How'd it wind up on Bethesda's site?
Like the other's mentioned above, I thought of Wolfenstein as an id property. Did it change hands at some point?

Rage wasn't THAT bad. The corridor shooting bits were really good, and the driving could be fun. The story was decent and the voice action/characters were great there just wasnt enough of what it had. If there had been a lot more content, if the individual pieces had been fleshed out a lot more, it would have been a really amazing game. I think if you took the good points of Borderlands and the good points of Rage and made them into a game, you'd have the game that Rage and Borderlands both promised folks they'd be but weren't.

I think Rage was good. But just on consoles. Even console versions suffered from the same bugs like flashing textures etc. It was still very good game and I enjoyed it.

Zidders I kid you not my friend. After watching that game play on a decent AMD desktop series card I cried my eyes out. The graphics were beyond pathetic and Carmack later did say somewhere that they screwed up for the AMD cards. I don't have the link but maybe it was an article on PCGamer that I read. Besides that I've had fair share of troubles with FO3 and Morrowind to give up playing an hour into the game. Bethesda is someone I don't looks forward to at all.

On Topic: The game is on sale for $1 or something on Steam if there are collectors around here

Wow! Wolfenstein 3D was the first game that had me hooked for hours on end playing. I can still hear the dogs barking and the SS soldiers laughing when you opened the doors in that game!

Kinda depressing when I think that was 20 years ago. Damn I am getting old! :lol:
