How's Era feeling on RAGE 2?
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
• Objectives that aren't outpost clearing
• Characters, story, emotions. Either a serious story or a comedy.
• Player choice, consequences, multiple ways to beat the mission.
• AI that isn't potatoes with guns
• Vehicle sequences that aren't gimmicks: depth, strategy, mastery. So many of the vehicle weapons are homing missiles. Go beyond: first person vehicle sequences where you can actually jump out, hijack another vehicle, feel like you are in the action movie as opposed to toy-vehicle combat. Be better than Far Cry.
• Emergent gameplay systems: living world with the bounty-hunters, faction wars etc. (AC Odyssey, Mordor Nemesis)
• Since the player is already super-powered, a movement/platforming system like Titanfall.
I think it looks interesting but I'm definitely going to wait for reviews and era's impressions before making a final decision
It is not uncommon that FPS runs 30 on consoles. Far cry and the new metro game both do.
It is more of the limit of a $200 box rather than dev being lazy or incompetent. If frame rate is really a concern, there are options for superior experiences.
Saying being turned off by this aspect just feels unfair to me.
At no point during my comment I blamed the devs. The game runs at 30FPS, even if it isn't their fault. Only way I'm buying a 30FPS first person game is if I love the franchise.
Dude I feel like you are literally depicting Cyberpunk 2077, lol.
Gunplay looks great and fun, but I have doubts about the developer and the open world. Not to mention the vehicles are a huge turn off.
These are last gen remasters. That's not quite the same.
The inconsistent marketing confuses me, to be honest. Some trailers show it as serious combat with semi-goofy enemies. Some videos show shit is crazy up and down. I like Avalanche a lot and I'm keeping an eye on it but I would prefer a consistent tone.
I'll be taking a wait and see approach to see what reviews and impressions are like.
I do have to give credit to Bethesda for putting it on Steam though, it was an easy OR win for them and will likely sell a lot more copies on PC than if it was just on their launcher.

It just looks a little try hard to me I guess if that makes sense? More appealing than the first game which looked bland as hell but I guess I'd rather wait for Borderlands 3 for a colourful mad fps.
I'd rather play something with a more positive title to be quite frank. I just don't want to go on places telling people i'm playing Rage 2.
It's a wait and see scenario for me, it will all depend on how reviews play it out...
Honestly I'm not really keen to play a 1080p game on my 4K TV :/ But if the game is amazing I will definitely buy it day 0

I really liked Rage despite its terrible ending and was actually looking forward to a sequel.
My problem with what we seem to get here is that it has a totally different vibe (and structure) compared to the first game. I'm not into the Just Cause and Far Cry games at all and therefore this looks like a pass for me. I just don't have the time or patience for this same old, repetitive open-world shit anymore...

I think it looks really fun. Unless there are horrible pre-release impressions/reviews, I'm in day 1.

Arkane and Tango are as much Bethesda as id is (they are all wholly owned) and much more "Bethesda" than Avalanche.
Also, Minerva's Den for Bioshock 2 was made by 2k Marin, or at least a smaller subset of the 2k Marin team that built Bioshock 2 (headed by Steve Gaynor, who was a level designer on B2).
Where are you getting this stuff?
It's looks OK, real good at times and I can't pass on a solid FPS, but I'll wait a for sale because I just don't see myself getting yet another game day-one this year. Unless cdkeys or some other site has an offer I cannot refuse (IIRC Doom 2016 was like 35$ back when it came out).

It looks pretty good, I can wait though, that type of game experience isn't what I'm looking for right now. Will totally get it sometime down the line though.
Yeah I saw that and it looks awesome. I'm talking about after launch though. Just watching normal people stream the game.
I played it at e3 last year. It blows my mind how they were using Xbox one S's instead of X's so the game looked extra bad and the frame rate was everywhere. It also looked like every other brown shooter from last gen
Yeah, "First-person Mad Max 2 with an id Software twist" seems to be an accurate description. Even putting the setting aside, the faction system in general is very similar, down to the presence of a "Projects" tab in the pause/map menu:

It isn't Cyberpunk, it is mechanics which were interesting and well-received in other single-player games. Cyberpunk has way more than my list.
This is why I am saying that Rage 2 is stuck in the past: they have nothing from this gen in terms of gameplay evolution (or trends like looter-shooter co-op or BR mode). Repackaging the boring and generic post-apocalyptic shooter. It is fine if that is all you need, but I think there are loads of games which are better for my time.

Also present from Mad Max:
- Convoys
- Races
- Drive an enemy vehicle back to your base to be able to keep it
- The whole look of enemy bases (at least the Goon Squad ones)
I really wonder if this game started development as Mad Max 2 and Bethesda stepped in halfway and said 'turn it into RAGE 2, also work with ID.'
It's actually running on Avalanche's own engine, but, yeah, id Tech was everybody's first guess, haha.
Yeah, that stood out to me the most, I'd say.
The overlaps do feel like too big a coincidence.

Looks really cool and I imagine it could be one of the most fun games this year. Doom + Far Cry? Sign me up.
However, I doubt I will get it day one. I will pick it up when it gets cheap because of backlog reasons and Days Gone being released soon. Will definetly get it though.

Looks good, but there's a sea of games I still haven't purchased yet that I also want.
So when Rage drops a bit in price I'll jump on it. In the meantime I still want some other games just as much, if not more.

The fuck does being stuck in the past mean when it comes to this game? And I'm not sure how you can call it repetitive when you haven't played it. But okay.
