Developers love ending the world. Rage, id software's first new IP in fifteen years, is set during the aftermath of an asteroid impact which wiped out the majority of human life. Survivors reformed, fashioning ramshackle cities or joining bandit gangs who roam the wasteland killing or maiming anyone who gets close. Combat racing became the norm. Food, water and supplies became scarce. Fairly typical stuff for the apocalypse.
There's a sense of familiarity about Rage that extends beyond the setting, at least at first. The game opens with you emerging from your Ark, a kind of apocalypse get-out-of-jail-free card, and instantly having to team up with the leader of a local settlement. From here, you're sent out into the wasteland with quests, travelling between a couple of mission areas and towns on a series of fetch- or kill-quests. Borderlands springs to mind, and for a while it seems like the game is going to be a fairly mundane clone of Gearbox's 2009 title.
A few hours in though - once you reach Wellsprings, Rage's first major town - the differences begin to make themselves clear.
