Major RAGE News, Editor and Gameplay Footage May 8, 2011

A lot of news on id Software’s RAGE has hit the web this week, as well as some brand new footage of the game.

Want to know how the game plays?  Well take a look at this impressive five minute gameplay video.

Next off, all of you dedicated modders out there are going to be very happy to hear that editing tools for RAGE will ship with the PC version of the game.  Like with Doom 3, the Editor will be accessible in the developer console, allowing you to create levels from scratch or modify existing ones.  You will even be able to modify audio files.

The problem is that this comprehensive tool will likely require a pretty high end PC to use to it’s fullest potential (likely higher than RAGE’s system requirements, which will probably require a powerful PC), and building a full level from scratch with the tools is going to take a lot of work.

As for multiplayer, well the game has a multiplayer component but it will not support a traditional deathmatch mode.

RAGE is coming September 13th, 2011 for the Xbox 360, PC and PS3 .
