Rage (video game)/Trivia

The game:

• Hey, It's That Voice!:
  • John Goodman voices Dan Hagar.
  • Redstone, the corrupt mayor of Subwaytown, is clearly voiced by Paul "Snaaaaaaaake!!!" Eiding.
  • Likewise, Captain Marshall, leader of The Resistance, is voiced by Steve Blum.
  • According to the credits, Claudia Black is in there somewhere.
• Shout-Out:
  • You can find a Vault Boy Bobble-head in the game.
  • One of the books you can find is titled "To Serve Mutant".
• What Could Have Been: The complaints about the somewhat incomplete state of the game? Blame the Xbox 360's need for multiple DVDs, according to the developers. Rage was intended to be much huger, at least with the overall memory size. PCs could handle large downloads, and the Play Station 3 at least have Blu-Ray DVDs. The Xbox 360, not so much. With each new DVD, the distribution costs rise even higher per unit, so iD Software was forced to reduce the game's content to fit within three DVDs for the Xbox version. That alone is evident enough for iD fans to argue that Rage would've been better as a PC exclusive, or at least not worrying about pleasing the Xbox 360 audience. Needless to say, Rage's overall reception suggests that bending the game's quality around the Xbox 360 instead of the PC wasn't such a hot idea.
