If you were afraid that the single player campaign in Rage was going to leave you short changed, fret not, for id Software has confirmed that the game will take you around 15 hours to complete.
And that's just factoring in the main quest. According to design director Matt Hooper, those who wish to engage in all the side quests will get another five to ten hours out of the game.
In an interview with GameSpot at the Tokyo Game Show, Hooper explained, "Our goal is to create a lengthy campaign, probably about 15 hours. But for a shooter, that time count is significant because most shooters are eight hours or less. If you do the game's side quests, that adds up to 20 to 25 hours. We put a lot of focus for this significant amount of game alongside the co-op and vehicles. Online components like Combat Rally and Legends of the Wasteland would be a good match for the Rage world. We still care a lot about deathmatch and on-foot combat as a studio, but that kind of sticks to Doom, Quake, and those franchises."
He then went on to detail the multiplayer offerings, saying, "We're really happy with how multiplayer turned out, but it was more on concentrating on single-player and thinking. "That works pretty well. Wouldn't that be fun to do that with a buddy?" We added split-screen mode and online co-op campaigns as a result. The vehicles were there because there weren't any parallels to draw from. We tried the vehicles, physics and all, and we liked it. Those are just bonuses for the players."
Rage is set to arrive on store shelves October 4th.
