Somehow I'm having a hard time accepting that this is an id Software game because it doesn't have the usual biomechanical stuff that every fucking game they've made from Doom and later has had in some form or other.

i think that sounds ace ! (apart from regenerating health, but, yeah, what are you gonna do)...blueprints, upgrades, a CROSSBOW :)

OK, the plot sounds a bit Fallout-lite, but then I read this and now I am officially sold:

id showcased the idTech5 engine and its new "Virtual Texturing" system with Rage at SIGGRAPH 2009, and Shacknews has the (

Hey look. You can make HD next-gen whatchamajiggit games look great without relying on hardcore bloom oversaturation.
Edit: If anything, I'd say the one thing that impresses me the most about those screenshots beyond the big textures is the quality of the lighting. Most games out nowadays have a harsh middle of Death Valley on a cloudless day quality to their outdoor scenes. The lighting in those shots actually looks about what you'd expect from sunlight being diffused through clouds. Nice and smooth.

Scroll down a bit for some higher-res versions of the screenshots:

Also, the comments there say that the lighting is mostly pre-baked and won't be fully dynamic. I suppose that doesn't matter as much for outdoor environments, though--there aren't too many moving light sources out in the desert.

I think that the ground texture are a bit washed out.
