    Sounds good. How does it compare to Doom Resurrection, which I thoroughly enjoyed when it first came out. The hype machine is always a killer, man...Tough to live up to!

    Aww, To bad its on rails. I was actually looking forward to this one.

    But let me be clear that this in now way impacts my life. Some of you act like its the end of the world :p

    EDIT: I wasn't a fan of Doom Resurrection. So I'm assuming I won't like this either. But who knows. I'll probably pick it up anyway since its so cheap

    Doom Resurrection was one of my best games for 2009. As much as I'd have liked to see a full rage game on iOS, I think I'll be fine with this one too :)

    On rails? Well that's disappointing. I hate how John Carmack was hiding the fact that it's on rails. I'd rather he just admitted it when he was doing the tech demo.

    Although didn't he say that this year would be the "tech demo" game and next year he would bring the full game?

    When he was showing off the techdemo he said that he had started making it a week before and was basically showing what graphics are possible on the iPhone. At the time I guess he hadn't yet completeley decided what the game comming this year would exactly be like.

    This is on rails?

    Wow.
    Simply wow.

    I was getting so excited for the game considering the graphics, but what's the point if the gameplay isn't good?

    On rails doesen't mean is sucks right away. Go play Doom Resurrection. (bit outdated, but still fun.)

    Who said the gameplay isn't good? The gameplay is great. Where are you getting this from?

    I would say 'lol idiot' but i think Hodapp has humiliated you enough.

    I think it plays a role in the larger Rage story which hasn't yet been revealed in its entirety. The preview I have only allows you to play the tutorial and first level, so you don't get much of a story from that since it's basically just introducing you to the game.

    I'm not saying the gameplay is bad, it would just be a whole lot better if you had the freedom to move around.

    Modern first person shooters are designed in a way that they're basically just cleverly designed corridors. Much like Doom Resurrection, the way you move in the Mutant Bash TV is identical to how you would move anyway.

    his article mentioned it in multiple times.. jut because you can't read and comprehend an english text, thats not my or carmacks fault.. he deosnt need to shout "ON RAILS" to make this clear.. the video shows basic on rails behaviour for a game but even that isn't enough for alot of people.. thats pretty sad to be honest.

    but your "**** you" just shows how pathetic you are.. what a looser.


    as for the game.. i don't mind on rails at all after playing the dukenukem port for ios.. i rather have on rails than wonky analoge controls.. thats cruel what some developer can do to a great game.

    continue with youre flame wars kids.. first epic citadel is on rails now rage/monstr bas tv.. bohoo.. what dark days for ios gaming (not!)

    I`m not going to get into the immature flame war going on.

    But I am a little disappointed that both this and infinity blade are going to be on rails. It just seems like thats going to cripple the possible great games.

    Then again, They`ll still be better than 70% of games on the app store due to their polish.

    I think infinity blade is going to be a "tap here to move" thing, which is fine with me.

    Too bad this is on the rails though. I wasn't a fan of Doom Resurrection, so i'm guessing I probably won't like this either.
