car combat game. And an open-world adventure. A collectible card came, too. Lastly, it's practically every piece of apocalyptic science fiction we have known to date tossed into a blender, set to puree, poured onto a disc, and spread evenly over a seemingly lengthy and elaborate single-player adventure.


And that's certainly what I'd call those first few hours of Rage: polished, almost to a glistening sheen.

Oh, and I suppose I should mention it's also pretty damned fun. That's probably an important detail.

plus, they want to try and match their brother company Bethesda, as ZeniMax owns Bethesda and Id
