Get some popcorn and take a seat

In our review of Rage – which we really enjoyed – we said that it “simply looks better than anything yet achieved this generation.” But there was a caveat: whenever things didn’t look good, it really stood out. Most notably, the textures could take a while to pop-in, causing weird visual issues that could make the amazing graphics look absolutely dated.

But we figured you'd want to do more than read about the texture pops; you’d want to see it for yourself, too. So we put together a video showing off some of the texture pops we noticed in the first ten minutes or so of the Xbox 360 version, without the installation.
