This looks pretty awesome. thoughts?
**MOD EDIT**
"In an interview with Shacknews, id Software's John Carmack and Matt Hooper talked up new details on the company's upcoming shooter. Revealed last year, Rage is a post-apocalyptic shooter that will feature a significant racing component. Though Rage will not be a traditional "sandbox" game, it will see players racing across open spaces towards instances that contain traditional shooter sequences. Few concrete gameplay details have been released since the game's announcement, but today the developers did let a few extra details slip."
Highlights:
* Two player online co-op is confirmed for consoles and PC. Console players will also have the option of split-screen co-op.
* Co-op will be an entirely separate mode that will not include the story elements of the single player campaign.
* Hooper mentioned "armor" and "inventory" systems, and indicated that there will be some type of world economy that the player can participate in.
* The shooter gameplay will play out in the tradition of id FPS titles.
* Vehicles are being used as an "extension of the player," allowing users to drive to instances, or race on tracks that are found in each town.
* Racers will have two seats for co-op riding, with one player manning a gun.
* Vehicles can run over monsters, but the gore will be limited, as id is shooting for a Teen rating to broaden its audience.
* Training missions played at racetracks will teach players new vehicle skills.
* Though the world will be large, it is not a sandbox title or traditional "open world" game--players will need to complete the game's story quests in a linear fashion.
* Instances, encounters and items will be crafted, not procedurally generated as in a game like Diablo.
* The game is targeted for release sometime within the next two years--likely in the final half of 2009.

The lack of a full blown co-op is weak though. I am big on online co-op.
