RAGE ‘Scorchers’ DLC sets the post-apocalypse ablaze next week



So it turns out RAGE has DLC. DLC that’s coming out a year after the game, with all the marketing bluster of a mouse’s fart. But hey: we enjoyed RAGE back in the hazy mists of 2011, so perhaps it’s time to get excited. Scorchers will set you back a relatively modest $4.99, and it’s actually sounding pretty substantial, offering half-a-dozen new areas and a shiny (well, rusty) new gun, among other things.

Rage's website http://bethsoft.com/en-gb/games/scorchers

“Battle an all-new maniacal bandit clan, wreak havoc with new brutally efficient weapons and explore undiscovered areas in RAGE’s new official add-on pack, RAGE: The Scorchers™. Fight alongside new allies to thwart the Scorcher clan’s deadly plot to destroy the Wasteland. The add-on pack also includes ‘Ultra-Nightmare’, a new high difficulty mode, as well as an ‘Extended Play’ option that allows you to play past the original ending of the game – giving you the opportunity to finish collecting items and achievements.”

So it seems almost akin to Fallout 3′s Broken Steel expansion, offering up additional story quests and the ability to return to the world after the credits have rolled. Also of note: a new season of Mutant Bash TV, and a new Nailgun weapon with “three distinct ammunition types”. It’s hitting the post-apocalypse next week – Tuesday to be exact, three days before our own apocalyptic event.

.....Really? We hear nothing for a year, and then they give us DLC? I'm not complaining, I loved Rage, just seems a bit bizarre.

Game was OK but the ending left me feeling very bitter towards it, not getting another penny out of me.

I liked Rage though the ending was poor. Not sure if I be bothered with the DLC at this stage I don't think I have my save files any more.

Still seems like a reasonable amount of content. I know the scorcher faction was cut originally from the game as they where listed in detail in the game guide and on websites. They probably wouldn't justify being added back in on there own so they added some additional content in as well.

Rage left a very sour taste in the mouth. I would like to jump back into some of the more fun gunplay bits though. I'll pick this up on a steam sale, I don't feel I want to support id this time.

Seems Id are rather unpopular these days.

Is coming for PC too ya? I read an article on game informer and it didn't mention PC at all only Xbox live and psn.

if they would have focus more on FPS and not mario kart, then maybe it would have ended up a very nice game...

I thought the combat was fine in it. The car racing was pretty bland though.
