E3 2011: Rage delayed

id Software's shooter knocked into October

See all of CVG's E3 2011 coverage

Id Software's shooter Rage has been delayed until October 7. It was originally scheduled for release on September 15 in Europe.

The new date has been spotted on the game's official website. GameStop has also knocked Rage's release date back to October although, curiously, the retailer has it down for October 4.

Internet chatter is suggesting the change in date is to avoid Rage clashing with Gears of War 3.

If the game does release on October 4 though it will arrive with Twisted Metal and October 7 would see it clash with Dark Souls.

If news of the delay has made you feel blue, why not watch eight minutes of Rage gameplay to ease the pain?

    Yet again the end of the year is bottle necked with Games.

    With Gears 3, UC3, Battlefield 3, COD MW3 all releasing in the 'Fall', I can see a few more delays coming.

    Basically, if you dont have a 3 at the end of your Game, expect it in 2012*.

    *Unless, your called Skyrim, holy moly, that Game looks great!*

    Brilliant, move it closer to Christmas, there's probably no games coming out then anyway :(

    There will be some big casualties sales wise this Christmas with the amount of great games coming out at the same time :(

    That's got to be bad news for this game. I didn't really have massive hopes for it anyway. Regardless of how important Carmack is/was, ID haven't made a really top game this century, as we discussed in the forums!

    Unfortunately, something that's just 'good' will probably get swallowed up by all the other stuff coming out this 'Fall'.

    Maybe they can spend the extra time by adding more colours :|.

    Probably a good move by them, but a better move would be to release it before Gears 3.

    I dont mind the fact loads of great games are coming out in the same few months at the end of the year - its no different than any other year thats gone before it and gives me time to save up now so I have something to look forward to.
