PS3 - RAGE - Multiplayer Beta For Rage Doubtful, Demo More Likely Sorry to burst your beta bubble folks, but it doesn't look like you'll be getting your hands on a multiplayer beta for id Software's post-apocalyptic FPS/racing hybrid Rage anytime soon.

Now, although id CEO Todd Hollenshead told VG247 that an open beta for Rage is doubtful, he also said, "There could be something that's more along the lines of a PC demo or maybe a Mac demo that comes out from a test perspective. But really, at this point, that's speculation."

PS3 - RAGE - id boss Todd Hollenshead - the ultimate interview VG247: "When we say "ultimate," we don't mean he's going to die next week.

PS3 - RAGE - Rage Designer Promises No Monster Closets One of the major criticism's lobbed at Doom 3 was its reliance on a "monster closet" system for spawning enemies into a level when trigger points were reached.
