More environments from Rage

As I`m getting through the Rage missions, here is another round of screenshots. Again, it`s great work on environments. They add a lot to the atmosphere.

While playing Rage I could see how final in-game models, textures and shaders are getting closer to their hires sources. I have upgraded recently so even the Megatexture is running fine in most locations. I wonder if ID keeps working on this texturing system for future games. It seems Megatexture in scale as it was used in Rage came too early for current PC hardware and consoles.

Rage - more screenshots

here is more great looking locations and screenshots from Rage. This world is stunningly well detailed and rendered true to id`s half-horror half-futuristic style. I was especially impressed by the Dead City and the Hospital location. The way how their engine works dynamicly with light contrast makes environments much more real.
