The shooter market has never been more crowded than it is nowadays. However, to id creative director Tim Willits he still sees massive potential in the genre of shooters.
“The FPS I feel is the very best genre because it places you, the game player into the experience like no other type of genre does, said Willits.
However, Rage includes things like driving, RPG progressing and crafting, and he notes that the genre will continue to evolve. “Even the word genre is a bit too constricting and I think that people should remove labels from games and let games just be games, said Willits. “I’ve always felt that the future is very bright for first person shooters. We have so many fans and there are so many different directions it could take that I believe that in itself, it’ll be around for years and that id software will be around for years too.”
