That's a texture from a fan-made high-res texture pack mod :colbert:

John Carmack essentially invented 3D graphics suitable for gaming, yet you guys are railing on him for having bugs in his new texture streaming technology that has never been publically tested before, after being bought out by a huge corporation well known for focusing on consoles?
:wtc:
Yeah, because if it wasn't for John Carmack, nobody else would invent it right? [/s]
On a serious note, the complains are understandable, no need to cut him some slack, there are games that weight much less and look better, so was this megatexture worth it? Decide for yourself.

Doom 3 was released in [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doom_3"]2004[/URL], months before Half-Life 2.

I thought Doom3 came out in like 2001.

I'm running with this rageconfig.cfg, the game runs much, much better now.

Did you find those somewhere?
I don't see why they didn't just put all of Wolfenstein 3D or DOOM in the rooms. The whole games. They fit on a floppy disk, for god's sake.

Anyways, [B]ASIDE FROM EVERYTHING INVOLVING GRAPHICS[/B], how good is the game in your opinion? Is the gameplay fun? Does it get boring? Is it linear? Is there variety in the levels and the weapons?

Quite a solid and honest review.
If you're setting auto HQ renderpath the cachemeg functions are not called, and aren't needed.
visdist can also be upped to 1.2 max.
As the gearheads say, "In soviet russia, you FIGHT."
Or, more popularly in my playthrough, "GRENADA!"
I love this game

Pre-ordered 3 hours before release for goodies
i personally think this game was rushed to be released now because they didn't want it to interfere with the skyrim launch.
I managed pretty much get rid of the horrid texture streaming but now I see seams running across some objects and this:

Where is the rage.cfg
for Steam
I just remembered, that's not the only Doom easter egg I believe. Todd Hollenshead said in an interview that if you let the rocket launcher idle for long enough, you get a Doom easter egg.
I just bought the game, about to start it up. If there's online co-op, anyone want to start from the beginning with me? :D

I get the feeling, from watching the videos and reading people's impressions, that Carmack has simply changed from the leader of PC gaming graphic technology to the leader in CONSOLE gaming graphics technology(specifically Xbox 360).
It seems that for a 360 shooter, this is indeed cutting edge graphics in a game. It only seems to be PC gamers say 'wtf?'.

Wrong. John Carmack said a while back that he deeply regretted making RAGE console-oriented.

uhm he's just one guy. he hasn't been the leader in graphics technology ever since graphics technology in games became a multi-team R&D pursuit.
he did however invent a lot of the things that games use today.

Bethesda forum, along with a bit of reading on random sites. It's a compilation of the things that helped me.

TB says the double shotgun and the rage fists are preorder bonuses. Yet I bought it actually after release and I have them.
I bought it like 30 minutes after midnight on release.

Well.
I just have to leave this here.
You know.
AND I'M FUCKING LATE GOD DAMNIT
@Dorak Im pretty sure that was on the last page or two(might have been reddit I saw it posted) but it was also confirmed those textures are from a mod, not default.
When this game gets boring I know I'll just try ragdoll launching off the ATV for distance.
