Evolution of the RAGE Engine - The Horse Power Behind Max Payne 3

With Max Payne 3 hitting store shelves tomorrow (or today at MyGames), we thought it would be a good idea to go back and look at the graphics engine that is powering the dark tale of revenge.

Rockstar San Diego released the RAGE Engine in 2006, with the first game powered by the new technology being Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis. The engine was evolved from the Angel Game Engine, which was acquired by the developer for iterations in the Midnight Club series and other ventures.

Since then the engine has powered Midnight Club: Los Angeles, Grand Theft Auto IV and it's subsequent expansions, Red Dead Redemption and now Max Payne 3. Take a look at the following screenshots, and see for yourself how this engine has evolved over the past six years.

Max Payne 3 will arrived on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 tomorrow, with the PC release coming next month.

:D :D Looking forward to getting this so much. The graphics look so nice and it looks like a real pleasure to play just to watch the game. The Gameplay looks really smooth and fun as well!
The screenshots of these games dont do them justice. RDR was one of the best landscapes I've ever seen graphically. It looks bad in screenshots.

Max Payne should be a great game.
