Rockstar Advanced Game Engine (RAGE), is a game engine created by video game developers Rockstar San Diego and Rockstar North. Rockstar developed the engine to facilitate game development on the Xbox 360, Wii and PlayStation 3 consoles. Prior to RAGE, Rockstar used Criterion Games' RenderWare engine to develop various game titles, including the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and PC installments of the Grand Theft Auto franchise.[1] Development of RAGE was a reaction to the acquisition of Criterion by video game conglomerate Electronic Arts. Rockstar chose not to license the RenderWare engine due to concern over the information gathering clause in EA's license agreement.
