Yeah but we've had about 19,000* post apocalyptic wasteland games since then.

Watching the video I'm not amazingly impressed.

What's being shown off there is a good texture engine. Pre-baked lighting, low polygon environments and models. It's impressive he's squeezed that texture work into the ram but it's not technically mindblowing and I suspect the xbox can output visuals similar to that (unless he was using more modern GPU commands that aren't part of the xbox)

The rage game does look rather generic, but I suppose it's just a vehicle for the engine really

Doesn't sound like it. It's now Bethesda exclusive with no plans to allow other companies to use the engine for anything.

Does anyone really care about Rage? its just another wasteland game, by the time it comes out it'll be out of date.

good point. also, i have yet to see a gameplay feature that isn't already available in Borderlands.

Anyone know if there's a website that offer archived versions of the event? QuakeLive.tv done a good job streaming everything live, but they seem useless at putting up any archived versions of the show to watch later for people like me who didn't have time to stay up all night.
