id premieres Rage at QuakeCon
EA hasn't quite held up on their end of the Mac gaming bargain, but id has moved a step closer. At QuakeCon over the weekend, they announced that the first game to use their id Tech 5 engine (shown off at WWDC) will be called "Rage," featuring driving in expansive, outdoor environments. id's John Carmack apparently told QuakeCon that he wanted to break with the claustrophobic hallways of Doom and Quake 4, and so Rage will feature lots of "...bright, sunny outdoors."
No date yet, of course (isn't that the way it always works?), but Rage is scheduled for a simultaneous release on all platforms, including our favorite, the Mac.

Hello?
Developers (except for Sport/Movie tie-ins) NEVER meet release dates, unless the date is given about 3 weeks before the actual day
Left4Dead
Orange Box
Crysis
Quake Wars
Stalker
HL2
to name but a few that have missed their release dates

Hate to say it, but judging from the graohics, there's not a Mac in existence that could play Rage at a workable framerate without having to set the detail levels way down.
