Quote:Developer id Software's next big game is Rage and the PC version of the post-apocalyptic first person shooter is due for release in September 2011 via publisher Bethesda Softworks. But at QuakeCon last August it was revealed that id would release a game for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad that would be an introduction to Rage's world.

On the Bethblog.com web site, id's master programmer John Carmack gives a highly detailed and highly technical update on the Rage iPhone project. He states, "What we do have is something unlike anything ever seen on the iOS platforms. It is glorious, and a lot of fun. Development has been proceeding at high intensity since QuakeCon, and we hope to have the app out by the end of November." There will apparently be two versions released. One will be for older versions of the iPhone and iPod Touch while the iPad and iPhone 4 will get a "high definition" version that will be twice that of the standard edition game in terms of download size. Pricing for the standard edition will be 99 cents while the HD versions will have a $1.99 price tag.

This version of the game will show off the Mutant Bash TV portion of the full game with players trying to get from one part of the level to the other with the best score. Carmack states that the game doesn't actually use the PC version of Rage's id tech 5 graphics engine.it does borrow some of Rage's content and media.
