Rage - Image 1 "Monster closets" are spawn points that only activate when certain trigger points are reached in a game. This system, while quite surprising and scary the first time but almost always becomes repetitive and very easy to anticipate in subsequent playthroughs, was one of the major criticisms laid against Doom 3. For the upcoming Rage, id Software is making a point of avoiding the monster closet system altogether.

Rage - Image 1Yesterday we reported about some framerate issues dogging the PS3 version of id Software's upcoming multiplatform title, Rage. As id puts it, word of the framerate issue -- which had the game running at 20 to 30 FPS on the PS3 compared to a smooth 60 on Xbox 360 and PC -- caused "quite a ruckus." They have now moved to assure gamers "a great Rage experience" on all platforms.

Rage - Image 1 Last year, id Software generated some... rage for the shooter/racer hybrid Rage when the issue of the Xbox 360 version being gimped due to the lack of disk space cropped up. id has since clarified that the decision to split Rage's 360 version over two discs hasn't gimped it in any way. But why only two? They would have been able to fit in more textures if they went with three DVDs, right? Perhaps, but id co-founder John Carmack says that the nature of the game doesn't allow for it to be spread across three DVDs.
