The Howdy Glossary

RAGE, the Rockstar Advanced Game Engine, is a proprietary technology developed by Rockstar Games for use in their titles. It was first introduced with Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis in 2006 and has since been featured in several of the company's major releases, including Grand Theft Auto IV and its expansions, Red Dead Redemption and Max Payne 3. RAGE provides advanced graphical capabilities such as realistic character animations, dynamic lighting systems and detailed environments that enhance immersion in gameplay experiences. The engine supports both third-person and first-person perspectives, making it versatile for different types of games within Rockstar's portfolio while ensuring high levels of visual fidelity on consoles and PC alike. Over time RAGE has been updated to keep up with technological advancements — a notable example being its adaptation for Grand Theft Auto V to accommodate the game's expansive open world design combined with an online multiplayer component.
