rAge in pictures – Day 1

We’re live on the ground, ducking fire from civilians, embedding ourselves into rAge in much the same way that a tick embeds itself into a dog. We’re doing interviews, getting the scoop from various developers and wondering what this “vacation” word is that people throw around so casually. We’re also taking photos. Lots and lots of photos!

 

We’ll have more content hitting your faces soon, as we kick rAge off in style. And by that, I mean fight-punching our way through the other journalists present in order to grab the last Coca-Cola can in the press room fridge.

  1. Nothing says Forza Horizon 2 like a Suzuki Swift. 😛
    PS. The K of Mortal Kombat is upside down. 😉

    Jokes aside, it looks pretty damn cool!

      yeah, the swift is basically the GP version of the xbone, i guess.

          its more of a GP insult, but i could throw in a “your mom” joke, to make it more personal if youd prefer?

    Anyone else willing to drop their life and consider moving to JHB for the foreseeable future? Just for some silly entertainment at the premier gaming expo of the southern hemisphere?!

    FOMO like a MOFO dammit. Enjoy guys.

    judgin by the photos it doesnt seem as colorful and exciting as the other expo’s i’ve seen on LG. This surely cannot be the premier gaming expo in the Southern Hempisphere.. if it is i can see why gaming companies and publishers are like.. meh fuck em.

    went yesterday to avoid the kids and crowds and all the effing kids bunked school. Holy hell was it busy. Also very hot and the price of drinks was insanely high, R15 for a bottle of water. The Hot Toys stand was insanely cool and I picked up an Iron Man Mark 42 (MLXX). I almost went today to get the ED-209, but sanity and a rapidly diminishing bank balance prevailed. Other than that the PS4 and XB1 stands were cool, but busy. I did get a few minutes with AC Unity and the XB1 and it is pretty damn cool, but other than that the lines and crowds got to me and I walked out after an hour. I wanted to browse Dark Carnival’s stall, but it was so small that the line wait looked to be at least 30 mins just to get in. Definitely not hanging around to give people my cash.

    I finally saw an XBone next to a PS4. Good grief people weren’t over exaggerating the size of the bone 0_o. It really does look like a VCR. Build quality looks poor as well.

    Oh well, either way, the visuals on both are absolutely incredible. There really is no noticeable difference between visual fidelity of sub 1080p vs full HD. I think you’d have to have 2 images next to eachother to see the difference.

    One thing I did notice however (Especially on Farcry 4) was how jittery the image became when there was a lot of drawing to be done on screen (view distance) and when there was a lot of particle effects happening.

    This is a bit sad as the whole point of a console should be to play a game at a constant performance level without becoming laggy. Lag should be left with the PC where one can always scale down the graphics if need be.

    All in all an amazing E3 this year though.

    PS: Splatoon is an epic game. Did not think it would be as much fun as it was.

      It is massive, isn’t it? You can kill a man with a boner. If that thing falls on top of you, you’re done.

        For sure and it’s really something I hope they fix. The visuals were very impressive compared to what I expected. But I do fear the draw distances and special FX is too much for either console to handle properly for FC4

    I wasn’t too hyped about AC unity, but seeing the visuals in game… omg.. its super pretty!

    And I’m also now ultra hyped for the new COD game, looks super fun.

    Rage was cool, the only downer was the “Gift pack” bag you got at the entrance, was very lame, 3 adverts in a bag?
