A follow-up to 2010's Rage is one of the last titles I expected to be announced at E3 2018. Rage isn't a bad game per se--it was just an experience that didn't quite hit the same highs of Doom, Quake, and Wolfenstein. Regardless, Rage 2 arrives later this year as a joint development between id Software and Just Cause 3's Avalanche Studios. It's still too soon to come to any definitive conclusions about Rage 2 as a whole, as the game was in pre-beta when I played it. That said, of the two hours I spent in the game, the combat was a highlight while the title's open world left me with a few misgivings.

The demo did start on a fairly high note. Almost as if taking a queue from Borderlands' transition to Borderlands 2, Rage 2 seems to have a bigger focus on developing its characters in comparison to its predecessor. You get to pick the gender of your character, Walker, for one, and they actually do speak to the people you encounter. "You as Walker is a very classic story, but the bulk of the story really does come from [other characters]," id Software Studio Director Tim Willits said. The town I started in did feel somewhat alive, as the bustle of crowds provided a backdrop to the snippets of conversations I'd overhear as Walker strolled by. I was able to glean bits and pieces of world building as I found my way to the mayor's office; most of which was trivial, but much more preferable to getting a long-winded info dump via cutscene.

This actually looks really good. the gunplay looks fantastic. no surprised id software did it. and they are master of it.

Looks fun to bad you are forced to buy it on Bethesda crappy launcher no buy for me.

It looks better than I expected, I doubt ill be buying it though.

because its only on bethesda launcher?

Looks fun, but Ghosts is hyping it, so it must be bad.

Gonna watch the easy allies preview later today.

I love the first RAGE, I hope the sequel can deliver.

I didn't even know it was; so no. I dont want it because I have a feeling ill get bored of it before I finish it like I did with Doom. It doesnt look like it does anything new. Also I didn't like Rage enough to want another one.

According to the preview, driving around and traversing the open world felt boring and repetitive.

Looking at the previews, I can say that the game looks like a blast to play. Just good fast paced arcade fun with a ton of mini-games and fun physics. The flying physics and cars do look a bit dissapointing. Next to Metro Exodus, Cyberpunk 2077 and Doom the FPS lineup is looking very strong.

cyberpunk is RPG.

and yes FPS lineup for the first time since 2007 is this strong as we dont have enough SP FPS games today. thank God for bethesda no matter how bad they are developer is. they are good publishers.

All three are open world story driven single player games with each their sub genre, hence varied.

shooting mechanics look really tight. cool that you can fly.

enemy ai looks dumb though, most are just cannon fodder. i've got no armour, and just a club, but i'll still run wildly at the guy with the big gun mowing everyone down.

the boss guy bit at 3:20 annoyed me. if you unload a heavy automatic weapon into an unprotected face, i don't care how big the dude he is, there has to be some visible damage done.

still on the fence about the environments / game world but it could be a fun game. definitely won't look or perform like that on console though

Looks nasty. In a bad way not a good way. Rage 2 is going inside the dumpster. The story will be bad. The shooting. Bad. The gameplay. Bad. Good luck wasting money on a Bethesda AA game. Most of Bethesda games have low count of sales and this game will low sales too.

Same here, I'm also very excited for those three.

Its getting ridiculous, i didn't know that Bethesda had its own launcher. I also heard today Metro will be exclusive to the Epic store...

Look decent, and if it were on steam I am sure I would end up buying it on sale at some point! However with it being on Bethesda launcher I doubt I will bother...

Yep, this shit is getting bad so sick of these stupid launchers.

This looks waaaaaay more fun than the first one.

Lol Rage I like some of the first one but it have too much walking or driving like in grand theft auto. My coworker make a joke and say it should be call “Ex Husband” which I start to laugh because it true!

So how's life in opposite world?

This looks like Doom but without the great atmosphere of Doom but instead a go happy all shades of pink world and that alone is enough to deter me from buying it. Add to that what seems to be underwhelming enemy A.I. the fact is only on bethesda launcher and that they are adding microtransactions on a single player games so is a big NO for me

its good?
