Goodbye EA, Hello Bethesda - Rage
Post by Steve Farrelly @ 10:54am 16/12/09 | 11 Comments
It seemed like an up-in-the-air situation anyway, post-Bethesda id buyout, but no one really knew what the go with id's forthcoming post-apocalyptic shooter, Rage, was since it was initially being published by EA.

However, news came across the AusGamers virtual desk this morning that appears to indicate Bethesda have taken everything of id, lock, stock and rageing megatextures.

According to Bethesda's interim PR guys, this has not affected anything externally in the game's development, we can just expect a Bethesda sticker on it in place of an EA one.

id seem to pretty much do what they want regardless of publisher. Even though they're owned by Zenimax now, I'm sure they still have the clout to do whatever they want. Now if only they'd pull their heads out of their asses and stick to dedicated servers for the PC version of Rage.

Yeah the last good game developed by a 3rd party dev using id ip was RTCW. While their work on Quake Live is appreciated and "recent" it is all based off Quake 3 which is probably the last decent game they made in house.

id Tech 4 killed it for them.

This is all my opinion, which is as good as fact.

Basically, ID haven't done anything amazing since Q3. Amazingly, Q3 had its 10th birthday 2 weeks ago!

I thought Adrian Carmack said when they announced the buy by Bethesda at quakeworld or wherever that rage would be continuing to be done with EA and that it would only affect future games?

Well I can't speak for ID as much as Carmack himself, in which case,
