DOOM Eternal vs RAGE 2 - Which id software FPS looks more impressive?

Doom Eternal looks like a hoot from what i saw. if it comes to Linux i will definitely pick it up.

Rage 2 for sure.

I prefer games that have a variety of things going on - whether it's unique weapons, an interesting story, or plenty of tactical options.

Spiderman.

Doom has plenty of variety too.

DOOM, but both look amazing.

Doom.

Rage 2 art design reminded me so much of Horizon zero dawn.

DOOM 2 is the one that changed the least but thats not a bad thing per se. DOOM 2 is the one I want

Skimmed through the Doom 2 gameplay video. Looks way too much like the previous game, including the enemies. The first was fun in shorter bursts. Monotonous if you kept going and going. Rage 2 seems to have the usual trash accuracy of modern first person shooters. The demo players pulled up the sights even when the enemy was right in front of them. I'm so sick of ADS stop and shoot gameplay. Not really excited for either one. I guess Doom 2, since the first was a lot faster and at least more fun than Rage.

Can't say. I know what DOOM will be, but RAGE 2 is completely different. I might like RAGE 2 more.

Doom E is amazing but Rage 2 is much larger in scope and depth while looking pretty impressive as well.

I'm more of a DOOM fan but RAGE2 looks very nice as well, I love both settings the sci-fi and post apocalyptic....I'll be getting both

DOOM (2016) reboot was arguably the most fun I've had in ANY first-person game for a long, long, long time. Sure, there are more interesting first-person games or even ones I like more, but DOOM was just insanely fun, from the second you started to the moment you stopped.

I look forward to DOOM Eternal, no doubt.

But Rage 2 looks pretty great as well. Post-apocalyptic games are always a blast, and Avalanche Studios has a pretty damn good track record with open-world games (Just Cause, Mad Max, Renegade Ops) that are also over-the-top in action.

I think I want both equally, but might be tipping towards DOOM Eternal due to the franchise history.

Neither look as good as Spiderman

DOOM Eternal looks like a true evolution.

New Weapons, New location, New mechanics, dash movement, new engine, more open level design instead of arena lockdown etc.

RAGE 2 may have ADS but its far from any other FPS. its larger in scale, excellent car combat plus Doom like shooting make this game very impressive.

For me its rage 2 i enjoyed the first one even though it was half finished. It looks very over the top but my kind of game at the moment.

I was blown away by what I saw from the Rage 2 world... then the Doom Eternal showcase stole the shine.

and this is why quakecon was better than E3.

Both looked like games for manchildren that feels threatened by anything cute.

but im not threatened by anything cutie animu JRPG.

They both look pretty cool. That said, my favourite moment at the whole conference was the beginning of the Phobos gameplay video, when the Doom Slayer strolled through a bunch of people who were all scared to see him, dragged a guy by the key card he was still wearing around his neck to open a door, and walked up to a rather mouthy security guard and silently went "nice plasma rifle, I'll take that." Doomy's just all out of f***s to give.

Doom Eternal for me.

Rage 2 for me. The vehicular combat looks too fun to pass on it.

RAGE 2 is nothing like the previous game, it's like they threw RAGE 1 in the dumpster

DOOM 2 looks like a great sequel and nice improvement over the previous game

becasue Rage 1 was not well received and if Rage 2 would be like original. people would complain more.

Rage 1 was not well received because the PC version sucked donkey balls, not because the game was bad or anything.

In fact I still consider the shooting and the enemies in Rage 1 to be the best I've ever seen in an FPS.

The car mechanics and car combat needed some work, sure. But they didn't have to throw everything the original offered in the garbage and do a reboot.

Car combat will be much better this time around. the shooting was excellent but everything was bland and shooting looks more better this time around too. more fast movement with dashing mechanic.

I also liked Rage 1 quite a bit. but apart from shooting mutants. it was not very good at all but i always wanted the game to deserve a second chance.

I can't say I was too impressed with the gameplay of Doom4. I actually thought Doom3 was much better. I preferred the slower pace and brooding atmosphere.

