Rage Screens Battle for Top Spot as our Desktop Wallpaper
by Xav de Matos, Jan 26, 2011 12:00pm PSTAs a developer, id Software hasn't released a retail title since Doom 3 hit store shelves in 2004. On September 13, 2011, that all changes with the release of the developer's new intellectual property: Rage.
Today, id Software's parent-company Bethesda Softworks has released a trio of new screenshots for the upcoming title. Other than the fact that these images are most definitely staged, that the resolution isn't on-par with the game's confirmed output, and that some post-processing may have been applied: these screens are outstanding.
When it launches, id Software confirms that Rage will be locked at 60 frames per second across the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. The only significant difference across all three platforms the we spotted during QuakeCon 2010 were the loading times; however, the game was still a year off from that point.
If you're itching to enter the Rage universe, an iOS on-rails shooter has been released. Mutant Bash TV is available in both standard and HD flavors.

Verisimilitude isn't the only goal of graphics. I think you're mistaking realism for fidelity, where HL2 strives for a more realistic look, while Rage takes a different artistic direction. Just because Rage doesn't follow your tastes doesn't mean that it isn't competent.
