id on Rage Narrative, Quake’s"Identity Crisis"

Moving on from the Xbox 360 Rage debacle, id Software talked about the title itself and its narrative, with Tim Willits admitting that id is not the first company one would really associate with the topic.

Willits goes on to suggest that the story as presented in the game is only part of its narrative and that it also involves the gameplay experiences of the user. The developer also talks about sequels to the game, as well as how they might be named; he also talks about how the Rage story will play out, and how creating a multiplatform game presents various storytelling challenges as the company tries to appeal to a wider audience than before.

Following on, Willits also mentioned how this has affected the Quake franchise, which he notes is going through an “identity crisis�.
