Rage trailer details the story behind the wasteland
by Xav de Matos, Jul 07, 2011 5:00pm PDTIn a new "behind the scenes" trailer for the upcoming shooter Rage dubbed "The Dawn," team members from id Software detail the story of the game's wasteland setting.
Rage takes place 100 years after a meteor ravages earth in 2036, following an unnamed protagonist that must venture out into the world after being awoken from one of the planet's many survival programs. As the sole survivor of his or her particular "Ark," the player faces a world covered in mutants and violence alone.
Rage is coming to the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 on October 4.

Most FPS put you in one area, you kill a bunch of guys, get to some kind of dropoff vehicle or new landmark, watch a bland cutscene and start a new level.
Just because they didn't adopt the one idea you mention within your whole post "You're not a leader" doesn't make it unoriginal. As well, look at ANY WWII SHOOTER. There's a shit tonne of them. In every single one, you're just *a* soldier, no high ranking officer. Obviously you're the one who does everything, otherwise it'd be a boring game, but you've just basically named MOST shooters. Look through your FPS collection, I bet in most of them you are just an average guy who somehow survives really well. Especially in multiplayer.