These new Doom games just seem too fast paced and hectic to allow for much thinking.

I don't know any fps where I think while playing, unless maybe stealth involved.

Doom: Eternal, gameplay was so satisfying over Rage 2. Doom 2016 did so many things right that you don't even need to change that much, but hot damn. I love the new movement options and the sounds are satisfying and punchy and sorry Rage 2, Doom: Eternal just outshines you in every way.

Tied for me

Both look great

Both look pretty damn awesome.

F.E.A.R series. It wasn't just run n gun; there were some tactics involved too.

Deus Ex series. Maybe it's not pure fps, but still.

Far cry series: Again maybe not pure fps but still...

Dead Space series

Borderlands: there were at least a few principles that needed to be adhered to

Rage: Definately a variety of cool weapons - inviting the opportunity for tactics

Metro 2033: Most of the thinking was probably about ammo conservation but at least that's something...

and I can think of a whole host of other games where there are a variety of elements to spice up gameplay. Whether that be things like suit properties, bullet-time or some other kind of special ability or weapon...

Also I think alot of it has to do with the sheer speed and number of enemies. I just felt like most of Doom was just run/strafe/shoot - and the glory kills didn't really help much to spice up the combat.

Doom did get repetitive but maybe its just me I use tactics but I don't think about it, I just do.

@npiet1:

Doom did get repetitive but maybe its just me I use tactics but I don't think about it, I just do.

Sure there's a bit of tactics - like taking out the more dangerous enemies first, saving powerups to near the end of an enemy wave and choosing between weapons.

But a few of the enemies were just super dangerous so there wasn't much option but to be running constantly. I think it was probably the constant running that I found tiresome.

To be fair that's doom, that's how dooms been since the start of the series. Its always been run constantly.

I suppose so, but it just seems to be getting more and more hectic and I'm not sure it's to my liking. That said, I might give the new one a chance.

Both look last gen and very, very tired. Yawn. Only PC gamers could get jazzed up about such turd.

Doom Eternal

Rage 2

Best troll on GS at the moment.

Great job, you dethroned Ghosts.

visually its doom no contest. avalanche apex engine is pretty trash.

Rage 2 I fear might be promising too much. I see Avalanche's talent in the vehicle bits, looks like their Mad Max game on crack. But hey, I would love it if they get that running smooth and looking good on consoles at launch. I for sure thought the early Doom footage we saw of the 2016 game was strictly what PC gamers were going to expect, that consoles would be lucky to get a decent port and XB1 for sure just forget about it, but oh how I was wrong, I would like to be just as surprised here. But, it is Avalanche, who gave use a Just Cause 3, so there's that to consider.

Rage 2 looks more ambitious but maybe too ambitious. Doom Eternal looks like more the same, which feels safe.

I loved Avalanche, but I was not a big fan of either Mad Max and Just Cause 3. Both games had amazing ideas, but such awful executions. Ended up getting bored really fast by either game.

Though it had many amazing sights, at the end of the day Mad Max was just a boring open world desert.

Just Cause 3 lost track in its many similar side activities, falling in the Ubisoft trap.

This time Avalanche is making three games at the same time... They should really downsize and focus more instead of spreading their resources over so many projects.

He said FPS, not a super hero cash grab flop designed for children.

1. Neither objectively looks last gen, and will likely stomp a majority of consoles games when on Ultra 4k.

2. I'm sorry these games aren't mostly cut-scenes and quick time events. I'm also sorry that fast paced shooters play poorly on controllers, relatively to mouse. Not everything has to be a slow cinematic game designed for soccer moms.

@zaryia: nah still Spiderman.

Couldn't agree more that's why I'm looking more forward to Rage 2. Doom Eternal looks good but Doom 2016 got a bit repetitive after awhile Rage 2 has the variety that Doom doesn't.

Looking foward to both. I voted for Doom E. Never played the first Rage. I looked today on Steam and see it is $2.49. So i will be buying that tonight so i can play it before R2 comes out.
