GC: New engine wasn't for Rage, id reveals

"We actually started working on another game," id boss Todd Hollenshead reveals to CVG
id Software CEO Todd Hollenshead has revealed that the company's stunning new Id Tech 5 engine actually wasn't intended for its latest Mad Max-style shooter Rage.

"We actually started working on another game and as the technical direction was made clear we decided to go in a different direction," he revealed to CVG today.

"We didn't design the game for Rage and then John Carmack worked on the technology to make it work; John was working on some technology and we thought we had one direction we wanted to go in in respect to a different game. But as technology evolved it basically got about a year into it and effectively we sad 'we're going to throw all that away and start a new project.'"

And that project became Rage. We saw the game running on all three platforms this afternoon and despite the expectedly lower anti-aliasing on the console versions, they all looked near-identical.

"Every triangle and every pixel is identical," claimed Hollenshead. No need to upgrade the PC after all...
