From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The first Rage developer diary from Id Software recaps the history of the studio and, conveniently enough, the history of the first person shooter genre as a whole.
" Wolfenstein is the game that created the first person shooter genre," explains company president Todd Hollenshead, "but Doom is the one that popularized [it]," adds executive producer Kevin Cloud.
Quake, for its part, pioneered the sort of online tech which is now "the standard for every multiplayer game on the internet," explains creative direcetor Tim Willits.
So what does Rage bring to the table? "We are arguably the best looking game on the consoles today," says founder and boss John Carmack.
Advancements in the technology behind Rage ensure that players can have "a better gameplay experience [as well as] a better looking game."
Rage, for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, is due out on October 4, the same day as the 360 and PS3
game Dark Souls.
It's also a few weeks after the 360's Gears of War 3 and a few before the multiplatform Batman: Arkham City.
